Taking AR15s, banning assault rifles - neither of these things are 'coming for your guns' unless the only guns you rock are assault rifles.
And that's Beto, one voice in a giant crowd who didn't even get elected. But keep crying lil baby, no one step on snek, no one's taking your bangbangs, you just got really upset over nothing.
AR15s are the most common firearm in the country. Almost every person who owns a gun most likely owns an AR-15. And to be a little pedantic, AR15s are not assault rifles because they cannot select fire (switch to full auto).
And yes I learned today that Beto was never elected. I was kinda surprised actually. But it is in fact one dem who literally said "I'm gonna take your guns", word for word, and a lot of people did support him. That doesn't mean absolutely nothing and as a dem, I am fully aware that there are many Dems that would support the outright ban of guns without hesitation (I know a few).
But to think I'm upset over this, no lol. I think we need stricter gun regulation, but sale bans, outright bans, and confiscation are taking it way too far, when leftists should be arming themselves after a near-miss insurrection with Chief Cheeto. I don't think I'm in the wrong for supporting gun ownership and self defense as a civilian and human right and the above (plus COVID happening) is literal proof that shit isn't good right now and it can get worse. Seriously, I lived in Philly at the beginning of COVID and police were unable to keep up with emergency calls. If police can't protect you (and why even expect it?) then learn to protect yourself, and firearms level the playing field.
