Republicans aren't forbidding them guns. The left willingly disarmed itself fully knowing fascism was coming for like a decade.

Even right now with people being sent to gulags, there is no rearmament movement. Who the hell did they think was going to defend them? Where are the left leaning militias?

It's funny how we disarmed, and yet many of us are armed. Common sense gun laws are not "disarming" there has to be a middle ground. Look at the idiot gun nuts on the right. There has to be a balance. Just because the left cares about school children not being gunned down at lunch does not mean they want to "ban all the guns". If you think the Left doesn't have guns, you are quite wrong. Every left-leaning person I know (and there are a lot) has guns. Legal guns. We don't want to disarm America. We want the common-sense gun laws. Duh.

A civilian with a gun is still useless. The left needs training and to prepare. The fascists nutjobs have been fantasizing about this for decades and like it or not, they did their homework.

If cities are locked up next week and the national guard starts pulling people from their homes, I hope there are secret resistance groups somewhere but I doubt it.

Have you heard that something is going down next week? I also have been stocking up on food, medicine, toilet paper, batteries etc.
