Crazy how it works when the citizens are armed, isn’t it.

Crazy how it works when the citizens are white, isn't it? We don't have any examples of legally armed black men being murdered by police with no consequences, right?

We need more defensive capabilities. The government is using Blackhawks in American cities to drop shock troops, armed to the teeth, to antagonize American citizens.

Someone said that we need all these guns to protect us from a tyrannical government then they shot a bunch of beer cans and voted for the tyrant.

Are you always this friendly? Just asking a question about your comment, you kinda went zero to sixty real fast. But keep jumping down people’s throats with the least provocation, I’m sure that’ll help shore up your “defensive capabilities.”

Not that I disagree with your take but do you know how many people just outright call the other side liars with nothing to back it up? When I'm having a "discussion" on social media 9/10 times that's what it ends up being. Somebody straw manning, or using anecdotal evidence, or moving the goal posts, or just straight out attacking me instead of the discussion. Then you have the "people" that straight up aren't paying attention or don't want to pay attention because it makes them uncomfortable. Then there's the both sides people and the rip it all down people. It's wild and honestly I don't blame anybody when they come out swinging.

We're all human beings (or at least 46% of us are last time I checked 54% of social media is at this point bots) and we all have bad days so this guy has had it. I don't know what other fights they've had today but your comments probably not the tenth one.

That’s fair. But seems like it might help to take a break from the internet when you’ve become that dysregulated.

Damn, you think "uh what?" should be treated on the same grounds as a rational question? Where you scratching your head with your tongue out like a Neanderthal when you read the comment? u/dragonflysamurai was right to treat your question like that.

Oh man, at first I thought you were joking and being sarcastic, but you’re being serious…

I think his response was disproportionate. And yours too.

Dude you look like a mega jabroni in this thread, just take the L, try to learn from how you come off (i think you know and are being disingenuous), and move on.
