The only gun control I need is an armed homeless population
Maybe we shouldn't try to advocate for restricting access to guns when we have a rising fascist threat.
We don't need another Beto O'Rourke. We need to win elections and defeat fascism.
Probably going to need a lot more than guns from Bass Pro Shop and Walmart if the fascists have the world’s largest military under their control. 
Try telling that to the Vietcong.
I like your energy but the Vietnamese used a dual conventional/unconventional warfare model.
Laughs in all of history
Thats why we shouldn't ban guns. Just in case of those scenarios.
I don't disagree about guns, but even saying "just in case" at this point is pretty ridiculous.
Not only can fascism never be voted away, even if it was somehow possible, we're about a decade or two past that point now.
Just frustrated that people still say stuff like that as if it was ever even an option.
If you think a gun will help against fascism you've watched to many movies. Whatever side the military is on is the side that wins
What's wrong with Beto?
This speech: https://youtu.be/QR4mNrW0AlE
Instead of saying "We need universal background checks" he said "Hell yes, we're going to take your guns"
In Texas, a state with a strong gun culture. 🤦♂️ He lost the gubernatorial election.
His chances weren't that great to begin with, that was one of the many speeches that solidified his defeat.
Why not focus your compaign on healthcare, minimum wage, workers rights, so many issues that appeals to everyone. Nope, he handed the election to a fascist.
Actually advocating for looser gun laws makes you the real fascist here
Bud I'm begging you to look up how the nazis treated guns.
I'll give you the simplified answer: ban guns for minorities, arm their supporters.
If you remember this, it explains how Democrats and Republicans are part of the same agenda on guns.
