That's good, but I think it's more like...
2A Warrior: We need guns to prevent federal government overreach.
Normal Guy: Okay, uh, good luck with that. I'm sure you'll win against the US military.
2A Warrior: Heh I've heard that one before, but it's really the deep state -- a phrase I heard roughly 60 months ago -- that I have a lifelong beef with. By the way, my aversion to the federal government -- in particular the FBI -- has nothing at all to do with my affiliation with extremely conservative patriarchal forms of Christianity, or my constant cheerleading for the sleaziest grifter on earth's plan to rip immigrant children from their parents and funnel them into a labyrinthine fundie-run foster care system, or the fact that I can't shut up about children's genitals and reflexively accuse all my enemies of being child predators, and I inject this fixation into every 'culture war' conversation I ever have but also it's bleeding into every interaction I have just in general, and by the way please don't bring up that the very obvious conservative MO is projection. You shouldn't consider any of that, separately or together, in analyzing my pathological need to build an arsenal to protect myself, I mean everybody's Constitutional rights, from big government.
Normal Guy: *Halfway down the street already and still accelerating*
@ worry: 2A fanboy: more like I need my guns to protect myself they want to kill me , my family , my way of being. Have you heard they want to steal my personal property I paid for, keeps me safe. See how downtowns are just falling apart ? Seen how society just keeps getting worse. Have you seen any good improvements..
Random other owner: oh yeah I’ve armed up , planted a garden and skills. Have you seen they have destroyed 20% of energy generation permanently with multiple years of growth incoming? , have you seen how low interested rates destroyed housing again, did you see how the government helps level so many fees to make housing double in price and if you don’t build expensive houses for more tax income not gonna permit that. Have you seen the multi year interest rates that drown us.. what good have they done
Random gunboy: yeah I too am ready for the rolling blackouts that could potentially come with these current policies did you see they took out all the backup power generation , just bulldozed it. And of course an agricultural collapse could just occur due to the way food is overharvestd from corporate interests, that were paid for by government subsidies to bankrupt local farmers these last couple of decades. Ya they just pay to let food rot ..
Gun fanboy: I’m ready to protect mine for when they come for food. See Argentina collapse ? They said there’s quite a bit of people buried in the ground since they couldn’t defend themselves.… people have guns to be prepared for when the government keeps messing up and kicking the can of irresponsible decisions .. well one too many kicks boooooom society.
Concerned warrior gun fanboy: Most of society is sleepwalking.. but the long collapse is in motion.The biggest conspiracy tinfoil hat : is it’s all going to be alright alright alright /smokes weed /alcohol etc etc
( I think this is a good venue to really talk about gun culture .. most gun owners want to protect there family.. from the what may seem impossible right around the corner.. that happens very often in history)
