I'd be more worried about the rhetoric if I thought most people who are still on Twitter and agreed with Musk were able to carry their AR-15 any significant distance before getting winded.
This joke has gotten pretty old by now and only helps downplay the seriousness of their dangerous ideas.
Haha you showed those silly fat gun owners. Good thing they aren't carrying something that can shoot a projectile faster then you can run!
If you thought I was making this about gun owners in general and not right-wing Elon worshipers, why do you think I specifically mentioned the gun they think will win them this civil war of theirs?
Not everyone is out to take your guns away.
I doubt folks are marching anywhere and shooting at each other it'll be more likely drones doing the work. You can fly a drone from your home or your car or your yard. They even have drones with AKs attached to them. Maybe the civil war after the next one will be fought with people in formation again, but the civil war these guys are proposing will be much more digital.
It's gotten worse than that, I'm afraid. That ProPublica article that dropped yesterday about the militias was concerning.
Because this is the Internet, a link is always appreciated: https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-secret-ap3-militia-american-patriots-three-percent.
