16. It's fear of the 2nd Amendment
Fri May 1, 2020, 01:31 PM

Look at how easily people are tear gassed, shot with rubber bullets, arrested...killed...for exercising their 1st Amendment rights. Unarmed, peacefully protesting, maybe some raised voices. Yes, yelling is a threat, I guess.

Now...look at all of the protests where these insecure, paranoid, white assholes are playing soldier. Screaming inches from the faces of cops, clinging to their guns, rifles, knives and not one raised finger. Not one threat of arrest.

Why the fuck is this happening? Because yelling and unarmed protests don't have lobbyists as powerful as these assholes. The 2nd Amendment is a money maker. We don't dare try to infringe on THEIR rights. Fucking snowflakes couldn't win a battle with a three-legged kitten unless they were armed.

Thanks for the article, babylonsister! You pissed me off.
