I hope this isn't out of context, also I don't want to "own the libs" or something here, I'm actually interested.

It's a sub for people who are interested in guns, whether they own them or not. What it isn't is a crack-job 2A extremist circle-jerk. Plenty of folks here support the 2nd amendment. Some, like me, think it's an anachronism from a time when a civilian uprising had a snowball's chance in hell against our modern military. Hell, you don't have a chance against our paramilitarized police force, much less any branch of our armed forces. But, still, the amendment is there, and we have to work with that, and the consequences of "militias" trying to kidnap or assasinate elected officials. Which I'm sure is what the founding fathers intended when they added that amendment 🙄

Again, the ignorance here is astounding. Read history. Farmers have defeated militaries. Guerillas are still an effective force against militaries. Are you aware what's going on in Asia with printed plastic guns?

By your logic, it's normal to have a car sub filled with r/fuckcars users that like the artistic look of cars. How stupid.

The sub is c/guns. Not c/2a.

Maybe you got lost along the way.
