Boolshit like this is why I gotta remember to stock up on ammo well before the 2024 election.

LOTS of liberal sorts been buying guns. Women, POC and LGBT folks have been the largest gun buying demographic for a few years. They'll be stocking up in case of a Trump win. I'm an old white guy, but I'll be joining them.

And of course the conservative sorts will pull their usual freakout in case a Democrat wins. Even when it's the same Democrat from the last 4-years. You would think they'd have learned after 8-years of Obama. LOL nope. Panicky little bitches.

Plot twist: they come for his arms

Marx vs Reagan

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago

Saw a great comment once,

"On a scale of Marx to Reagan, how do you feel about gun control?"

I like to throw this one around:

"Can you fucking believe a sitting President of the United States said, ‘Take the guns first, go through due process second’?!"

"Biden can eat a dick!"

"That was actually President Trump."

The funny thing is that both Marx and Reagan were draft deferred and neither ever served in the military.

Both were fine with other people doing the fighting.

Still waiting for the vaccine to kill me. I was told I would be dead by September!

It's too bad they keep talking about it as if it's going to happen, then.

EDIT: This is going to be my only response to people who say dems aren't trying to take away / ban guns from now on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW1HPoqqB_8

You people are funny.

Reminder that it was Reagan who took guns away in California because he didnt want Black Panthers having guns.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (22 children)

I am 100% aware, thank you. But that doesn't change the fact that dems have to spout garbage about gun bans every time they open their mouths.

Nobody who has been on Reddit or Lemmy for any amount of time needs a reminder about that because it gets repeated 1 million times per day on every platform whenever gun control is mentioned.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

That's the point. It's easier to control people with fear, uncertainty and doubt than with any kind of tangible action. Just give people something to hate and tell them you are their savior. It doesn't actually matter if you do anything about "it", just blame your enemies for your "failures".

Does that remind you of any quotes?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Totally. Like every day. I can't seem to find any specific examples though, would you mind helping me out with that?

Google "assault weapons ban". Click the news tab. It's automatically sorted by newest.

Banning the sale of military-style assault weapons is exactly the same thing as taking your guns away.
