Why do gun owners pretend they're "protecting freedom"? I get shooting at the range for fun but to claim they're for some higher purpose is just absolutely laughable!

because they are different people. they do different things.
Why do doctors pretend they're "saving lives"? I own a box of band-aids but to claim they're for some higher purpose is just absolutely laughable!

It's a dumb argument that they fall back on. Gun owners in America are just a collection of individuals with no practical combat training and they never do anything when the gubmint actually has infringed on their freedoms.
No one did anything about the Japanese Americans being moved to internment camps.
No one did anything to protect the black population from years of harassment and murder from the KKK or institutional racism.
No one did anything when the NSA spying was revealed by Snowden.
No one did anything when Obama gave the Wall Street executives free passes.
NO ONE DOES ANYTHING ABOUT THE POLICE AND THEIR DAILY ABUSE OF POWER.
Half of this country voted for a fascist.
It's all a fucking farce, but I still enjoy shooting and respect the 2nd Amendment.

>Be it enacted by the Senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the militia shall consist of every able-bodied male citizen of the respective States, Territories, and the District of Columbia, and every able-bodied male of foreign birth who has declared his intention to become a citizen, who is more than eighteen and less than forty-five years of age, and shall be divided into two classes-the organized militia, to be known as the National Guard of the State, Territory, or District of Columbia, or by such other designations as may be given them by the laws of the respective States or Territories, and the remainder to be known as the Reserve Militia.

heh
i swear once people try(they will) to defy the second its going to be a fucking mess. why are these fuckers so obsessed with having only the criminal government and authorities armed?
How you like that Government cock, OP?
Because the countries without shitloads of gun owners everywhere are arresting their own citizens for posting that a migrant raped their daughter on Facebook.
Sounds like a pretty good reason to keep our guns to me.

But legit asking: what *should* people have done in these situations? Pulled a JFK on Ben Bernanke or Obama? Planted bombs in the cars of Wall Street execs? Reenacted Timothy McVeigh on more IRS buildings with a threat to continue them until a list of demands were met? Gunned down cops who go to carry out confiscation orders?
How would anyone get away with any of these things, and survive the ensuing manhunt for more than a few hours max?

You know what they say, OP. God made man, but you made yourself a fag.
Guns are a fetish object that channel energy away from attaining real political power and convert it into profits for weapons manufacturers. At this point in time and into the near future there are hundreds of causes better fought for without violence (actually almost all of them regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum). If shit has been fucked so hard that militia groups enjoy the support of enough normies to mount any meaningful violent resistance, we've all lost big - just picking up the scraps from there. It couldnt be called success for any side.
Take a look at countries that have totally disarmed their populaces.

>I dobn't think you know what you are talking about. It's not the higher purpose holier than thou statement you are making it out to be, but something really simple. People just want to be left the fuck alone with their guns or whatever and want to protect their ability to do so.

>Why do gun owners pretend they're "protecting freedom"?
Because without exercise, atrophy sets in. Exercising your 2A rights IS protecting those rights. Read a book before making stupid thread pls.
limitedly
Better to fight for without violence? Of course. A non-violent solution is always better. Possible to fight for without violence? That's where your argument falls apart. When discourse breaks down, the only recourse is conflict, and if that conflict threatens your life or liberty, you had best be prepared to fight back.
ohsshiiiiiii
The other option is to move to a looser conception of the United States where the federal government has less power - to which degree is up to how deep the differences run. We need only revert back to a previous understanding of state vs federal power. I'd much prefer that to being forced to pick up my gun and be curb stomped by law enforcement/national guard as neighbors turn on neighbors and we are balkanized by fire. I want to live my full life and I have family and friends I dont want to see hurt - that's all really. And yes, if that's threatened I have defensive arms.
But mostly Im here because of a mysterious affinity for weapons and pew pew stuff since I was a kid.
This. I just care about the latest fashions trends so I can fit in and the next iPhone® release.
> why do people do things I don’t understand when I don’t feel the need to do them.
Fixed that for ya.
BEGONE THOT
Not wrong, but the Not MEism in America has always been strong.
That said, attacking the 2nd is an attack on all of our basic rights. It should concern everyone.

The federal government simply will not be rolled back, not peacefully, at this point.
There's too much money and power to be gained by a politician at the federal level now for them to give that up.
Progressives have also made it a large part of their party platform to have a strong federal government and to move that up the ladder to multinational unions like the EU.
Their excuse for wanting such unions and ultimately one global political system is global warming.
The progressive is willing to throw away any and all individual liberty in the name of perceived safety, and to them sovereignty is a threat to their safety utopia.
I dont agree but certainly wont shoot you over it.
Well that's nice as I don't enjoy being shot.
I'm bored though, would you care to elaborate what you disagree with?
either that or FUD
GOD GUIDE MY BULLETS
fuck
Im too tired to pursue this with any depth and need to wagecuck in the morning. But sure
>The federal government simply will not be rolled back, not peacefully, at this point.
You are probably right as long as some black swan event doesn't occur. But its not absolutely impossible - a groundswell of forceful popular demand for such rollbacks in many states, with corresponding elections of leaders at multiple levels could turn the tide.

>Their excuse for wanting such unions and ultimately one global political system is global warming.
The main point of our disagreement here - is that I think many of our most serious problems can't be dealt with without effective leadership at the federal level. To be transparent with you - I'm a liberal on most issues - hence I see widening economic disparities, environmental preservation, and corporate greed as fundamental problems that will be difficult to address purely at a local level. And I disagree that global warming is just an excuse (though considering how psychopathic those who desire power are I dont doubt many of them only pledge when they see direct benefits to be gained). I'm on board with the understanding that government is a sort of "evil" ripe for abuse, even if I consider it widely necessary - many liberals skirt around this idea and are uncomfortable to state it directly - but they will inadvertently acknowledge it when complaining about state capture by corporate interests, NSA etc.
>The progressive is willing to throw away any and all individual liberty in the name of perceived safety, and to them sovereignty is a threat to their safety utopia.
I'm not. But I speak only for myself.

fuck off sharekike faggot
They're trying to justify their expensive toys while not doing anything against government tyranny at all. It's like they think the 2nd amendment only exists to protect the 2nd amendment.
imagine being upset that people own guns
I'm upset they claim they're hoarding guns to keep the government from becoming a dictatorship but they did nothing about all the shit that went down after 9/11 because war on terror means basic rights have to go.
Scotus kavanaugh struck down the ss militia provision in the US making the argument useless.
Militias are and remain, the national guard
what the fuck are you even talking about? the patroit act?
WRONG
Patriot act, mass surveilance, unpunished police brutality. The police coming for your guns would be a horrible injustice but the police gunning down unarmed people for no reason is nothing to worry about, that dead asshole probably had it coming.
lol are you upset about some tyrone getting shot?
None of that matters because there's no mass support for a revolution. The average normalfag doesn't care if the government has security cameras up their assholes as long as they can still watch football and drown themselves in beer after work. Things are gonna have to be really REALLY bad before the average white person gives a shit.
Like everyone who elected this gun grabber?
why do nogunz ppl (or people that have very little interest in the board/guns) come and break the board rules and post stupid shit?
I dunno, find your way back to Jow Forums.
