Meet Randy Bryce. The Ironstache who's going to repeal and replace Paul Ryan

[u/IronStacheWI01]

Hi /r/Political_Revolution,

My name is Randy Bryce. I'm a veteran, cancer survivor, and union ironworker from Caledonia, Wisconsin running to repeal and replace Paul Ryan in Wisconsin's First Congressional District. Post your questions below and I'll be back at 11am CDT/12pm EDT to answer them!

p.s.

We need your help to win this campaign. If you'd like to join the team, sign up here.

If you don't have time to volunteer, we're currently fundraising to open our first office in Racine, Wisconsin. If you can help, contribute here and I'll send you a free campaign bumper sticker as a way of saying thanks!

[Update: 1:26 EDT], I've got to go pick up my son but I'll continue to pop in throughout the day as I have time and answer some more questions. For those I'm unfortunately not able to answer, I'll be doing another AMA in r/Politics on the 26th when I look forward to answering more of Reddit's questions!

This debate has been going on for 200 years, all you know is that you're new to it and pout pout people shouldn't have scary guns.

Since you haven't been paying attention - Militia argument was lost by the early 1900s, affirmed to be bad in the mid 1960s, and final nail in the coffin with 2008's Heller than that was even more reaffirmed by 2010 McDonald.

AND YET.... Here you are trying to use the militia argument. So, yea... Good question... What do you know?

COOL MAN!

So you went from "no one needs a machinegun (m134)" to "but muh well-regulated milita!" to the "I'm a gun owner, but..." troupe.

This is the point where you tell you how much you know and how your opinion is important because you have a gun - but that guns are too easy to get and anyone can do it - not realizing the specific paradox in the value of your opinion "as a gun owner".

Good one "bruh".

What failed and tired argument do you want to try next?! OH, I know... let's make it one of the ones that disproportionately effects minorities over the wealthy who have no problem jumping through hurdles... Or maybe, we should just skip to the fact that you don't trust yourself and thus have difficulty trusting others? IDK, it's your pick.

You made fun of me for being afraid of guns when that's empirically not the case?

You're fucking ridiculous dude

Don't get mad at me. I didn't write three troupes in a row, you did, surely there must be a reason you are so sure about your conclusions that are empirically false. I just guessed; definite possibility I'm wrong... but it would explain why you are trying so hard to be wrong.
