Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Well this confirms we’re absolutely fucked in the legal aspect of all this… when do we all arm up and fill the streets?
we've been arming up for decades but filling the streets in my small town is not the most useful of activities. So I guess we.. fly somewhere?
Are you already exercising your 2A? If you aren’t, yesterday was the time to make that happen.
Edit: also, if you go with a handgun, look into your State Concealed Carry laws and go ahead and get that, too. (I just double checked mine, and it’s expired. You better believe I’ll resubmit when I’m in the area, again. Funny thing is, I mostly use my card* to scrape ice off my windshield these days, I suppose that’s about to change too.)
You do have to give them your fingerprints if you get a concealed carry license (in the states I'm familiar with at least). That may not be the best plan if your intent is to protect yourself from a tyrannical government. I'm not saying it's a bad idea just something to consider before you pull the trigger, metaphorically speaking of course.
Hell yeah I am. Kinda got a mini arsenal in my basement now lol got some to share when the time comes
Get it, friend. Idk about everyone else, but the right has monopolized Open Carry for far too long. We need the days of the Blank Panthers standing up and exercising their 2A again. Gun toting liberals exercising their right to peacefully march while armed, showing they’re not about to be bullied.
Remember when conservatives openly took over gov’t buildings, and other conservatives planned to abduct a sitting governor? Yeah, that’s fucking wild. The taking over the gov’t buildings part didn’t see any legal reprimand, if I remember correctly. WTF aren’t progressives or liberals, democrats at least walking the streets and protecting citizens and legal immigrants from gov’t overreach?
Yeah load up on guns but also cans and water.
