I don’t think you know what the world is like outside your gun nut bubble.
Then you should probably be a little less judgy about what folks think they need to do to defend themselves within that bubble.
Since you aren’t from the US, you may not be aware of Project 2025, but “some christofascist militia has me on my knees in front of a ditch” is a plausible eventual outcome for many over here if Trump gets in again.
Hey I’ve got news for you - all the US is the gun nut bubble, and we all take the impacts from it, whether we own guns or not. You may have heard about our problems with school shootings, for example, or our police who are convinced everyone wants to kill them, and so open fire at the slightest provocation…
I’m not even a gun owner buddy, but I’m not going to pretend the world is going to stay safe for everyone who isn’t (or can’t pretend to be) a white cishet christian if Project 2025 comes to pass.
Yeah a ton of people will lose their rights with project 2025, but how does having a gun help you fix that? Are you talking about like civilization declining into groups of people killing each other in the streets?
Have you not followed the context of this discussion that led to this seeming disagreement we’re now having? Please note, I am not the commenter in the picture below. I was explaining why someone would have this worry. If you think the worry is invalid or overblown, OK, I don’t feel the need to argue with you about it.
Braindead take, is Biden gonna come to my rescue when some christofascist militia has me on my knees in front of a ditch?
The cops will bring the rope.

Is this what your life is like?
Soon to be “our”. And not just in America, unfortunately.

no, he shouldn’t be. folks in gun nut bubble don’t need to defend themselves, they are just gun nuts, that’s the whole point of the argument 😆

hey, i’ve got news for you as well - more guns is not a solution to the problem. more guns is the problem.

No one seems to get that I’m neither a gun owner nor enthusiast, but go ahead, keep them coming.
How often are you shot at? Have many enemies trying to kill you? Grow up.

Edit: They are already ramping it up more, as if that were possible. They want to be ready to hit the ground running on Day 1 of Trump’s second term. https://www.advocate.com/politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-rnc

Gun nut? I’m not replying regarding guns, but the rise of right wing nationalism
