Just drunk argued with a MAGA fascist at the bar tonight. We were both hammered, so take it as you will. I was armed, and I presume he was as well.
We had a nice talk. No one challenged anyone, certainly no threats. Decent exchange of views, even if we danced around one another, walked the line. No one wanted a fight, and that's the take away. But I felt better with a 9mm in my belt. (A 9mm I'm well practiced at using.)
So. You can be a victim, or not. "Victim" has always been popular among liberals. "I'm oppressed!" Nice headline, sorry tombstone.
Anyway, that's what happened.
Christians have been masturbating about being victims ever since we stopped feeding them to lions. Perhaps we should start that up again.
Getting hammered at a bar while armed and having an argument is not responsible gun ownership, full stop.
First of all, drinking while armed is as irresponsible as driving drunk.
Second, if you need to be armed to express your opinions, I don't think you need to be calling other people victims.
