Edit: For all the people acting like buying a gun is somehow crazy or whatever

no. it has nothing to do with that.

With the elections coming up theres a lot of posts saying vote. I don't think that will do much but if you want to vote do it.

it's this.

surprise surprise, it's a ml user telling everyone your votes don't matter and the only option left is to start killing people.

for reference, I own guns and know how to use/care for them. I think it's wise to purchase a firearm, no matter how small, to properly protect yourself in the event of the worst case scenario.

WE ARE NOT THERE YET.

democracy, though wounded, is still operating.

laws, though broken, are still enforcing.

I think this is what most people who live outside the US and even some of the agitators that live inside don't understand. Our government, and society, is still operating within expected parameters. until the government starts to pull a Stalin or begins killing entire towns/cities, fighting back with guns is not an option.
