Ever learn about “the shot heard around the world”?

The country was literally born from a rebellion that reached a violent tipping point when the monarchy tried to confiscate/destroy munitions.

as depicted

The “depiction” you refer to is a caricature. While I’m certain there are people like this out there, this is not what the majority of firearms owners are actually like.

This describes the overwhelming majority of firearms owners I’ve interacted with, including some with sizable collections and even a police officer on the SWAT team.

The Heller decision would like a word with you

If you’re a good firearm owner, your firearms are secured from unauthorized access. Plenty of ways to achieve that while keeping them readily accessible to the intended user for home defense, especially without children, housemates, or houseguests.

He said he loaded his handgun, went back to the windows and saw the people “thrusting” at the door […]

He fired one shot toward the door […]

When told he had killed Rios, he put his head down on the table and said he didn’t mean for anything to happen to anybody.

The fuck did he think was going to happen when he shot at a door with people on the other side?

Stopped using Facebook over 10 years ago, but I’ve been back lately to check marketplace listings for a few items I’m hunting for.

Every now and then, I’ll autopilot into scrolling the main feed.

Within 60 seconds, there will be some suggested content of AI generated bait.

I’ve also had older family members sending “shocking” generated videos they came across on Facebook / Instagram, believing them to be real.

Not a liberal 🙃

Not chronically online with this account either

You might want to consider alternative interpretations of things people write / say before jumping to conclusions and filling in the blanks from your imagination.
