. HeH

My struggle with this idea is that I have family members who have depression and anxiety. I just really don’t want guns in my house.

Already did. Several.

Get gun training. Bring all your friends to the local gun range sign up for a beginner course.

Yup

I'm working on that myself and encouraging my buddy to do the same. The war has started.

Already done

Waaaaaaaaay ahead of you.

And training to use it - it’s worse than useless otherwise.

One gun?

I was just mulling this over this morning.

or 5 and lots of ammo. the "funny" part is they don't think we have them already. surprise.

Yup

If you don't like guns, buy ammo and sell it at cost to your friends who shoot. It deprives MAGA of the ammo while helping your friends.

If you don’t like guns, buy ammo and give it to your friends who shoot. Invest in their training because you you owe them for being armed and not being armed yourself.

And practice with them weekly.

Dems have almost as many as maga where I live

anything more than like 2 or 3 guns is kind of redundant IMO. You need a 9mm pistol and an assault rifle in case the shit really hits the fan. A shotgun is good for home defense. Lots of ammo of course.

Offense is necessary, but don't forget the defense (if possible). This kit is lightweight & mobile. I didn't stock up on food, as I'm sure I can "find" some in my travels. #SilentRunnings

Do need a mask and vest with a concealed pocket Mask for extreme Vest for daily

Pretty much the same here.

What they may have are all the military grade toys Reminds me...I need more ammo

Also, for a while, have been considering getting a gun but for climate change related reasons—if/when things get bad, it will be worse for women.

You’re years late. Get your shit together.

Someone pointed out early, but the posted has been deleted, we need drones.

Money > guns. If everyone would truly stop spending their money (general strike) we could do this w/out guns. But, some people really ❤️ their guns & not so much inconvenience. I'd much rather win this with smarts & wit over force & violence. However, by any means necessary. ✊

A gun. I would suggest 1. 30/06 rifle 2. 12 gauge pump shotgun 3. Revolver or pistol 9mm up to a 45 caliber. Then get in some range time and get familiar with them. Then plenty of ammo for the 3 of them. Get a holster for that side arm. A survivor guide book for some casual reading.📖🤣😂 really 🤬

*drones

I feel obligated to inform you that many of my non liberal friends have MANY guns. One will help, but a war with the well armed (especially those with a lot of ammo) is not a good idea. I'm not saying we should give up but be very careful firing the first shot.

Well, most of my liberal friends have guns too

so are you non liberal friends fascists then?

No. I still believe they're better than that. Some are suspected, but I'm pushing them to find their limits. I'd still warn not to approach them with bad intent.

What does that even mean? Sounds to me like you know what your friends are and you and don’t have a problem with them. You know that one about dinner with racists.🤷🏾‍♂️ IMO you are on a “Good people on both sides” level.

Yeah I have a hardcore racist MAGA uncle. It’s difficult because I have good memories with him from my childhood, but I don’t talk to him anymore.

I don’t know how much worse it can get. We just stopped caring about each other’s feelings and wellbeing. Now it’s wrong to be empathetic. We are not who we think we are. What nation of integrity would allow a felon to pardon 1500 felons?

This is what happens when reason and the rule of law die. Violence is the only way to fight tyranny.

I posted this that kind of speaks to that bsky.app/profile/b21r...

I used to think that too.

Isn't there the "stupid factor" too, tho? Russia started dumbing-down their country after WWI. When all education is removed, a society only knows what they're told. It's what "Moron Mainstream Media" is trying to do to US.

With the wealth of human knowledge at our fingertips, I'm not sure anyone really has an excuse not to be educated. I do get your point though. 😎

Americans have been spoiled rotten

You're so right. What I've learned...thru experience...that if those people haven't seen it with their own eyes...if the poverty and cruelty hasn't affected them DIRECTLY, they don't believe anything. Fascists DEPEND on that.

That presupposes people accessing this wealth if knowledge understand how to navigate it, fact check what they find, and can discern credible from non credible sources. All skills that have been slowly stripped away from education in the last decade.

I guess we started dumming down more recently

Started in 1980 with Reagan

You should listen to Yuri Bezmenov, he predicted the state of the USA now in the 1980's. The dumbing down of the USA started 40 years ago. RuZzia WON the war against the USA without setting foot on the continent or firing a weapon! youtu.be/yErKTVdETpw?...

Republicans have been targeting our education system since the 1980s, at least. Citizens noticed an uptick in crime and teen pregnancy then and they were gullible enough to believe it was "because liberals removed god from our schools". As if the absence of " God" causes those things.

That's the difference...they believe that as long as they wrap themselves in what THEY'VE twisted around into a bastardation of God's Word, any "sin" (like Paedophelia) is covered...and they're above everything. Even God.

