My best buddy is hard core 2A, not full right wing but he tows the line. He's literally been preparing for this exact scenario the past 15 years of his life. When I ask him about this he says "there's two sides to every story" then he spits out the same drivel they all spew. I told him the problem is that he and the rest of the 2A folks are just as afraid as the rest of us. They just don't want to admit it. Probably more afraid, because I haven't been building a small arsenal the past few years. All those guns, ammo, and fancy gear for what? It's fucking cosplay. A nerdy hobby. Like model trains but these 2A cunts all act like a tough guy that'll lay down the law if push comes to shove. Well we are being shoved. What now? At least take the guns to a protest so they can get some fresh air. Are these 2A folks afraid their guns might get dirty or something?

Train enthusiasts are more courageous cause if they get into a fight, they'd use large metal hand tools; 2A cosplayers would stand around talking about how big calibre weapon they got.
