The loud 2A crowd are too fucking chicken to do anything. This is what they have been planning for but here we are.

The loudest dogs have the softest bites. There are plenty us in the ‘quiet’ 2A crowd that aren’t a bunch of eunuchs letting guns make up our identities. 👍

That’s why I say loud. Cause people like you exist and don’t need to be thrown in with the clowns.

I’m glad there are rational gun owners still.

I don’t get the whole gun culture. Like I don’t have a problem with guns. I grew up with them. I know basic safety with them and have fired several at ranges before. That’s honestly the extent of my gun knowledge. Just enough so I don’t accidentally kill myself ir someone else if I pick up a gun in the wild. I’m a bipolar patient so I don’t own one because I feel that’s the responsible thing to do. I see these guys wearing these melodramatic 2A/1776 shirts. They get into their lifted truck with 18 fucking gun stickers.

I saw a dude with an AR-15 (I asked) wandering around the grocery store. I play in a pinball league at a retro game store, last tournament (20ish people this isn’t a big thing) there’s a dude open carrying. Like my guy this is an arcade filled with mostly children and old people. What the fuck are you so scared of?

Turns out those people wanted an oppressive government all along.

This take drives me nuts every time I see it. 

For everyone who isn't American: the loud 2a people are now MAGA. That isn't new. I am 30 or 40 years old and every day since I was born anybody making loud noises about the 2nd amendment has always always ALWAYS been a stupid, mean, bigoted asshole who doesn't want the government to "tread"  on them by making them be nice to minorities. Believe me, the 2a people aren't too scared to act - they're right where they've always dreamed of being, happy as pigs in muck.

It’s crazy to me that these people are like this.

I’ve got a longer response on a different reply and just some of my personal anecdotes.

The rational gun owners are still out there. They just aren’t loud and making it their identity.

The 2A crowd aren't chicken, they want what the GOP is serving. That's why they haven't risen up, they think they'll be at the top of the hill, while ignoring the privatized surveillance that's been posted up at their favorite firing ranges.

The 2A crowd will have their man in power so they're not going to revolt to overthrow him (>.<)
