The last thing we want to do is mobilize the gun Community. The 2nd Amendment is ony when the 1st Amendment has failed.

So far the 1st is looking strong. I'm so far left that I own many weapons. I also know that we don't want to give the few psychotic military commanders like this a reason to shoot protesters.

Socialists should all have arms and know how and when to use them. Liberals have constantly pushed people on the left to disarm themselves and made claims that only the right have arms. Very few people on the left will tell liberals they own firearms because they have been told to fear the gun instead of the person wielding the firearm.

I hope we never have to fight a protracted guerrilla war in America. We aren't close to that yet, and I pray I never need to use my arms to protect my family and community. That's where gun owners are.

We are only needed when the military fully takes up arms against the population.

LibreOffice has free editing of .pdf files in writer. So glad I switched to Linux last year. Games are pretty seamless too.

I use mint and only had one game so far with a problem. The game was 20 years old and couldn't scale to an ultrawide monitor.

So far most things just work. Except the locked streaming services that force anti-Linux. For that I just sail the high seas.

I have just 125 hours played in Fallout 3, vs. 1600 hours of Fallout New Vegas. The story in 3 isn't nearly as timeless as New Vegas.

Minorities can still be racist. It's not just white people who are racists.

The labor movement was a very bloody fight. Blair mountain, and Triangle Shirtwaist was a lot of death.

There were bombings during the Civil rights era, it wasn't just sit-ins. Lots of people died due to lunching.

Also anything during the 30's was filled with bodies due to the Geat Depression and fights like the Battle of Central Park.

Only when the President had enough bad blood did they decide to push changes against their own interests. No US political changes came without bloodshed.

I have plenty of guns and ammo to use for the defense of myself and family. As a disabled vet I can barely feed my family, let alone March alone from Colorado to overthrow the President.

When they come to me, then I can fight. I can't afford to join a secessionist movement because we still have a group of people that still are supposed to fight using the law and wors before the guns come out. The 1st Ammendment is 1st for a reason. The 2nd is the last resort which most sane gun owners don't want to have to use.

There's supposed to be an opposition party to fight the executive encroachment.

Most people forget under the armpits. That was always a better option historically over the neck. Usually necks are protected by gorgets, but the armpit has to be flexible.

Can't cover the armpits with solid armor like chests and necks.

My stepmother was that way so I couldn't stand broccoli growing up. Most vegetables were blan and tasteless without salt and boiled.

I rarely buy them now because I can't physically handle cooking every day now. So most vegetables go bad in the fridge.

They didn't vote for Trump, they didn't vote for Harris. Trump didn't gain the voters, Harris lost millions of voters.

Democrats weren't going to vote for the Candidate who had no primary, was decided upon race/sexist promotion, and was unable to show definitive reasons why she would be ifferent than Biden.

Biden didn't win the last primary because of his personal votes, he won because all of the other candidates gave him their Primary votes after Super Tuesday to stop Bernie from being the nominee again.

The DNC was not supported this time because the Democrat voters were against the coronation of Kamala, but did vote down-ballot the Democrats. Voting wasn't a zero-sum choice, many people like me, didn't vote for a president because the DNC was being fascist about the candidate.

The DNC is no longer the party of the worker, it's the party of the bosses and bankers, with the Hollywood shills paid to support their Candidate. The people aren't owed their votes, the same way companies aren't owed a purchase when they make a product that customers don't want. We can't have a marketplace of ideas if the DNC blocks all other ideas.

The 2A solution is when there's no hope of peace. You really don't want them to remove the last option.

The 1st is so people can talk and work through differences. When he only thing left is to use the 2nd, nothing will put the Republic back together the same way.

If Congress, Supreme Court, or the Executive find a way to close the 2nd Amendment down. Then there's no way for the people to fight against complete Tyranny when the time comes.

Home-grown insurgencies nearly always win. The US has never been able to win against them, just like Israel can't win against Palestine. Insurgencies can only be negotiated with and always stop once freedom or rights are acknowledged.

Finally I have something to post.

I tried to capture both ducks upside down eating. Found this funny.
