I’d vote for a candidate who campaigned to repeal the Second Amendment.

      Hate to be that guy but the second amendment was drafted hundreds of years ago. The invention of the nuclear bomb was such a jaw dropping discovery, try explaining to the people who drafted it that the government will have weapons of war that make the arms they had in mind literally useless.

      Having guns, for the purpose of keeping a tyrannical government in check, is as effective as bringing ice to the North pole to keep it from melting.

        Tell me again how we won in Vietnam/Afghanistan/Iraq… o yea we didn’t, and if you think that nuking your own populous is logical…wtf. because that neighborhood you live in, isn’t just a bunch of people who think just like you. So when they bomb your neighbors house, your shit is getting fucked as well.

          Yeah, fuck me, it’s almost like trying to quell an insurgency on foreign land where every time you murder a terrorist you make more because those terrorists had families and lived in communities. It’s almost like that’s unconventional warfare where the only way to win is by committing a genocide (which we can absolutely do but choose not to, you little fuckin goober).

          We didn’t ‘lose’ Vietnam, Afghanistan, nor Iraq. The government decided it wasn’t worth occupying the land any further and had become too costly. You really fuckin think the government is going to just throw their hands up and go “Awe shucks, guess we gotta give up our own land to the hicks with assault rifles.” No you fuckin cabbage, they’ll roll out tanks and APCs from the military bases 15 miles in any direction with full kit and put your dumb ass in your own bed and tuck you in.

          You are giga fucked in the head if you think for even a solitary second domestic martial law with the combined force of all military branches is anywhere near as difficult as shipping that same hardware halfway around the world to places that don’t want you there. All shit the founding fathers couldn’t comprehend because going from one landmass to another was still a multi-month journey and not everyone would survive it.

          The government only loses when it kills so many of us we can’t make it enough money to put gas in the F-35 raptors.

            Eww so close to understanding… because yes that totally wouldn’t happen here at all lol

            Lol you are braindead if you think the military is going to side one way or another. We did lose all 3 of those wars and those people we were killing didn’t look or speak like us. Also those hicks are the majority of the military…lol

            You are giga fucked in the head if you think for even a solitary second domestic martial law with the combined force of all military branches is anywhere near as difficult as shipping that same hardware halfway around the world to places that don’t want you there.

            Lol ok buddy you keep thinking that. Remember your home is free game when they start bombing your neighborhood to kill a few of those hicks.

            The government only loses when it kills so many of us we can’t make it enough money to put gas in the F-35 raptors.

            The second a f-35 starts killing us citizens is when it can’t be refueled. You clearly do not understand how bad a civil war would be…

              “You’re braindead if you think the military would pick one way or the other.”

              “[…] to protect against all enemies foreign and domestic.” They’re not American citizens, they’re terrorists. Insurgents. You clearly have no fucking idea how the game is played, dipshit. The military sides with the military.

              Your entire fucking reason for why the government can’t erase your dumb ass is that" they’re American citizens!!" like that has ever stopped them in any situation, ever. Actual fucking retard.

                Lol you must be like 15 or something because you clearly do not understand how our military works, nor do you understand who runs it. Hint… it’s not the people like you who hate guns and want to get rid of the 2nd amendment. The military is siding with those so called hicks.

                  Lol there’s this cute thing called boot camp every branch goes through. It knocks out 80% of your identity and if you were ever in the military you’d know you’re not allowed to have political opinions and damn sure not allowed to voice them. You are a tool. An instrument of the government. The military is not siding with you dumb fucking rednecks cosplaying as militia. You will get steamrolled like the domestic terrorists you are.

                  PLEASE go test out how effective that second amendment is. Go into any US fort, armed, and see how far you get. I’m begging.

                    Lol you’re a fucking idiot. First I’m far left, but not a dipshit who thinks the 2nd should be abolished and only the gov. Have force multipliers… second I don’t think you understand how people work, because their are absolutely tons of people in the military that hold political opinions.

                    At this point I feel like I’m arguing with some basement dwelling armchair warrior…and you’re boring me. Go touch some grass kid.

        You mean a meme community doesn’t like humorlessness in the comments? Color me surprised.

          memes can prompt a variety of reactions. acting like this is your safe space for only happy thoughts is pretty infantile.
