  • They were so happy they got to screw over everyone they disagreed with. They considered themselves apart, separate, better, than those they disagreed with. They were the Real America™, the rest of us weren’t part of that. They completely overlooked the fact that, for now at least, we are all still Americans, living in the same country, under the same economy, and the same rules. So they suffer the consequences of their hubris and myopic exceptionalism.







  • Their only interpretation of the 2nd is “the constitution says I get to have an arsenal and nobody can do anything about it.”

    If you get a “smart one” they start spouting off supreme court and other rulings that went in their favor, and if faced with the argument that the Founding Fathers could not and would not ever have conceived of millions of guns in private hands with people having arsenals of weapons capable of modern day destruction - and especially if the Founders had been faced with school, workplace, or other random massacres - they would not have so vaguely worded the 2nd Amendment. Then they just say “well the constitution says I can, so eat it.”

    They’re perfectly happy to let society pay for their hobby.
