The more I see people on the Left trying to restrict gun ownership, the more I'm disappointed and suspicious I am of them being insider threats.
Ironically, peace and the simple freedoms to exist as whatever kind of person you want to be are only enforced through the promise of violence.
You lefties forgot about this rule and allowed fascists/MAGA to arm up and win elections while you decided guns were too scary and it wasn't worth the trouble to have deterrence and prefer to argue about tedious shit.
As a leftist I used to oppose the gun ownership for all. Now not so much. I've come to realise that in these times we need to take every measure we can to battle tyranny and fascism.
I still think it's crap if loonies have guys, 'cos I don't want American situations where there are weekly mass shootings. I do think though that when there's totalitarianism rising, we need to disarm the fascist and arm ourselves.
