(80,522 posts)I'm sorry. I can't help but make the comparison. Our side chains ourselves to trees and gates of nuclear power plants and stuff. Our side goes on hunger strikes. Our side doesn't go all macho and para-military and "settle things" with guns & ammo. It's just not who we are.
We're not the ones always shoving our gun ownership and our "right to bear arms" in everyone else's faces. We're not the ones out there swaggering around with our six-guns and our holsters. We're not the ones talking openly and longingly, and yes - even ominously and threateningly, about "second amendment remedies." Shit like that comes from the CON side.
False equivalency absolutely! It's like comparing a brick to a grain of aquarium gravel and saying they're both alike. And you better believe some idiot pundit will try to make that comparison as they all do.
These guys are domestic terrorists. These guys need to be taken into custody for making threats against the President. They're manifestly dangerous and reckless as hell! What's to stop one of them in some macho lather from trying to prove how much more alpha-male he is than all the other Yosemite Sam wannabes?
These guys are a threat to society!
