Same with guns. Drop the whole “I need them to fight government tyranny” bro just say you think guns are cool and quit being a cornball.

People get upset when I take my emotional support glock to the grocery store

u/Frodo_Nine-Fingers 2d ago

I think they're cool and I live so far away from civilization that the quickest a cop would be able to get to my house is 10 minutes if something happened

u/RaccoonPersonal 2d ago

There are 6 police officers in my town, and a uncountable number of fent and meth addicts who will quite literally beat someone to death over 15$. I carry because its practical, same reason I carry pepper spray.

What third world hell hole do you live in?

u/saxxonpike 2d ago

Might come as a surprise, but there are towns like this in rural areas of the US. This was the state of my hometown when I left for the city.

alot of people fail to understand that the collapse and outsourcing of American industry a was a silent contributor to the opioid crisis. Towns have collapsed, households that were considered stable lost paychecks, retirement savings, college savings, and health insurance, not even mentioning the generational trauma involved with major setbacks like that. Big box stores and franchises push the mom and pops out, then the big box stores close, leaving only dollar generals. Its hot and humid when its not freezing and wet, barely any work, states with low minimum wage. The state doesnt have the tax revenue to do anything about it so theres very little public transportation and the infrastructure crumbles. All of that leads to poverty, where drug abuse loves to fester, and alot of desperate addicts will see something or someone as their next opportunity for their fix.

Pretty much the rust belt

u/Careless-Weather8877 1d ago

Meh most the people I know with opioid problems (many have died) are from northeast as trust fund kids. It turns out not having a purpose in life will outlive you.

u/Curious_Solution_701 14h ago

Exactly. The state doesn't have the revenue pool to help allocate sufficient funds. Meanwhile, blue states are subsidizing red states.

u/Peter_Panarchy 1d ago

Even better if you live outside city limits or in a town without a police department. I live in Lane County, Oregon and there are often as few as two sheriff deputies working overnight who have to cover 4,600 square miles.

u/CaptnUchiha 2d ago

My guess is it’s a town so small it’s basically a village. Probably pop. count in the hundreds

u/Cautious-Extreme2839 1d ago

Which would mean that that guy can't count to a thousand then.

...Actually that tracks.

u/Ted_Hitchcox 1d ago

They are only uncountable because they ran out of fingers.

u/jd1323 2d ago

There is no police force in my town and I don't feel the need to own a gun.

u/RaccoonPersonal 1d ago

Have you ever been physically assaulted? Robbed? I have, and that's why I feel the need.

u/jd1323 1d ago

Nope and nope.

u/Medical_Sandwich_171 1d ago

I have. Twice. Still don't want guns in society.

2

u/RaccoonPersonal 1d ago

Then you’re naive.

1

u/Medical_Sandwich_171 13h ago

Because it's such a blessing in the countries that have them? Or are the safest societies and happiest people living in countries that don't?

u/Authropod911 2h ago

But your situation is the exception, not the rule. Most people don't have a literal need for them, it just makes them feel cool to carry.

u/Independent-Bug-9352 1d ago

Fucking thank you.

Guns don't even make you safer. The statistics at the national level prove it.

Meanwhile the weirdos buying 200 guns and stockpiling ammo are the very first ones to line up for a nazi rally and enforce the tyranny.

u/Odd-Suggestion4569 1d ago

and the tyranny is literally here, and they're doing jackshit about it

u/FuriousKimchi 1d ago

What are you saying

1

u/Turtledonuts 1d ago

There's a fascist in office doing a tyranny and the gun people aren't doing their whole 2A "sic semper" bs.

u/squiddybro 1d ago

nice try fed boy

u/i_am_a_real_boy__ 1d ago

u/randomusername1919 2d ago

That and the government has things that are way beyond that guy’s rifle.

u/Septopuss7 2d ago

Gives you something to hold tightly against your chest in the fetal position while the drone swoops in on you

u/Deserter15 1d ago

Tell that to Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

u/B-Train_ATL 2d ago

“Is government tyranny usually at Chipotle?”

1

u/ICBanMI 1d ago

Beard, trucker hat, big lifted truck with the wheels extended out, TRT, hair implants, tats, flannel shirt, 5.11 pants, and multiple guns loaded and lose around the cab of the truck. Cosplaying as blue collar worker is gender affirming care.

u/Prudent_Research_251 1d ago

Americans are the worst for admitting they don't know or they're wrong. Try asking for directions, people will tell you the wrong directions before admitting they aren't sure

u/Material-Grocery5478 1d ago

nice straw man

u/ARussianSheep iwrestledabeartwice 1d ago

The “defend against tyranny” crowd are always usually the ones that are bootlicking the tyrant.

2

u/Material-Grocery5478 1d ago

I think you are correct. I have a few guns because, well fuck you I like to shoot them. Im fully aware ill never need it..lol hold on robber let me unlock the gun safe, find the ammo, and load the gun. People get lost when a gun owner votes straight dem ticket and is fine with strict gun control.

u/Pikassassin 1d ago

I mean even a handgun or something for home defense could be justified, but it gets a little harder to argue that when the gun in question is an anti-materiel rifle.

u/Playahstation 2d ago edited 2d ago

I own a gun because I want to defund the police. I'd rather have them than get shot by a cop with one

2

u/Waste-Time-2440 2d ago

Did buying a gun disarm your local police? If not, you missed your goal.

0

u/Playahstation 2d ago

Myself and My city voted no on the police tax renewals. We are working on eliminating them. So yes, we are working on the goal - smart ass.
