    Isn’t this why the 2nd amendment was created, to prevent a tyrannical Govt.

    Let’s be honest, it’s always been a smoke screen to justify personal gun ownership but when it comes to it no-one will have the balls to take on the Govt.

      It’s more that, as it turns out, guns can’t protect you against Fox News and Facebook feeds.

      If Biden were president in this exact situation, there would be some guns out.

        Sorry to say this but if the population is so easily brainwashed then maybe they can’t be trusted with gun ownership.

          I hate the excuse “people are stupid.”

          That’s both a truism and misleading. We’ve always had monkey brains. The issue is that humans are psycologically vulnerable to technologically enhanced attention-grabbing feeds; regulating that is on business and government, and it has little to do with the education system or gun laws.

          Why are they so brainwashed though? Because the government doesn’t help with education? 🤷‍♂️ (Serious question.)

          A paintball filled with capsaicin or something similar. Technically many of the guns are sold purpose made as pepper ball launchers, but they are literally rebranded .68 cal paintball guns and compatible with commercial paintball gun parts.

          I see two in the photo. Along with what I presume is a 37mm break open launcher.

      Border patrol has enormous zones designated as border areas. Nearly two thirds of Americans live in that zone.

            If you added 100 mile circles around every international airport in the US, I’d wager that most of the USA’s landmass (minus Alaska) and more than 90% of the population would fall inside this fascist interpretation of “border”.
