    Congrats! I, too, don’t care about the opinions of people that wish to limit civil rights for individuals!

    Just to point out, many of those societies with gun control that were traditionally more tolerant and progressive are also trending right and limiting civil rights at alarming rates. Sweden is trying to make (has made?) burning a Q’uran a crime. France has banned the niqab in numerous public places, and Marine Le Pen keeps getting more and more popular. So if the choice is being armed while fascists are taking power, versus being unarmed while fascists are taking power, I’m gonna take the former every time.

      It’s interesting that you point to the erosion of rights in other countries when the US is on a similar trajectory and yet all the gun humpers here are showing not even the smallest desire to do anything about it. You just played yourself. Not that you care.

        You seem to think that I’m conservative.

        I’m not.

        Aside from being involved in mutual aid groups, there is–sadly–not a lot that a single individual can do to reform society.
