Guns have been a problem for the left for many years. Our country has a long history with firearms, and much of it has been troubling. We have had many mass shootings, and the NRA has pushed guns down our throats for years. They wanted you to believe that President Clinton and President Obama were going to take your weapons away as part of some vast conspiracy to round people up and put them in communist Muslim reeducation camps.
Things have changed. We now have a president who is friendly with the authoritarian regime in Russia, and who winks at white nationalists. Attacks and threats against Muslims and Jews have exploded in the last year. Indian workers have been shot at bars, a Sikh man was shot in his driveway, and Nazis feel safe to walk the streets again.
I know how some liberals feel about guns. This is a subject that has been dominated by the far-right for years, but it is time that we start taking it back for ourselves, because there are people out there who have gone beyond fantasizing about killing folks, and actually doing it.
I own a number of weapons. I grew up using guns and I can empty a full magazine of .40 caliber hollow point rounds from my concealed carry pistol into a target with pretty decent accuracy. At the same time, I have been a supporter of gun control laws – but we’re not going to see any progress made as long as Republicans control our government.
The far-right believes that liberals don’t carry guns, that we’re afraid of guns, and we want to ban them all. There are certainly some people on the left who do feel that way, but that’s a stereotype the conservative media loves to perpetuate to rile up their followers.
The difference between right-wing nut jobs with guns and liberals with guns, is that we liberals who pack heat don’t fantasize about overthrowing the government or holding off a SWAT team with an AR-15. We own weapons for self-defense and sport, not because we’re paranoid fanatics with penis compensation issues.
If you do decide to purchase a weapon and you haven’t used one before, take some training classes first. Be sure to know the laws in your local area, and understand the legal ramifications of using deadly force if you’re ever put into that situation.
Next, it’s time to decide what kind of firearm you need. For home defense, the best option is probably a pump shotgun loaded with buckshot. Unlike a high-velocity round from an assault rifle, buckshot isn’t likely to punch through multiple walls. If you plan on going the concealed carry route, the handgun you choose should be based on the size of your frame. The point of carrying concealed is that nobody should know that you have a gun, until you have to use it. Open carry is a very bad idea, even though it is legal in many states.
The far-right has been emboldened by a Trump presidency, and liberals buying guns will make them think twice. If you’re concerned about putting money in the gun industry’s pockets, there is always the option of buying a used weapon, just make sure you purchase it from a legitimate dealer.

/ˌmænəˈʃɛvɪts/ is a leading brand of kosher products based in the United States, best known for their matzo and kosher wine. Founded in 1888, it became a public corporation in 1923 and remained under family control until 1990, when it was bought out by a private equity firm. On April 7, 2014, Sankaty Advisors, an arm of private equity firm Bain Capital, bought the company from a group including investment firm Harbinger.[2] It is the world's largest matzo manufacturer and one of America's largest kosher brands.
Leftists will tell you what they really fear. They fear losing the leftist progressive power and control big government they've taken decades to build. These control freaks cannot stand the thought of losing that.
He's got conservatives so wrong, especially those that want our government to follow the Constitution. I doubt very little condones overthrowing our government, we just want to get back to the Constitution in a more limited capacity. Like it is supposed to be to promote more, every American citizen's freedoms and liberties, including that libtard. The right to bear arms also comes in to play to help protect those freedoms and liberties.
This libtard author is an idiot for not understanding the difference. I hope he is reading the feedback here. Tyranny is what he promotes, the exact opposite of what our Constitution stands for our government. The fact that he is calling to arms, which they hate, just shows how desperate they are becoming, trying to protect their corrupt status quo.

That’s what HITLER and the SS said before WWII about
sensible people who wanted to own guns. HITLER took ALL
the guns from the people except for his STORM TROOPERS who
marched, set fires, broke glass and acted up in general.
Then, when the SS came for the Jews & the Christians, they
were helpless. - FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!!
Then, finally, men like my dad had to go into Germany and
ram HITLER’S “intentions” down his damned throat. (Daddy
had to hunt as a boy & his aim was real good.) He would
have gladly dispatched Hitler; but, alas, the COWARD was
hiding in a billion dollar hidey hole. Meanwhile, the
German soldiers did not even for the most part have metal
helmets. (See photos from that era from Cornuda, Italy.)
The WANKER weaseled out and committed suicide rather than
face the soldiers who had come to ram it down his throat.
