the prepared citizen movement-----------------------Not around here in WNC. All the nuts have the guns and the people who I have talked to about getting armed and trained don’t want a gun. They are the ones who should be preparing.
Although purported interest has never been higher, all the soft white libs I know are still deep in their full-of-shit phase and not doing a single fucking thing to prepare. It’s only the far leftists and people in the center that are on the uptake thus far from my vantage point.
Meh…not really…most of us are stuck in the rat race or dying in state buildings. Don’t have time to fight gotta pay bills.
Maybe the future brings Madmax style roving gangs, but you’re still expected to be at the office by 8.30.
Americans will kill anyone and anything before the 40hr work week
I wish the NY Times found a different group to highlight. These guys seem like they found an opportunity to make a buck. Surely there are other groups that are more organized and not trying to sell trinkets.
Where do people get the money to stock up on guns? They are friggin expensive.
Not really… You can get a cheap pistol or a shotgun for $200-$300, solid reliable handguns start at ~$450 and you can get a military grade rifle for $800
It’s not nothing, but it’s the same price range as most phones - if you want the fancy one with brand recognition you’ll pay twice as much, but you can get quality pretty cheap if you do your research
Steal them from MAGA Traitors. They don’t know how to shoot, just take them away from them.
No. You have to practice, or you’re just holding a threat. A threat likely to get you shot
I know how to shoot, and I’ve had plenty of practice. I’m also not a coward, and I’m not afraid of going to Hell, like MAGA religious freaks.
Read the article and everyone in those massive communities that train firearms and survivalism are Republicans.
None of you lefty/Democrats reading this comment own guns or are interested in training in large communities, so these Republicans will wipe you off the map when Orange fascism takes complete control. Prove me wrong, link me your large lefty gun group.
Y’all are gonna shoot each other the second the beer runs out.
link me to your large lefty gun group
Fuck off fed
I’m left in Canada which is the US equivalent of a more left leaning Bernie Sanders. I’m a veteran, I have a rifle, and I support increased gun controls. Granted my rifle is hot pink so it’s not exactly combat ready.
Greg, please keep a round loaded at all times, and continue training with it. Your lower neighbors are being dumb and it may slink its way up.
It’s gonna be cops/military murdering us as usual.
Who do you think is currently kidnapping and disappearing people?
Maga chuds won’t even need to get out of bed.
That group is pathetically small at barely 100k active users, there are almost over a million active in the other right wing gun communities. We are cooked.
LOL I love this idea that some men with guns can stand up to some dude in a mountain flying a drone.
Thank you, General Armchair. Do you have any more insightful tactical advice that you learned from your gamer chats that you can share over Signal with us?
We don’t feel the need to broadcast it, or make it part of our personality.
But don’t equate that to not knowing how to use or not owning them.
I’m a left-leaning gun owner, and I don’t buy that. “We’re ready and organized…but we’re a super secret dark brotherhood so we can’t show you!” does not inspire confidence.
For every one of us there are probably 6-12 MAGA zealots by my estimation (vibes-based, admittedly).
Don’t be ridiculous. There is no “dark brotherhood”. Leftist gun clubs are all over, but besides social media and the occasional interview, they just don’t advertise. Nobody needs to, because interested people will find you anyway. That’s different from right-wing groups, who attract members by being as edgy and loud as possible in order to show how alpha they are.
Also, right wingers are cowards at their core, and most would probably drop the gun the first time they fire it.
There might be more right-wingers with guns, but a far higher percentage of left-wing gun owners are competent with guns. As far as I’m concerned, right-wing gun owners are where we go to steal their guns to add to our own arsenal.
