Should Liberals Support the 2nd Amendment?
Think about it, if those crazy right wing nuts do take over, they might come to appreciate that particular right...! Jus sayin'

First, the 2nd amendment isn't a black or white issue. One doesn't simply believe in it or not.
Plenty of liberals accept the current wisdom of the court of the 2nd amendment, and some agree wholeheartedly. The sticking points of the ruling are in the methodology and practice. I think you'll find plenty of people who agree that a person has the right to maintain a firearm in the home for defense. Many more don't believe that same rule should apply to a person with bad intent who can purchase the same firepower as a military platoon. Many of us enjoy firearms and training; we simply don't need to be armed at Starbucks.
So tread lightly should you think us liberals are waiting scared and shaking behind locked doors because everyone else outguns us. You may find out the hard way that's not the case at all.

@Graylight Well at least it's a response I suppose.
Black & white red and blue, one does not simply walk into Mordor... Plenty?? Plenty! Mmmm, slight exaggeration maybe. In the home or in the store, no difference to me. My body my choice! I take it you are not entirely familiar with military platoons, or just another 'slight' exaggeration tailored to suit the moment? Liberals in general are scared, of lots of things. Fearful of what they don't understand, intolerant of what they do not agree with, unable and unwilling to grant to others that which they claim for themselves!
Go ahead, lead the liberal charge! Just don't look behind you because there will be few at your side...

Typical conservative tripe & trope.
It's fear which paralyzes people into following Trump.

@SomeMichGuy has what to do with me...???

@GerOttman It's your words, so regardless of how you identify, borrowing conservative bullshit makes you sound like a bullshit conservative.

@GerOttman I put myself into MEMORY of right wing radical bullshit for the last 6 years. Why don't you pick out even one of the things on my list that most terrifies redneck white supremacists trumpers...and tell me in the last 6 years (especially) that one is wrong. Just pick one thing that should not be on that list that you all haven't freaked out about.......or tried to cancel out for the rest of us??
GerOttman · 70-79, M
@anythingoes477 i know you think you've said something important. All i heard was blah blah blah Trump wahhhhh......

<response to YOUR words>
You:
Me:
<remind you that they are YOUR words>
You:
Come back when you are NOT drunk / ARE on your meds / whatever, when you can muster enough brainpower to keep straight what YOU have said.
But you're so foolish, you can try wasting others' time.

@GerOttman trumpers get headaches if faced with facts, logic, 2-3 syllabyl words or anything longer that 15 words to read. Thats why all you get is blah, blah out of what you read. In fact you cant dispute anything i wrote....because like every cult member you know perfectly well that that entire list....and more....have kept you and the rest of the cult whipped up into a fury of hate and mistrust and division since your cult leader told you you should be triggered by every word on that list.

@anythingoes477 I would't know, I'm not a Trumper..
anythingoes477 · M
@GerOttman If 2-3 more years no one in America will say they ever were a trumper either. ;-) When trump finishes disgracing himself.......or he turns enough of his own against him for even deeper acts of treason........his appeal will fade completely. It is already. Once upon a time McConnell thought he was the best. Heard McTurtle bragging on the traitor lately? In a couple more years red hats won't be worn anymore ....except by the terminally ignorant.........and most of his cult will swear they weren't ever a trumper either. Yeah, I get it. ;-)
GerOttman · 70-79, M
@anythingoes477 you use a lot of words. you do realize I don't bother reading all of them, right?
anythingoes477 · M
@GerOttman Oh yeah.I know...........trumpers don't read. Facts to one is like garlic to a vampire. Best to not even go there. ;-) But others do read LOGICAL, FACTUAL comebacks to what you say.........which makes you sillier yet.....less rational or informed........to more people. So whether you read what I say or not....smh...who cares?
GerOttman · 70-79, M
@anythingoes477 Ahh, so you don't either! cool..cool..
anythingoes477 · M
@GerOttman Read that last one, didn't you? ;-) ;-) ;-)
GerOttman · 70-79, M
@anythingoes477 honest injun, no. I pick out about three or four words. I already know what you're saying, none of it is particularly innovative. You seem to be enjoying yourself, so I'm happy to keep feeding you straight lines for as long as you enjoy the platform.

@anythingoes477 Yes...in W Berlin, mid-1980s, NO one was a Nazi...
