    Sure sounds like MAGA is trying to start a hot civil war.

    Going to be interesting when these people find out liberals are well armed and trained.

      TBH, I seriously considered going strapped to the protest today. But I think I’d rather be a martyr than be the guy who shot someone at the protest even if it was to defend myself and my fellow protestors. At least that’s my thinking now while violence is unlikely in my town. If violence gets more prevalent and more expected, I might change my mind.

        I respect the thought you put into it, and it sounds like the right choice, for the time being at least. Hopefully it stays that way…

        That was my exact thinking this morning as well. My state allows concealed carry without a permit, so I could legally go with my carry… but I thought better of it. I didn’t expect any violence where I’m at, and it just seemed like it wasn’t worth the risk, being the cause of more harm than good. It kinda went against the spirit of this protest imo, so I left it at home

        Fuck it, I’m not that scared of dying that I gotta go strapped everywhere to feel safe. There’s a time and place for carrying, and the protest wasn’t one of them for me

      It’s always the magas inciting violence. Rushing to violence is a side effect of ignorance.

      If you’re looking for a civil war, you’d be a fool to think the Magas aren’t better prepared for base violence.

        I personally man handled service members as a security guard in a military port town. I know where I stand. They can be as violent as possible. I can get even more crazier. And at that point. I break out the instant kill moves a dead SEAL friend taught me as my last resorts.

      They’re preparing for dooms day… They’re fulfilling their own prophecy. I’m in a red area and I just saw an ad about getting a permit to concealed carry. Guns aren’t allowed here.

        What do you think they should do? Go to Minnesota and wack two Republicans to balance the legislature back out?
