It's enshrined in the Constitution, and many believe the Founding Fathers did so, not just in order to protect freedoms from being taken by the government, but so that the people could protect themselves if the government were unwilling to do so. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is desperately trying to build it up and stoke it because he's behind in the polls, and I doubt as many Americans are as keen on a "culture war" as he thinks. It could seriously backfire if suburban housewives with teenage sons hold him responsible. Sadly, the entire history of America suggests that suburbanites are far more likely to blame black people than they are rich white men for society's perceived problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you make it a racial thing? Besides, who's more likely to burgle, assault or murder the average surburanite? -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably. Maybe the guy who likes Andy Ngo can answer. Given that Ngo is the Proud Boys cheerleader. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I was highlighting that America has a problem with racism. As you well know, but are desperate to pretend otherwise so you can blame black people when they get murdered. As for, "it's happened before", your mate in the White Power House has far more in common with the Austrian white supremacist than any peaceful protesters do. Suggest America might be racist after centuries of slavery, lynchings, Jim Crow Laws, segregation, shooting black people and voting for a racist President = you support Hitler. Ermm, sure.

Aye enshrined at a time where America was susceptible to invasion from Mexico, from the UK etc and it was necessary to have access to men with fire arms, last I checked America is the most powerful country in the world and not susceptible to invasion. It is however susceptible to stupid p***ks playing soldier and kids shooting up schools, so I’d say your argument about it being ok is a bit shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty obvious what this bampot Marxist indy Scotland you all dream of will be like! Clearly any un-woke opinions will result in banishment to a forced labour camp on St. Kilda. ^ Not left or right.

GAD Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 One of the best things about this website is whenever some wee alt right gimp comes along with his oh so clever dog whistle shite, people are very happy just to call them a racist and tell them to f**k off. We might be a bunch of saddo diddy team supporting weirdos, but at least we don't stand for that shite. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just asking the gf, a Portland native, about this. She thinks it's as simple as just a trolling initiative. Portland's largely speaking a lefty place, Oregon outside the metro area very much isn't, and it's pretty accessible for nuts from all over the country. McInnes et al can get a lot of publicity pretty easily there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Americans died in this attack than they have to date in conflict in Afghanistan so I wouldn’t say their gun obsession makes them completely impervious to attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
