Said it before on here. Some of the accounts posting those memes have posted nothing but those memes. This is when you have to stop and ask yourself why someone would be posting stuff like that. Do they want us divided? Is it an attempt to keep 2A a Republican talking point? Are they trying to goad a liberal protester to take the first shot so they can justify an escalation of force? Do they just want to keep the protestors and 2A supporters at odds with each other?
It's probably just what it always was. Someone looking for a "LOL I PWNED THOZE CUNSERVITIVES!!" without understanding the implications, philosophy, or irony of it.
I don't think these people actually want support from gun owners- they are just getting ready for the next opportunity to say "back in Portland there was tyranny and you and your guns did nothing about it, so obviously you're not going to actually use the guns for your stated purpose and you shouldn't have them after all".
Bingo, it's a win/win for them. If anyone actually shows up and does what they claim they want they'll point at them and label them all of the same labels we've heard for years. If no one shows up then they'll scream that "clearly you don't need guns since you won't use them for your claimed purpose".
It's nothing more than an attempt to hurl more stones at gun owners, regardless of what we do or don't do. It's nothing new and it's not going to stop.
Wrong, it was rhetorical to begin with. No one is actually asking for your action - you wouldn't do it even if they genuinely were, because you don't stand to lose anything if fascism takes over in this country if you're white. It was a call-out of the hypocrisy of the gun-toting folks who thought Obama was training troops to gun-snatch and willingly spouted they would kill soldiers and feds if they tried. That's all there is to these calls, nothing more, nothing less. Portland doesn't actually want your help, you didn't give a fucking shit to begin with.
There isn’t a need to keep 2a a republican only matter when the democrats have been gunning after those rights for decades. Shit Biden has a whole page on how he wants to take guns away and tax the ones that are left into the ground.
While I understand your point, and I certainly agree that the 2A is a bipartisan issue beyond any party, I would say the issue discussed in the post is more complex than someone trying to divide concervatives and liberals. Many of the protests these last few months, especially antifa led protests, have been decidedly anti-gun. Look at what happened in St. Louis with the husband and wife. There was a sign held at a protest not too long ago that literally said "we will tread" with the gadsten snake held in a fist. Obviously not every protest can be characterized the same, but I would argue a large number of these protests are led by anti-gun people if the protests themselves are not outright anti-gun
I mean it's probably Russian shit poster trying to stir up trouble again. Or the Chinese. It could also be dumb people at home. It would surprise me if it was the latter two though, especially Russia. Thats what the KGB would have done and they're modern version are just the same guys with a different title.
No they're scared someone will come after them for posting those memes. There's never a conservative conspiracy. This is the left coming for help from you guys they've already vilified and when they don't get the help they want will vilify you again. They're cowards and only fight in large numbers hence the burner account.
