The only portion that is well armed are the Republicans. Democrats spent the last thirty years demonizing gun ownership and enacting laws to restrict people from purchasing them.

Only a pathetically insignificant number of Leftists own firearms, including myself. And even fewer spend any time per month training with them, and may as well donate them to Republicans because even the most operator-level ergonomic high tech guns are worthless paperweights without regular training.

If anything the Trump fiasco has shown how stupid the argument of using guns to prevent a dictatorship is. A couple people tried to kill the wannabe dictator and were villified by both sides.

Americans will never rise up against the government. More than half of those who can vote chose the fascism. He controls the military. All of you could be armed and you wouldnt get through to him. Have fun shooting a hellfire missilie with your AR
