    eh I dunno. If a cop pulls you over for a broken taillight and his computer says you own a gun, isnt there a much higher chance that they will freak out and shoot you for flimsy reasons?

          What gun registration? I have 40-some guns. The cops have no database to find that information.

        you realize cops have computers in their cars right? And they look up your record when they pull you over? Do you even drive?

      Guns tend to raise tensions wherever they are at. Cause they’re life delete buttons.

        You aren’t wrong. But being walked all over because you took the high ground instead of responding in kind to someone else raising tensions isn’t the answer. Just ask how that worked out for the Ukrainians who gave up their nukes.

        It takes two to deescalate.

          What went wrong with Occupy? I need to look into that again. Cause you’re just gonna either get put down under the Trump Admin with guns or revolutionary behavior. Not that we aren’t gonna be down to guerilla but it seems like an extremely rough and costly life. Best hope on that is the Purged Generals decide to take America back.
