I’ve [fired a gun] a lot in movies, but there are too many guns in the real world. I know people with guns, and they always say the same thing. “If somebody breaks into my house, I have to be able to defend myself.” But what they’re really saying is, “I hope somebody breaks into my house so I can use this thing.” It’s so wrong.
I'm 39 years old and would you believe that my house has never been broken into? Not even once. I must be super lucky. It seems to be happening all the time from what people say.
I'm younger than you. Had my home broken into once. Brother had his broken into three times. Not to say a gun would have helped in any of those instances, but homes do get broken into.
Mass majority of the cases are when people aren't home. The thieves want a quick in and out score, not to have to face a possible armed home owner. The type of person depicted in the comic just wants to kill "certain" people only and we know it's just thinly veiled racism at this point.
And for some reason they always assume they won't be a victim in the purge. Like when people think it would be cool to be a 40k space marine when there's a 99% chance you end up as a servitor.
Those people don't really understand the social and political commentary that's been in WH40K. Albeit it's less blatantly obvious now and more dark satire but it's there.
It would even suck to be the emperor of mankind. Everyone is suffering for Grim-Dumb reasons in 40k like the nuclear rodmen that refuel starships or whatever... even a dumb robot on rails using limit switches can do the job but noooooo we have to melt an entire human being per rod bundle.
Yeah unfortunately in the Apocalypse, most people, by definition, are dead, so the chances are that you are also dead and thus cannot live out your Mad Max fantasies.
And most preppers will last as long as the canned food does. A lot of them are just people who want to kill people without problems with no thought to continuity of civilization after an event.
A ton of chuds think just because they have a tricked out bro-rifle they'll be surviving deep into the apocalypse. The ones whose truck are covered in gun decals, have a "protected by the 2nd amendment" sign in their front yards and punisher skull shit all over the place.
Where as real prepparing people aren't just hoarding canned goods and ammunition. They're learning animal husbandry, how to grow crops, rotation of crops, ways to clean and purify water. Trying to rebuild society stuff that the typical reactionary couldn't understand.
The first purge movie was just really heavy social commentary on POC and racism, homelessness amongst veterans, jealousy amongst neighbors, and the wealthy who practically are killing people for fun at this point.
I attended a gun show once, and went with a friend who had worked in a gun store for years and was much more familiar than me, to prevent me from making a fool of myself.
There was a table advocating for "Constitutional Carry," that is, arguing that there should be no licensing required for concealed carry. There were two guys manning the table, one maybe in his thirties, and the other a guy in his fifties or sixties with a long grey beard.
I'd have just walked by, but my friend marched right up and said "Hey, just so you know, I hope you guys fail."
The younger guy kind of tenses up and bristles a little and the older guy says "Oh? Why is that?"
And my friend says "I worked in a gun store for over ten years, and I turned in more concealed carry permit applications than I can remember, and..." and at this point she gestures around to the room behind us, "... I wouldn't trust 95% of the people in this room with a gun."
And the older guy kind of smiles and nods and says "Yeah, okay, that's fair."
Burglars might score a single-shot shotgun or two from me, like the one over the door, if they notice it. Now let's see them figure out how to use one!
Only if every soldier knows how to operate and maintain any kid of gun they can possibly come across, and only if they can magically build supply lines to move the right ammo to the right places without knowing where it all is ahead of time, and only if nobody booby traps anything. There's a reason soldiers don't procure on site unless they have to.
And I would add to the argument there's a second, less visible gun culture in the USA. You have the right wing idiots who put loaded pistols between sofa cushions with toddlers in the house and people who are fine with guns far left of them that lock them up properly, don't broadcast it with posters, bumper stickers, and what not You know, more responsible people.
Got a brand new semi-automatic weapon with a laser sight
(Shoot to kill now, shoot to kill)
Oh, I'm prayin' somebody tries to break in here tonight
(Shoot to kill now, shoot to kill)
I always keep a Magnum in my trunk
You better ask yourself, do you feel lucky, punk?
Because I'm trigger happy
Trigger happy every day
Oh, I accidentally shot Daddy last night in the den
(Shot Daddy in the den)
I mistook him in the dark for a drug-crazed Nazi again!
(Drug-crazed Nazi again)
Now why'd you have to get so mad?
It was just a lousy flesh wound, Dad!
You know I'm trigger happy
