Do you work for the FBI? I never said nothing should be done, I’m just trying to explain why nobody has started an armed insurrection. The people you have heard about who are stockpiling guns are conservatives. There you go. There is your answer.

But here you are telling me to go attack the US government. They won because they have billions of dollars backing them and their rivals are ineffectual, not because they are crazy.

Right wingers hoard guns. I have been saying for a solid fucking decade that if the left isn’t armed we’re helpless. There’s the SRA and JBGC, but a major part of the democratic platform has been “we’re gonna take your guns” since before I was born. I might go out in a blaze of glory if the brownshirts bring war to my doorstep, but I’m not picking a suicidal fight on my own.

ETA: and yes, the Democrats aren’t left wing. But they are the leftmost viable party we have. And they have been anti-gun for decades. Which means they tend to not own guns and they tend to not organize militias.
