My SO and I voted today! First time doing it in person since I don’t trust drop boxes and mail-ins given the MAGA shenanigans.

Are… Are you referring to yourself in the 3rd person?

I take back my up-lemms

I mistakenly thought Squid was suggesting that privacy for gun owners wasn’t a valid topic for discussion.

Following that, I was establishing the importance of privacy for gun owners because, well… We may need them if there is a successful coup.

Squid, you are always a joy to converse with. I’d like to know what your “something” is but something tells me you won’t tell me if I ask 😉

You could have just mentioned that you were referencing other responses to previous events. Regardless, I’ll take the L because I guess I did miss the point.

Maybe I really did miss the point. What did you mean by, “Now is not the time to talk about gun privacy control.”

I took it to mean you didn’t think it was a valid issue for discussion.

My point hasn’t changed at all, my point was to establish that you agree it was a coup attempt.

Given a possible coup, a list of all gun owners (regardless of political affiliation) is bad. Privacy rights are important, even for people we disagree with.

Exactly. Now assuming they were successful (or a future attempt is) how do we fight them? I somehow doubt a peaceful march will sway them to restore democracy.

If you don’t know who “DJT and his ilk” are, then who is “them” in your response?

Point is, if your government is about to be overrun, why would you give the government/state a monopoly on violence?

Do you trust the police/military to be the sole owners of firearms given the current political climate? I know you don’t like cops Squid, and Trump has already threatened to deploy the military against civilians and political opponents.

Oh I got the point Squid, I disagree :)

Tell me, do you feel Jan 6th was a genuine coup attempt? As in, DJT and his ilk were actually interested in and attempting to maintain and consolidate their power in the government outside of the election results?

I agree, we need action to protect people’s privacy from unethical warrantless searches and monitoring.

Snowden tried to warn us…

BECAUSE this is the ONLY way to TEACH real people the TRUTH about {[them]}!!!