Trigger happy every day (Ooh, trigger happy every day)
I practice. I run from one end of my camp to the other with my slung AR-15. Shaking and sweating I can put steel on target (10'x10') at 40'. That's gotta be good enough. Did I mention I have emphysema?
BTW, I have a brown, immigrant wife, so this is a practical exercise vs. fantasy.
these are what you call AMMOSEXUALs, they really do fantasize about it, and its exclusively conservatives, they are also paranoid asf.
once followed some ytubers that turned magaty, and they were literally "euphoric" at the thought of shooting someone(a "intruder") and one of them even has multiple guns stashed at thierhouse in case of this.
Fuck all of you ignorant assholes. Shooting another person is the last thing I ever want to do with any of my guns. That's not why I have them, that's not what I like to do with them.
After the Hunger Games movies came out, there was a huge number of young girls taking up the hobby of archery because they wanted to be like Katniss Everdeen. Are you going to accuse them of penetrating themselves with their arrows while they fantasize about killing people? Of course not, because that would make you a sick weirdo.
I get tired of this piss ass notion. Those that want to kill go overseas to be PMCs like in Ukraine, and yeah I have some buddies that did that. I have permit and it's mainly for comp shooting these days. It's like the fuckcars fork. I'm sorry I like my late dads car and the sound of the engine is comforting.
Not a very good comic for the current state of things. Right now being anti-gun is at best suicidal and at worst straight up traitorous. You can't afford to be anti-gun when the government is literally turning fascist.
And you'd rather have literally nothing when the fascists all have them?
If you don't participate in an arms race you're the next person to be subjugated. We know everyone loses in one, but not participating at all is suicidal. You can't afford to be neutral on a moving train.
Not the person you are asking, but I wouldn't. AI is rather an arms race towards who atrophies their brains first by offloading thinking onto AI. The only winning move is not to play, or at least don't be stupid about using it.
Atrophy doesn't matter in war, only capability to harm your opponent.
In the early modern period in Europe you could argue that the European armies martial arts ability in close quarters combat that had been developed over centuries was atrophying as they relied more on guns. But that doesn't matter if 50 guys with guns can defeat 5 highly trained knights and those 50 guys are cheaper to find and replace.
Same with AI, it won't matter if you have a couple more highly trained hackers and security experts if there up against a swarm of AI agents who have proven very capable of cyber attacks.
Agents are the guns of cyber warfare. Any idiot can pick them up easily and do a lot of harm.
The left will never win an arms race against the right. Even discounting their gigantic headstart they also have way more money and resources and the backing of the arms manufacturers to get more weapons.
Our best bet is to try and put up as much gun control as possible and try and reduce the advantage they already have, not try and start a losing war that'll get us killed.
Or be like Switzerland and give every man military training and a gun from the state to completely even the playing field.
Not that there's not merit to the mainstream right having more firearms than the mainstream 'left', but I think you might be discounting how many people left of the center are firearm owners in America. If you're speaking from a perspective of civil unrest leading to political violence, I dont feel any group will have a hard time obtaining firearms, rather they'd be bottlenecked by the amount of supporters they can find to wield such firearms. A lot of people are talk, yet when you give someone a gun and say they might die for a cause, it vastly lowers how many truly want to enact violence.
Praise "Bob," but he doesn't answer prayers, he's too busy doing his own thing. Sometimes what you want happens to line up with what "Bob" wants though which is nice. And if you follow "Bob's" teachings you'll learn to surf the Luck Plane yourself and maybe one day find true Slack.
Ah, another post from a person who knows nothing about gun culture except what liberals have instructed them to believe.
No one talks like this. No one acts like this. The closest you'll find on YT are videos about whether or not $X is appropriate for home defense, and that shit is played out, rare enough now, we're mostly on the same page. (OP is now madly hunting a fringe guntuber with 500 subscribers.)
Reminds me of a (former) conservative friend, "Well yeah! You liberals all believe (insane bullshit incoming).
"Who the fuck told you that? Who the hell are you listening to?"
Oh! You get your information and world view from memes! I get it. I prefer not to countenance words on pictures.
I live in Texas and I have to be careful making friends because plenty of guys here are like this. I'm not saying it's the majority, but you're absolutely wrong if you think this kind of thinking isn't prevalent in some areas of the US.

