Gun owners/cowards. Same thing. Look it up in the thesaurus

There’s a very large overlap, but I can’t blame any minorities wanting to arm themselves in the current political climate. Arm queer people!

Lmao if someone comes at me with a gun I’m just gonna square up with them? It’s not cowardly to want to arm yourself in case your life at risk.

Karl Marx isn’t really random, he is the godfather of communism. Now I am not a full blown communist by any means but Karl Marx was a really smart dude who correctly saw and anticipated the negative effects of capitalism. It’s ok to disagree, I respect that completely but I’d ask we keep it civil.

Normally I would just let it slide, but I’m bored so why not have some discourse :)

  1. I do not own fire arms personally due to mental health issues. I do carry pepper spray and have a taser readily available. Worst case scenario a bow I use for hunting.

  2. There are legitimate uses for fire arms full stop. Protection against bodily threats, hunting, tyrannical government, etc.

  3. I support universal background checks and “common sense gun regulation”. It is a dangerous tool, but it is still just a tool. I’d love to see mandatory fire arm safety training before attempting to buy a gun.

  4. Workers rights are bogged down because of hierarchical systems designed towards uplifting the few and the expense of the many.

Why should the government have exclusive use of violence? In any case, the eventual goal (for me personally and people like me) is peace and liberty. Until that happens the working class must have access to fire arms. The people who should not own guns are those with mental health issues, and access should be limited to trained/responsible individuals.

I know you’re just trolling or whatever, but I’d love to have some reasonable answer to what a non-cowardly response is supposed to be if there is some armed person trying to hurt me or my family. The police response time where I live is 30-45 minutes. I don’t want to shoot someone, I hope I never have to, but if it’s either me or them? Well that’s what makes having guns practical.