...I have been a supporter of gun control laws – but we’re not going to see any progress made as long as Republicans control our government...
Correct.
Now that the left wants guns to start a Civil War and crush any political opinions they don’t like, does this mean we get to keep the Second Amendment for personal use after all? Or, considering that the left worships the Double Standard like a god, will they find a way so only leftists get to have guns?
Been shooting since I was 6 years old. My grandfather needed to hold up the end of the barrel of my 22 long rifle bought by mail order from Sears and Roebuck.
Over the years I have become very adept with many firearms. I collect them and shoot them all. Particularly those from WWII and Vietnam. I have many. I have a gun range in my back yard as I am blessed by living outside of the city. I have never raised a firearm in anger and hope I never do.
I know well how to use them. Bet on the good guys. We know our weapons.
...I have been a supporter of gun control laws – but we’re not going to see any progress made as long as Republicans control our government...
Correct.
Leave the gun. Take the rugelah.
Of course, the US used to be teaming, nay overwhelmed, with Nazis...according to the leftist definition that all conservative straight white Christian men are Nazis naturally.
Don’t even think about it. Liberals cannot ever hold a gun in their hands; if they do, they become conservatives, and that would drive them crazy - so No, it will never happen. The author’s comment that he is a liberal with mucho guns and ammo is nothing more than fantasy and fiction writing. He/she/it hopes to get liberals thinking that maybe they should be armed, but their social constraints and need to conform to the group think will never permit this. When the SHTF, they will be exterminated like the vermin they are, along with the real vermin. So No, I think this article is pure fantasy and a trial balloon intended to see if liberals will embrace self defense. Never gonna happen as long as 911 operates. And by the time it doesn’t, they will be history.
LOL!
...The far-right has been emboldened by a Trump presidency, and liberals buying guns will make them think twice....
Some very troubling paranoia.
It must be awful living in an America where armies of imaginary Nazis prowl every street.
Let em buy.
We have more ammo and practice.
Went cowboy shooting this weekend. Zero misses on three guns and decent times.
Imagine what I can do with a semiautomatic and even a bolt action.
It’s stupid to promote violence as a reaction to losing . It can never end well and besides, WTF would you be fighting for anyway?
For our side it’s philosophical which can be quickly enumerated and positive benefits for our society and the at large.
They have a fracture philosophy and nothing exactly to fight for.
They want to fight for injustice? What injustice was done to you by this election?
Can you imagine making your point peacefully in the next election? The next several elections?
If you are against the good, common and regular citizen having the right to bear arms, how is your response not some it of irony?
Can you conceive of persuasive arguments for what you believe in and how they are universal concepts to all mankind and....and...don’t infringe on others?
You have no real principles and now you seek to act with violence as bullies?
Or, as I suspect, are you inciting others to act violently so you can take credit for being so brilliant as to cause death and injury that is so totally unnecessary?
You are a public key and a coward.
He’ll, I challenge you Pac-Man Because for sure you can’t fight sleep and fighting me would be completely unfair to you.
Give it a rest...
Attacks and threats against Muslims and Jews have exploded in the last year. Indian workers have been shot at bars, a Sikh man was shot in his driveway, and Nazis feel safe to walk the streets again.
*****************************************************
Most of which has been caused by members of your idiotic klan and others have been proven hoaxes.
Please feel free to describe where a crazed Republican has done any of what you allege.
In fact, presuming you have 10 fingers, count off and with links to the your accusations, how many have been done by our side.
Get back to me when you want to be a good an decent citizen and neighbor.
Your side is about violence by adolescent mindsets who have a pathology that is void of a conscience.
At least the author didn’t refer to his magazine as a “clip”.
.
They may buy guns, but they will still be pussies. No cure for that.
Really? I missed the notice that says I must buy a gun. In fact, I don't know anyone who was ordered to buy a gun and I've never even heard about anyone who was ordered to buy a gun.
The comments in the comment section are pure comedy gold, LOL.
The problem is our media has lied about Trump so much, these idiots still believe them. The media has whipped them up in to a frenzy thinking Trump is the next coming of the Nazi movement. It’s so laughable because they are so gullible that the joke is on them.
It’s the leftist media and the leftist culture, brought on by the Trump movement, that has been exposed as the ones acting like real fascists and nazis. The media is playing those folks in the comments sections, like darn fools. Maybe that’s what they get for bringing 8 years of disastrous 0bama on us.