There seems to be a concerning part of American culture where they wanna shoot people without being arrested for it.
I think a lot of people would really like the Purge
And for some reason they always assume they won't be a victim in the purge. Like when people think it would be cool to be a 40k space marine when there's a 99% chance you end up as a servitor.
Those people don't really understand the social and political commentary that's been in WH40K. Albeit it's less blatantly obvious now and more dark satire but it's there.
Yup they see cool looking space marine and don't understand they were basically tortured into shape from birth.
it would NOT be cool to be a space marine, or anything in 40k
It would even suck to be the emperor of mankind. Everyone is suffering for Grim-Dumb reasons in 40k like the nuclear rodmen that refuel starships or whatever... even a dumb robot on rails using limit switches can do the job but noooooo we have to melt an entire human being per rod bundle.

The Purge is an example of this, as well as a lot of zombie movies and apocalypse movies.
A ton of chuds think just because they have a tricked out bro-rifle they'll be surviving deep into the apocalypse. The ones whose truck are covered in gun decals, have a "protected by the 2nd amendment" sign in their front yards and punisher skull shit all over the place.
75% of them have put 1 mag through each gun
Where as real prepparing people aren't just hoarding canned goods and ammunition. They're learning animal husbandry, how to grow crops, rotation of crops, ways to clean and purify water. Trying to rebuild society stuff that the typical reactionary couldn't understand.
I don't understand the Purge.
If crime were legal for a day I'd do things like pay a mortgage off with company money, not murder randos.
The first purge movie was just really heavy social commentary on POC and racism, homelessness amongst veterans, jealousy amongst neighbors, and the wealthy who practically are killing people for fun at this point.
French cops are breaking into kids and paramedics’ skulls rn.
Lack of easy gun access is why the French are known for never protesting.
📸
Beautiful
Source for French police breaking someone's skull during 2026 protests, specifically?
But of course, here's the understatement by the state media, already including several mutilation to skull, eyes, hands, and only regarding the protest of last Saturday ! https://www.franceinfo.fr/societe/mobilisation-du-17-octobre/une-adolescente-eborgnee-un-mineur-a-la-main-arrachee-ce-que-l-on-sait-des-quatre-enquetes-ouvertes-par-l-igpn-apres-les-violences-du-17-octobre_8245324.html
Several minors including one that wasn't even in the protest were maimed in the days before too
Gun owners houses are a nice shopping centre for gun and ammo thieves I suppose.
Yeah "this house defended by Smith & Wesson" and such macho posturing shit basically a "FREE GUNS" sign for thieves
I have seen some of those stickers or signs on some cars and I'll tell you, it was very tempting to get me a new pistol.
No one sane puts those idiot signs up. Over in /r/liberalgunowners the mantra was, "Keep that cutsie shit on your rifle case, not public.)
America would be a different place if there was an IQ requirement for gun ownership.

I can’t speak for all, but I have a safe that is bolted to the floor. If they get in there, they did more work than robbing the gun store.
Burglars might score a single-shot shotgun or two from me, like the one over the door, if they notice it. Now let's see them figure out how to use one!
Yep. It means that if anyone does try to conquer the United States they won't have to worry as much about logistics.
Only if every soldier knows how to operate and maintain any kid of gun they can possibly come across, and only if they can magically build supply lines to move the right ammo to the right places without knowing where it all is ahead of time, and only if nobody booby traps anything. There's a reason soldiers don't procure on site unless they have to.
Ha. You think it just isn't perpetual chaos here???
You're ignorant, shut up. It's either on me or unloaded in the safe. The ammo is in another safe in another room.
The United States are weirder every day.
This has been a thing forever and it’s usually the people who didn’t go into the military that get a hard on for wanting to shoot someone
And I would add to the argument there's a second, less visible gun culture in the USA. You have the right wing idiots who put loaded pistols between sofa cushions with toddlers in the house and people who are fine with guns far left of them that lock them up properly, don't broadcast it with posters, bumper stickers, and what not You know, more responsible people.

The whole maga crowd has been so hardcore FAFO since 2020 a lot of people I knew where genuinely itching to find someone they could "legally" kill.
thats why they all joined ICE the second they could
I'll give him a pass if he [redacted] an ICE agent
That redacted word better not be “is”.
You make a good point

You are spot on!
I practice. I run from one end of my camp to the other with my slung AR-15. Shaking and sweating I can put steel on target (10'x10') at 40'. That's gotta be good enough. Did I mention I have emphysema?
BTW, I have a brown, immigrant wife, so this is a practical exercise vs. fantasy.
One of my friends is like this... except the gun maintenance part.
I agree that's stupid, but it's entirely reasonable to arm yourself in the current state of the world.
"I agree with what the comic is saying, but I disagree with what the comic is not saying."
And when the police do a no knock raid and you shoot them, you're going to get the death penalty for defending your home
Which is why no knock raids should be illegal.
Fucking hell, just go and play airsoft or paintball...
Actually don't... we don't want your types turning our rather fun games of honesty into shouting matches over what is simply just a game.
these are what you call AMMOSEXUALs, they really do fantasize about it, and its exclusively conservatives, they are also paranoid asf.

A reasonable person would assume you aren't the person the comic is depicting after the second sentence.
The problem is that idiots see a comic like this and think "yes... this is all gun owners"
This has to be one of the dumbest attempts at an analogy I've ever seen.
It's not even possible to kill yourself with a bow and arrow without like a system of fucking pulleys. It's not even close to the same thing.
I get tired of this piss ass notion. Those that want to kill go overseas to be PMCs like in Ukraine, and yeah I have some buddies that did that.
