Because fascism is here and guns are a requirement now if we don't want to live in an authoritarian future.
I've been anti-gun my whole life. That's because I had some faith that our society was intelligent enough that we could create a less violent nation that respects democracy and votes our way into a better future.
Reality Check: That isn't our society.
Guns may not save us from authoritarianism, but not having them guarantees it. Wish it wasn't so, but it is.
If this train keeps derailing, they will end up coming for you. That's how fascism works. You want a way to defend yourself or not?
Pretty much my thoughts. I had someone ask me if I would give up my guns to save children, and or course I would! Thing is it wouldn't. It just be one less rational person unarmed and neck presented for stepping on. If we had a main wide disarmament(which would include the fucking cops!) I ain't giving up shit.
