      “I think we should run into the cannon’s mouth and choke the enemy with our dead.”

      “That sounds like an awful plan.”

      “So what’s your plan, just give in??”

        I didn’t say that. I’m just a passerby reading your conversation and noticing that you haven’t put any ideas forward. So… what should be done?

          I’m just a passerby reading your comment.

          You’re obviously following the issue.

          What’s your plan?

            To keep living in Canada and keep my gun license up to date in case your country’s bullshit leaks all the way over.

            Not my first choice. I never wanted a gun. Now what are your ideas?

              First step is to call out any idiot who thinks that life is a video game and they can just buy a gun and instantly overthrow the 0.01%

                I’ll just go ahead and ignore your not-so-clever-or-subtle insults and deflection. What’s after that? What are you doing to help?

                Let’s hear some ideas, because trust me, no one wants it to come to violence, but the other side has already murdered people. So what’s the plan?

                  We’re still on Step One.

                  Any ideas how to help us? Because you’re wrong, a lot of people think violence is the only thing that will work

                    Well, I’ve abandoned spending money on anything American.

                    I don’t know what else I could do, as a working class Canadian, so I’ve taken training and purchased a firearm as a last resort in preparation for the worst.

                    Aren’t there supposed to be checks and balances? The biggest thing would be to vote in your primaries and the election, I guess. Currently, contact your elected officials and ask them why the fuck they’re letting all this happen. Do everything you can through the proper channels before resorting to violence.

                    But if they won’t play by the rules and come for you, then I don’t think you need to play by the rules either. Telling people they’re wrong for preparing for the worst isn’t helpful.
