Well, maybe this will finally make us confront our crazy ass gun laws, but probably not.
Guy brandishes a rifle at a protest in an open carry state, a member of the public thats acting as a ‘safety volunteer’ shoots 3 times at him thinking he intends to fire on the crowd, and the only one who dies is an innocent protester.
Straight out of Futurama:
“Did many people drive in new York city, Fry?”
“No way! There was too much traffic!”
Most of the people that talked up the 2nd amendment and that bought a bunch of guns are cheering on what’s happening, so they won’t fight against it. They’re not phonys they’re part of the dictatorship. It seems they like when other people get hurt, as long as its not them.
They just don’t know history enough to realize, eventually it will be them. Just give it time. The only people that are truly safe from a dictorship are the dictator. Even his inner circle, a dictator will turn on a dime if they perceive disloyalty, or fear being usurped, or you disappointed them by doing a bad job, etc. Literally no one is safe but the dictator, that’s generally why everyone is scared shitless all the time during times of dictatorship. No one is safe.
It gets even worse, look up the ‘pull up the ladder after I got here’ actions they took since the 70’s in the USA. Back in the late 70’s you could contribute up to 25% of your salary up to $30,000 a year. Do you know how much $30,000 a hear in the 70’s is today? $148,000 you should be able to contribute to your 410K if we lived in a fair world.