💯

I think your probably right, Trump has said he likes the uneducated! That’s why he’s trying to end all education!

Be REALLY aware of Prageru. They're now rewriting history. "Slavery's not such a bad thing, no?"

A nation that follows the rule of law zealously, forgetting the spirit of the law behind it. Remember, a lot of orange guy's support comes from people who deem certain other people "illegal". Why are they illegal? Because our immigration system is broken beyond repair.

DITTO! It would seem appealing to our government, police & military for help & protection doesn’t work. When did that happen?

My brother in law is hardcore Fox watcher. He used to be the life of the party, now I can barely be in his presence, try to ignore his rants. Very rarely visit, feel bad because I love my sister and she claims she is not a Yrump supporter but don’t know how she can live with him if she’s not.

Sad, my entire family lives in Ohio. You know the rest.

I'm in Ohio and most if my family are in the cult.

I dread my visit to this state.

I hate it here

I get it, I know, leave.

I don't have dinner with them anymore, but I know they'd take care of me in a time of need. If you think people should just give up on 30% of the country, then you don't know what's going to save it.

I think the point he is making is to avoid underestimating the opposition. Poorly trained, poorly armed people will die a pointless death, no matter how young and strong you think you are. Non-violent Resistance will allow you to survive until victory. Be invincible, unafraid, defend, protect.

Why are you still friends with them, though? It's not 2018, it's 2025. You should have a very good idea where they stand by now. There's lots of points of no return that we've crossed.

Life isn't black and white. I really don't keep up with them now. But I know if I called on them in pinch they'd be there. My hope is they'll come around.

Then call on them to reject fascism. We're at 1933 on our "progress to fascism" meter. Some things actually are black and white, and supporting the orange guy and his policies past 2018 is one of them.

it’s only a fascism to them if it affects them personally in a negative way. If it’s only happening to the “other” then they keep cheering it on.

Hell, even if it does affect them negatively, they will most likely still blame the other

Arguing for gray in a situation like we’re facing now is an admission that you would rather bargain with evil than fight it. I’m making the call right now: When the time comes to pick a side, you’re going to collaborate.

Only evil works in absolutes. Hence why we are where we are.

From one wolf to another, this is a horrible take. You're so scared of black and white that you're allowing black to define itself as grey. Look, I get that we want to avoid all-or-nothing thinking, but I'm serious when I say we're at 1933. Militarized police are being mobilized in the streets.

I’m not worried about militia men in the middle of Idaho. I think you’re okay Jethro. No offense, but wtf are you actually talking about??

Those same militia men from the middle of Idaho are signing up to be ICE agents and getting a $50k signing bonus and $150k per year.

Yes. We are in the beginnings of a civil war, if we allow it. Civilians with ammo is what is SUPPOSED to curtail thus according to the militia. But, nah, they just live to suck orange nuts.

No, it’s not a civil war because nobody is taking up arms on our side. It’s a fascist military occupation with only a weak resistance. It was all we could do to have a No Kings protest for one day then it fizzled out.

If a governor actually told the NG to disobey the unconstitutional order and protect the citizens from ICE and Trump sent in the regular military, and they were split in their loyalty, then we might have a civil war.

Or if we formed an actual militia that could be called a real organized fighting force…but so far, there is nothing like that.

Sounds like let they pass & sit back & be run the fuck over! NOT HAPPENING!

Guerilla.

Liberals have lots of weapons too

Assholes with guns are going to shoot everything up if anyone tries to resist the brig beautiful coup. Have I got that right?

Pew Pew Pew Merica!

you've only got two hands, and you cant carry thousands of rounds on you. It doesnt matter how many ARs they have, they can still only practically use one at a time. Use your fucking brain FFS.

You're assuming you know where the battleground is...

Guerilla warfare has no front.

it's your front porch, dipshit.They are coming for YOU. It's your street. It's infront of the state capitol, state militias vs Federal loyalist forces. USE.YOUR.FUCKING.BRAIN.

If your impression is that drastic, then maybe you shouldn't be criticizing people who may be on your side. Prepare and be smart.

Perhaps you should tell us where it is then.

Where the hell do people get the money? Guns aren’t cheap, but ammo is big $.

My hope is most of them will just shoot themselves in the foot

Liberal progressive here….a shitton of weapons…not afraid at all.

We can't out gun them but we can outsmart them.

Already happening in Texas.. Two guys stating they were ice came to a guys door at night, they fired through door, he shot and killed them. Gov now said they didn't know who they were🤷🏼‍♀️

I and many of my liberal friends are well armed. We just don’t flaunt it.

