Conclusion is all that needs to be said

These books are filled with titty-thumping threats about rising up against tyranny. They assert that all these handguns are there to insure no government ever tries to take things too far. But what would that look like? Some of the more coherent books try to pull obscure events from history to demonstrate the dangers of gun control, but there's a more contemporary example. Philando Castile was pulled over by police 46 times for things like speeding, not wearing a seat belt, or having muffler trouble. Actual "jack-booted government thugs" took his liberty, stole thousands of dollars of his money, and eventually shot him to death because he had a legal gun in his car. And not a single one of you grabbed a rifle and overthrew the government. So don't tell me there will be a second civil war. You've already seen tyranny, and your reaction was to blame the victim for not meekly complying hard enough. Unless ... oh shit, unless you're ... no. Unless you're ... r-racist?

I don't give a tinker's damn how much money you have and how much you're willing to spend on firearms. Not even the Koch brothers have enough money to buy enough weaponry that should the feds ever decide to come after them, they'd have more than the equivalent of a cap pistol in a nuclear fight. If you buy a firearm to "protect yourself from the gummint" then all you're doing is deciding which firearm you want to be holding when you're killed. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.
