    All these years we’ve been told that the reason it’s necessary to let innocent children die in mass shootings is just in case the need to overthrow a tyrannical government arises. Guess they died for nothing

      The right never fucking meant it. They wanted the stockpiles as a way of virtue signaling to each other and a way of signaling to out-groups (POC, liberals, uppity women, LGBTQ+) the not-so-veiled threat of that stockpile.

      Also, they wanted that stockpile so that when some shitty fascist government - like this one - gives them the go-ahead to join up with death squads, that’s they already have the arsenal for it.

      All that freedom and liberty mumbo-jumbo - just so much bullshit.
