    Most people left-of-center in the US are too afraid to touch a gun. Meanwhile the far-right collect guns like trophies.

    Guns mean nothing if the “good guys” continue having their fantasy of non-violence.

    Edit: And while there might be individuals left-of-center who do have guns, it doesn’t acomplish anything unless we have a lot of them also collectively take up arms to defend against tyranny, as in an organized militia.

    There are currently more right-wing militias than any left-wing ones.

      Most people left-of-center in the US are too afraid to touch a gun.

      The number of left of center people in the gun license course I took last year indicate that that may be changing.

        Even with increasing gun control in Canada many Canadians are wanting to get armed. Also many Canadians disagree with thr brazen and sweeping bans on so many rifles.

          And many Canadians are still for the ban and against civilians arming themselves. We are not the US, we are one of the safest place on earth. If people want to defend the country against outside threat then they should join the army where they’ll have a bigger impact.