Correct

F them.

Then learn to make and fly drones with faraday cages.

I’m a progressive revolutionary and I have guns and ALOT of ammo.

You need better friends.

Then we get more

As a card carrying progressive I have two guns.

Just saying in almost every large city on the country there are large groups of military aged men that have been engaged in guerrilla warfare against the state for decades and are heavily armed. MAGA mobs try to move in on their turf they will learn that urban warfare ain’t like target shooting

No war has ever been won between the rank and file. The only way to win is to take out the leaders. Don't bother with your time with the idiots who follow them.

Also been saying this #1000RANDOPATRIOTS is all it takes. The list is obvious, I know who I’m going for, do you?

Profound

No one said draw 1st blood More like... They will hunt us down and ...whatever. You already know

Exactly!!

First blood was already drawn, no one did anything

Yep, some ICE thugs opened fire on a family with young children and some private security contractor shot some elected officials.

So your friends don’t like democracy? And would fight against it? Is that what non liberals do?

No, that's not true. Remember that democracy is what got us here. Just too many sat out the last election.

They sat out the last election because democracy has been gone for awhile.

Yeah, that’s interesting logic.

There’s more to it than voting. The folks you vote in have to do what you want them to do. Do you see evidence of our elected officials working for the interests of the electorate? They represent the interests of big money.

Not enough but there are some. One problem is their party affiliation affects them. Not enough general voter support or support from their own party if its against the "greater good" of the party. Tribal BS! Term limits are so important to improve that. Also, no stock trading and no lobbying.

Just watching them all gang up on Mamadani. Unbelievable. He might do something to help regular, working NYers and he’d be focused on NYC, not Israel. We can’t have THAT!

Liberals also have a lot of guns we just don’t make it our whole identity. Second as a veteran I can tell you, shooting a gun and combat shooting are two different skillsets.

Exactly. We are not going up against our own military with our guns. Jesus Christ. 🤣

Thank you for your service. I don't doubt that liberals have guns. But they're also less likely to come out to blindly cause chaos. I'll go in your direction and hope that the reasonable will protect and prevail👍

Yes but see you already stated why these gun-toting morons would fail: they’d be chaotic without cohesion or discipline and that would be their downfall.

And the gestapo will blow up the 2d amendment crowd in a flash. I suspect that in states where marijuana is legal and there are medical marijuana recipients, those people will be easy arrests.

There are plenty of people who are neither right or left and are feeling threatened by a heavy-handed government and many of these people have access to guns. There will be a tipping point.

That's true people are just starting to believe what's really happening in our country.I hope it doesn't take all our violence to break out☹️

I like to think when this starts it won't be neighbor against neighbor, but We The People against the authorities trying to keep all of us lowly citizens from getting food, healthcare, basic necessities, etc. But maybe I'm just blissfully naive.

Protection. Not to target people.

Both I think it will be both There will be insane magats driving around shooting , running over, firebombing and he realized assaulting. Women and children will be their targets Texas...they will be at playgrounds ..not in high $ white parks ...average diverse ones

Maybe at first, but if they're starving right along with us and Orange Messiah ain't paying them in food... Well, they'll run out of energy pretty quick. But we'll see, I guess. And tRump could use the North Korea model and only give the military (and paramiliary?) food. Sooooo...

Yes, I can see that too. But hopefully not as many as some fear. With any luck...

They have many because it makes them feel "special". Those special people have never shot at anything that shoots back. Also the tyrannical government they support doesn't need them anymore. That government keeps track of ammo purchases. Just a thought.

If you go far enough left you get your guns back. I have four myself. Neighbors have an actual gun room.

Just because they are armed doesn't necessary mean they know what to do with them and tactics and the element of surprise would be key. But when the time comes, outing the people we pretend are friends but are really disgraceful fascist would also be necessary. As well as finding better friends

Let me guess, they studied the blade Cringe edgelords should go back to the chans

All of my liberal friends have guns. Most have many guns & have military backgrounds. They hit what they aim for.

I hate to inform you but many of my Liberal Friends are just as locked and loaded. The misinformation is that WE don't pack! Let them fafo!

It’s concerning when Jewish people are arming themselves.

How many guns can they use at once cause that's all that really matters. One or 2, plus tons of ammo is all you need.

They’re not the only ones with guns.

It’s the first time I’ve ever thought about it. I don’t want a gun anywhere in my house, but these MFs?

Same girl!!

Get over it. Break your programming.

I’m in Texas (only because my 91 year old mother needs care) so getting a gun will be easy peasy. I’m afraid that’s something I’ll need being a microscopic blue speck choking in red vomit. That would be Lubbock…
