Trigger happy &amp; whatnot. The gun situation is obviously highly dangerous, right? Well American cities are knee deep in protests, riots, &amp; destruction. Yet shootings in response are crazy low. 2\/<\/p>\n<p>If ever there was a time such irresponsible, gun wielding Americans would go nuts, it would be now. And yet&#8230;that\u2019s not the case. Thousands have taken to their businesses &amp; streets armed to deter, but few have needed to or been willing to engage their firearms. 3\/<\/p>\n<p>What is going on? If it was a gun problem &amp; reckless American problem, would we not have bodies piling up? We don\u2019t, because what many of has said repeatedly is true. Use of lethal force is the LAST resort &amp; even in the face of chaos &amp; destruction, we are hesitant to use it. 4\/<\/p>\n<p>If the media &amp; Dem narrative about guns &amp; their owners were true, it would be a fucking bloodbath. Yes, people are deterring looters with armed defenders. Yes, the suburbs are doing the same. But no one is willy nilly shooting people, even bad actors. 5\/<\/p>\n<p>Even all those Bubba MAGAs who are \u201cmuh rebel flag, muh gun\u201d wielding racists, who we were told would are dangerous af &amp; would shoot POC without provocation, are not rounding up their boys to do&#8230;anything. 6\/<\/p>\n<p>If a lot of this is truly white supremacist infiltration &amp; they intend to fuel the mayhem, why would they not be loading trucks armed with their AR-15s to go intimidate &amp; impose their will? To gun down abusers &amp; get their own kind of justice? 7\/<\/p>\n<p>All of this completely betrays the anti-gun argument that citizens cannot be trusted with foreakrs. It\u2019s amazing how so many blue checks &amp; others, once shitstorms came to their neighborhoods, are admitting that they are now looking into armed self defense. 8\/<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust call 911.\u201d Welp, they are overwhelmed &amp; telling people to fend for themselves given the current strife. \u201cJust call the police.\u201d The same police you have deemed racist &amp; inadequate? \u201cOnly police &amp; military should be armed.\u201d How is that working out, y\u2019all? 9\/<\/p>\n<p>No. You are the only one that is responsible for and can be held accountable to your family, friends, &amp; property. Do what you must. I hope you are armed. fin\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAmerica has a gun problem,\u201d they said.
