I think it is time to get a gun

[Love Child]

There is going to be a civil war, what do you think?

Are you referring to the state of discord in our country right now? The us vs them mentality? What I've heard referred to as tribal? Not exactly sure why that term makes me laugh.

If you do get a Gun, will that make you one of them?

And no, civil war if it was to be, would likely have happened right after the election, when tensions were sky rocketed off the charts!

I'm siding with Captain America. Tony Stark is such an asshole.

I wouldn't worry though, I think John Titor said the civil war doesn't happen until 2036.

Alex Jones (conspiracy theorist/radio host) was saying the Dems were planning a civil war on July 4^th.

I got a little heated today when I read about the pardoning of Steven and Dwight Hammond Jr.

So I posted a thread, sort of satire, sort of wondering wtf.

Yes. Yes it will.

It seems one side is fearful that the governement will take away their guns or gun rights-or they say they must keep guns because the government may one day come knocking on their door etc etc

But I am scared that those will come knocking on my door, not the governement.

Are these videos of people calling the cops on people of color real? Are cops shooting blacks unnecesarily or is it justified?
Are people being held accountable for their actions?

I get it, I understand why you feel the way you do. There is a segment of society that believes what Alex says and supports him. They are people who are very easily led & don't question even the most outrageous statements. There are always going to be people like that. There just seems to be an abundance of them these days.

I know it's hard to understand how he could pardon domestic terrorists & I'm pretty sure there will be more pardons of that nature. I tried not to be surprised given he had already pardoned Sheriff Joe & Dinesh D'Souza. Chances are, those pardoned in the future will be even less deserving than those two and that's saying something.

Hard to believe, isn't it. The kid cutting grass, another one delivering newspapers, the lady campaigning, etc. I used to make jokes about how stupid so much of the general public is but it's not so funny when they have proven me right again & again.

Yup where the heck would the U.S. be without any rioting, marches, displays of immaturity, made up stories of imagined wrongs, the list goes on. It would be kinda boring much like putting all the clowns in a firing squad.

People seem to forget that lots of people all over the political spectrum own guns in this country. They're just not assholes like the republicans that make it part of their identity.

The two are separate entities. Political affiliation means nothing in this aspect, it is the progressives, liberals and quite a few Democrats that equate gun ownership and Republicans in the same line of sight. I don't even know where or how this delineation of opinions began but the general public has been indoctrinated into this type of falsehood. I can only admit that we have defenders and detractors of Americans right to own firearms. I just do not see the left defending that right very much, and the right defending the constitutional right set forth.

You had to turn this into a political discussion, didn't you. No one even asked what kind of gun I want. Sheesh.

I was going to ask back then, but I didn't.

So I'm asking now, what kind, and why?

I think it's awesome that you're taking the initiative to keep yourself safe and not depend on someone to do it for you. The power should be yours. If you've never handled a gun before I would suggest that you take a basic class, at the very least. Go, Love Child, go!

Do you have any recomendations for personal safety?

Awesome advice Duchess! Thanks!
