This is exactly what I would be concerned with if you tell them something like "come try and get my guns and see what happens to you."
I would not get into anything you might personally do if anyone came to take your guns because there is no telling how they might twist what you said and report it to the police.
Aries144,
I've got to tell you, that same script could be used by the left to describe the right. What do you think the 1% and their lackeys have been doing for the last 30 years? Selling us down the river and feathering their own nests. Sure some trickles down to the next 39%, but that is not their goal, it is an unintended consequence.
Ultimately I think the decision that younger Americans will have to make is whose boot do they want on their throats, someone chanting 'from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs' or someone chanting 'free market, free market, tax cuts to benefit the wealthy.'
The thing both sides have in common is they give zero fvcks about us poor slobs in the middle, we are pawns in the game.
You are absolutely right, our side doesn't have a strong ideological core, it is indeed made up of short-sighted opportunists.
Instead of being all 'hey buddy, fvck you, I've got mine' how about if we all stood up and said 'hey buddy, I've got mine, how 'bout me helping you do a bit better' and help that poor guy not be quite as poor.
In my book that isn't Socialism, it is putting Christian values to work Monday through Saturday, instead of for an hour a day on Sunday. And, for those who aren't Christians, it would take the wind plumb out of the left's sails, but more importantly it would once again elevate America to truly the greatest Nation on Earth.

That’s a very good point. Even some Jews worked for the Nazis right? (e.g. Soros)
I don’t think there’s a lot of (rational, logical, clear or stable) thinking involved. I think it’s party line and driven by some strange emotional reaction (evidenced by the quick denigration from conversation to argument to [his] yelling [at me]).
Valid concern, I have never taken this stance. These arguments are not all 2A. Range from Obama’s drone strike frequency, BLM versus Blue Lives, Chiraq, mass shooters, high capacity assault clips, Seth Rich, and everything in between. Today was just constitutional republic and BGC’s.
Have you ever been driving to Church and get behind someone with one of those "When will Women have the same rights as Guns' bumper stickers, right next to a 'Coexist" bumper sticker right next to a "Vote Hillary" bumper sticker and they are driving horribly?
You know the type, cell phone to ear, as they eat some fast food, weaving, driving ten under because they are distracted, just a real PITA.
You finally get around them and find a space to park and when you look up that asshole driver is getting their kids out of the Prius and going to the same Church you do?
They don't get it, they simply are inside a delusional bubble of bubble gum Socialism.
Just avoid them like the plauge.
Because if you can self justify taking someone's gun, you can justify taking other properties they own and once you have nominalized someone that much it's just one more step to taking their life.
These nutbags are everywhere.
" Nil desperandum - Never Despair. That is a motto for you and me. All are not dead; and where there is a spark of patriotic fire, we will rekindle it. "

I've always followed a similar logic train with "right to defense" as a "civil right." Just as you have the right to believe what you will, the right to express ideas and beliefs, the right to be free and secure in your persons, houses, papers and effect...you also have the right to defend your very existence and the lives of your loved ones.
Funny how very philosophical people sometimes cannot grasp that fundamental right to control your very life and defend it, but they worry about the art they create being protected.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
