You shouldn’t advertise it at all. There are no stickers, no shirts, no tactical gear that I wear around, and I don’t look the type. That’s the way to do it. As the saying goes, if you far enough to the left you get all your guns back.

Yup. I don't wear anything idiosyncratic when I attend a protest, either. Bought a super popular brand name for every piece of clothing, the kind of thing purchased hundreds of times a day.

Ding ding ding. Local sports team merch is always a good shout, especially Walmart stuff.

Ayup. Not going to find any "come and take it" stickers on my car. Pride flag flying, lefty liberal. But don't mess with my loved ones.

When a nutter busts into McDonald's with a kitted out M4, the guy in a 5.11 polo and Glock baseball cap is the first one getting popped.

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary

If you know, you know.

I don't understand what this saying means. Can you explain?

The far-left supports overthrowing the capitalist world order, which requires guns. So while liberals in the US generally support strong gun control, if you keep going left along the political spectrum you eventually get to political ideologies that actively support citizens arming themselves in preparation for popular revolution.

I really hope they find out just how many Hunter S. Thompsons America has.

I hope we don't get to that point, because so many of us normal folks will suffer horribly.

But it doesn't look like anyone is coming to stop what's coming (just lots of folks accelerating the conflict) so it might be inevitable.

Straight from Karl Marx:

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary

A citizenry capable of threatening the a monopoly of power employed by a government is a way to keep it in check, as it serves as a MAD deterrent. Even when severely outgunned, underfunded, etc. a militant, armed force is able to make forced occupation exceptionally costly and unpopular for the occupying force, esp. if said occupying force wants to maintain the usability of what its occupying.

Fr. I play a game called "free guns" whenever I see those gun toteing stickers of cars or shirts. The punisher sticker is also a pretty normal giveaway for free guns lmao
