The AR-15 thing is funny to me. Never wanted one until libs started screaming "BAN!" after Uvalde. Fine. I'll get mine and get grandfathered. Turns out, they're a blast to shoot and far more horrifying than non-shooters know. Anyhow, my fellow libs literally sold me a gun. Good show?
By "automatic weapons" I assume you mean AR-15s and the like? Yeah, we've basically always had those. By that I mean, the US population has always had better rifles than standard military issue. (I've been told the presenter is right-wing, so take the video as you will. None the less, it's factual and eye opening.)
In any case, I foresee fascism coming to America soon, very soon. Any student of pre-WWII Europe can see this. I've oft argued that it's already here, they're just not knocking doors ATM. POC, LGBT+ and women are the largest gun purchasing demographic, because they see the writing on the wall.
Nah, man, I feel you. You’re getting downvoted but I have friends that got into shooting and they never glorified it or thought it meant anything political. They hunt with bows half the time and are way more proud of those kills. Guns aren’t their identity.
If it gets to the death squad stage where they are knocking on doors, I have no idea what an arsenal will do, though? It's not like they won't have tanks and a whole array of weapons. Also, all the magoos will likely be let loose to do their worse, too - it's not like that arsenal will be used to fight off an actual tyrannical government. Sure, those at risk might be able to fight off the randos looking to carry out some violence against them, but against an organized fascist government?
52 here and I'm right with you on every point. These kids growing up in a post-Columbine world don't get what it was like. SO much was different.
Nope. Gun rights people act like every tiny thing is a slippery slope. And they're right in many ways! But FFS, our rights are hardly moving backwards regarding conceal carry. (GIF takes a moment to start.)

I vote D, all the way down to dog catcher, but simply refuse to be disarmed.
(LOL, that's either a "manifesto" or "TED Talk", not sure which.)
