    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.

              “There’s a chance of an earthquake. You should store tons of unstable explosives in your basement. That’s the best way to prepare!”

                  Your words.

                  So, no one wants it to come to violence, but violence is inevitable because you say so?

                  I’m safer facing the enemy alone, than in a mob of untrained wanna-be Annie Oakleys
