Neat. One of the first groups to be targeted by fascists to consolidate power are those who oppose them politically. Remember those concentration camps that were only being used for the criminal illegal immigrants? And now they're for any immigrants? And sometimes citizens? Guess who they're going to be used for next.
Americans, you stand at a crossroads. Decades from now what will you want to tell your families you were doing when the fascists came for the next group?
I barely have time to shower let alone protest fascism.
This is by design. Those in power have the money, time, and security to actively plan oppression and suppression. Keeping us in a survival state keeps us from advocating change.
Most leftists/libs here are not gun owners. Right-wingers/GOP/fascists tend to be the gun owners.
Link to my other post farther down with receipts: https://alexandrite.app/lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/23086863
That's your experience, my experience a lot of folks are armed that are libs/leftist vets including me. We just aren't talking about them like "look at my big dick". The ranges I've gone have been a mix of both sides.
I think it's just by the area you live by and your neighbors from your experience.
My gun collection is as vast as my dick is big. 2.
We are gonna need that swinging dick here to help. Even a small thing can make a big difference.
That's your experience.
Exactly everybody's experience is different.
Except it's not. Y'all are a bunch of sensitive babies about these stats. And again, that's YOUR experience. Also, the word "most" seems to have a strange meaning to you.

yeah, ahm...those receipts support the previous posters point:
they said that way more libs or leftists are armed than people assume.
20-30% gun ownership is an absurd amount of armed leftists, thus exactly proving the point made.
yes, rightoids have even more guns. that doesn't invalidate the statement that a LOT of the left/libs are also armed.
y'all are just armed to an insane degree in general...
I won't have to tell them anything if I'm dead
Americans, you stand in the crosshairs - FTFY
