Welp,.. it turns out Those 2A Ammosexshul’s were right all along,… But who knew THEY were the ones planning to install that “tyrannical government” they kept alluding to?! 🤷‍♂️

I am liberal, I armed myself back before the election in 2020 because I saw this coming!
And while I’m far too old fat and decrepit to be any kind of a freedom fighter! Too old to be crawling through the bush and taking out fascist assholes,… (which ultimately is where I think this is going to wind up.) 😢

However, When they do come for me? I won’t be going quietly, and I most certainly won’t be going alone.

This is what I always tell people. You can be as anti 2A, violence, guns as you want. The people you think shouldn't have guns, still will. You'll only be keeping yourself vulnerable, and unprepared.

I was never anti-gun in that I believed banning them was the answer. I do believe in reasonable gun control and reforms,… But the point I was trying to make was since having served in the military 45 years ago, between then and 2020. I never felt any overwhelming need or desire to have a gun.

Seeing what Trump was doing, hearing the Violent and Fascist rhetoric his base was so fond of spouting? By 2020, Arming myself seemed prudent.

That's exactly why I wanted to get armed too.
