Okay, before we get too far into ANOTHER argument here based on taking a generalization as a universal assertion...
I'm not saying progressives aren't ready to defend themselves, I'm not saying progressives don't own guns, I'm not saying every gun owner is this.
I was responding to this:
Which is very clearly talking about a VERY SPECIFIC kind of VERY VOCAL gun owner. I'd like it very much if you could just take my acknowledgement that I asserted something about a group that DOES NOT apply to everyone as the grumbling, empathizing complaint about conservatives it was intended to be, and we can both just get on with our days without degenerating into another unnecessary, pointless slap fest.
Honestly a whole bunch of somewhat respectable progressive comedians and whatnot who I know have gotten guns in the US and I don't really fault them that much with how shit is going.
They're plenty available and if you don't have kids in the house you need to worry about, why not? It's not like the gun companies are gonna shut down via boycott of some leftists.
