    That is so fucked up.

    This is basic 2A. This is the essence of it. Handgun in the home in case someone breaks in.

    Bunch of dudes break in, with guns, in the middle of the night, and gun owner, awakened from sleep, opens fire in self defense.

    Boom, basic.

    THEN they announce that they’re police and the narrative then changes. That’s not ok. That judge is a dick.

    Those police killed a health care worker asleep in her bed through their own shitty behavior.

      Shoot back. You’re going to die in any case. This is how the cops have trained me to react.

      Is it any wonder that blacks, LGBT folks, women and other minorities have been the largest gun purchasing demographic over the past few years? Or did y’all think guns are only for us middle-aged white guys?

      Defend human rights by any means necessary. Fighting for a just society may mean fighting, and yes, the price might be your life. I got kids. Not going to see them grow up in Nazi America.

        Liberal gun owning is definitely a thing. The difference is liberal gun owners don’t hang flags and such. They’re the unmarked houses.

          Mom sent some gun stickers right before she died. “Shalafi likes gun! Here are some neat stickers for him!”

          Sorry mom, not putting that shit on my truck. Risk vs. reward, nope. And they’re all black, can’t go on my rifle cases. :(
