Why US liberals are now buying guns too

Gun ownership has traditionally been associated with the right wing in America but the election of Donald Trump has prompted some left-wingers to join gun clubs - and even start preparing for the collapse of society.

"I really didn't expect to be thinking about purchasing a gun. It was something that my father did and I rolled my eyes at him."

Clara, a 28-year-old nursing student, grew up in the Mid-West, where "the folks that had guns were seen as hicks" or were just "culturally different", she says.

But since the election of Donald Trump in November she has started going to a gun range for the first time and is shopping around for a semi-automatic pistol.

"It's been seeing the way that Trump's election has mobilised a lot of the far right and given them hope," she says, citing a rise in reports of hate crimes and neo-Nazi activity.

As a transgender woman, she does not fear for her personal safety in the Californian city where she now lives but she says she knows people in rural areas "who woke up and found a bunch of swastikas and words like 'faggot' and 'trannie' scrawled all over their building".

She foresees a wide-ranging struggle between the Trump administration and the left over issues such as immigration and racial politics....

Where is electric power generated? Blue counties, or red counties?

Where are water reservoirs located? Blue counties, or red counties?

Hmmmm ....

[Lurker]

I just did without a problem.

Too late, we bought them all...and the ammo too.

An intelligent liberal would have a weapon to defend against the parasite class they have helped breed. And the people who want to eliminate birth control from the same ghettos should not be allowed a weapon.

Leftie whackos really get angry when you care so little about them that you barely know they exist. That’s when they invent hate crime attacks. They are programmed to be victims. It drives them insane when they aren’t.

Clara lies!

People that have no gun are seen as kooks!

(and damned fools)

Easy to see why...they're convinced that we're about to see a return to “A Strange Fruit”,the stoning of homosexuals and the summary execution of everyone who's here illegally.

That was a lot more likely with the Muslim overlords the libs were inviting in.

[longfellow]

Many of them are becoming convinced that we as conservatives are now “empowered” by Trump to the point that we will feel free to “hunt them down” without fear of consequences.——Well my nipples are hard, anyone else?

She has the gender of a trans? Ford or Chev?

[truth_seeker]

So soon after this election, the entire media and left are referring to every Trump voter as “far right.”

[katana]

Culturally different ... yes, we are. Proud to be descended from Scots-Irish mountain folk (and Indian stock) who never went anywhere unarmed, nor psychologically unprepared (to paraphrase our new Secretary of Defense) to kill everyone we meet. Something for Clara to consider.

Articles like this shows you exactly why the Founders wanted an armed Christian populace.

We don’t go after people for their beliefs like boogie men in the night for a torch lite lynch mob.

But Leftists and their allies...

You better believe it.

Actually more likely is “Clara” is a figment manufactured by Brian Wheeler at the BBC to create a fake gloss of credibility to his absurd fake news story.

*ding! ding! ding!*



Yes. By all means, bring on the hordes of LIbEralS with weapons. But hey, buy decent weapons Libs. I don't want to waste time sorting through useless junk to pick off of your shattered dead corpses.

Better yet, just bring lots of .45 and 5.56 and drop it and run away. You'll live longer.

Sorta.

she knows people in rural areas “who woke up and found a bunch of swastikas and words like ‘faggot’ and ‘trannie’ scrawled all over their building”.

So what were the words they used? She said they used words like faggot and trannie. What words are like those?

[Roman_War_Criminal]

We all need to be wise and learn to act like the 40%.

Being the grey man in a fight always has its advantages.

Clara, a 28-year-old nursing student, grew up in the Mid-West, where "the folks that had guns were seen as hicks" or were just "culturally different" by small-minded emotionally stunted people.

What good can a pistol do against a sniper rifle?

A rather long but very interesting article that will ‘answer’ your question.
(I did NOT read this entire version) but it is based on the one I know that kind of followed what the French, Italian, Polish etc Partisans did in WWII.

Article is from a web page called ‘IT WILL PASS’ and written by Mike Vanderboegh

Great, enjoy the guns. We’ll also give you tax cuts, better health insurance and...eventually you will be just like us
