    Iran is a beautiful country, and an important part of our shared history. It is incredible that a sophisticated society has been suppressed for so long.

    To my Iranian friends, I hope the day comes soon when you can safely start building a better future in Iran.

    Maybe the U.S. Second Amendment isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

    People should have the ability to resist or overthrow a tyrannical government.

    This is what happens when the population has no guns.

      Seems that those gun owners are in line at ICE recruitment office.

        Nah, not really. Thats what the polarizing media would have you believe…. But guns are everywhere in the USA.

        That is extremely biased.

        Many of us own guns precisely to defend ourselves and our countrymen in the event of civil chaos. That's what the second amendment is for.

        Most true leftists I know stay armed. Did you forget what Karl Marx said about an armed populace? We are in some serious shit and this kind of divisive attitude is not productive.

    For reference ~8000 people died on D-Day. Most of the protestors killed are believed to be under 30.

    And the response to this brutal crackdown from our brave and virtuous progressive activists has been a collective shrug of indifference, with some exceptions where those pillars of moral rectitude have taken a bold stance... in support of the fascist theocracy that has massacred its own people.
