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!

It really does, as lumping in 2A with the rest of it, or suggesting 'gun nuts' are right-wing in general, or that there isn't an incredibly large portion of the 'gun nut' community that is fully anti trump and has multiple armed anti-trump rallies speaks to your biases and beliefs. Those with 'anti-gun' or other extremist beliefs tend to ignore all information and news that goes against their belief. Pretending it is the right or republican voters that are the most '2A don't tread on me gun nuts' is denying the entirety of the existence of the left. I'll admit there are few people openly left wing the in the united states since they started being literally hunted down and killed by the government starting in the 1880s, but they're there, and they're why dems keep losing when they introduce far-right policies like removing guns from a populace.
You're either ignorant of reality, or you simply choose to believe an alternative reality that you've been brainwashed to believe. In either case the result of your comment would be Trump being the only one armed, which is antithetical to your own life, as well as the lives over ~95% of the US population.
Gun control cannot exist under liberal western democracy, much less during its inevitable decay into fascism. Period. It's not a thing the population can allow, as liberal western democracy, which has so far only resulted in fascism, is far too unstable to allow that vulnerability.
If the 2A was actually as dangerous as liberal propaganda suggests, there wouldn't be concentration camps in the US.
It doesn't.
