Roughly one hour and 12 minutes into the event, Kirk was asked something the audience member himself deemed a bit out of the ordinary.
At this point, were living under corporate and medical fascism. This is tyranny. When do we get to use the guns? No, and Im not thats not a joke, asked the audience member. Im not saying it like that. I mean, literally, wheres the line? How many elections are they going to steal before we kill these people?

If I lived in a rural area, I would be especially scared given they could probably shoot you and the police and judge would probably let the perp walk.

I grew up in the country and am comfortable with guns. But they are not really a daily part of my life. And if you aren't competent with one, and not really willing to put in the time to get competent (which I completely understand), then NOT getting one is the responsible position. A gun fight is LAST place I'd ever want to be.... except a gun fight where I am without a gun myself.

(8,578 posts)Shooting each other over politics out here in the BFE. Jeez. That's just as ridiculous as the woman I knew who right after 9/11 was terrified that the Muslim terrorists were going to invade and kill her in her bed...way out here in Nowheresville, North Carolina. C'mon people.

massive difference
The potential agents of violent bloodshed are already right there, in BFE, and have been for a century or more. They are being bombarded and immersed more and more with an ecosystem that increasingly frames their political opponents as deadly enemies of all facets of their life, deadly threats to their very bedrock social constructs. Tens of millions have already had the very concepts of objective facts and truth annihilated.
All it takes is an inflection point reached, facilitated by a few influential 'tip of the spear' local catalysts, and mobs can form and churn into a 'strength in numbers' maelstrom capable of a multiplicity of actions that are dismissed as impossible under a pattern of continual, long-term normalcy bias.
Human history is littered for thousands of years with similar behaviour. The US is not immune from such forces. The ties that bind and give some protection are being rent asunder more and more as each week, month, and year flows by.

(8,578 posts)But all these people in rural areas just waiting for a tipping point...if they form a mob and start killing democrats, they'd be killing their neighbors, their barber, the guy who cures their deer meat, or one of the local hairdressers. In a rural county everybody knows everybody, and their parents and grandparents and they're likely related in there somewhere. They would be killing the people they see and interact with every day. People who are friends, relatives, coworkers.
I have to stop here...my dog is demanding my attention.
LiberatedUSA
(1,666 posts)Mostly Republicans, but we Democratic voters are here to. Everyone here isnt fighting over politics. That is for Twitter and online political forums.
They do have lots of guns. Anyone that thinks they will hand over their AR-15s is living in a dream world. It is another world out here as far as that is concerned. But that does have a small perk. It keeps any violent protests to the cities. Nobody is bringing a bus load of looters out here where the guns would absolutely come out to defend the town. And there are a LOT of guns, mainly the ones we only want the cops we protest to have because we cant see how silly it is to call a gun a mass murder weapon then want it banned from everyone but the same cops we protest for killing us.

(8,578 posts)In the last say ten years only a handful of gun deaths - and that would be murder, accidental and suicide combined. Probably six or maybe eight at the most.

(3,707 posts)The issue is morality and absence of morality. The issue is kindergarten knowledge, actually the lack of it.
When war and killing are in minds and sick souls, we are far beyond politics and civics and cities and societies and all those synced-systems serving up our balkanized consumer kitch.
No one pines for the days when the war lords ruled and pillaged the village!

(3,564 posts)Per person, they might own several more guns. They might have a stockpile of 20,30,40 different guns.
But my experience is - that you normally can only shoot one gun at a time.
TheRealNorth
(9,481 posts)and seem to be getting away with it in most cases. Not to mention the kid that ran over 6 cyclists while trying to "roll coal". As of last week, no charges have been made. Don't get me started about Rittenhouse - I can already tell you he won't see the inside of a prison.
Jedi Guy
(3,192 posts)Even with the footage the FBI found, odds are at least one juror will swallow the self-defense claim. I'm expecting that the only charge that will stick is the minor in possession of a weapon.

(6,592 posts)Why do people believe this crap? Messaging. Right wing propaganda messaging, delivered over & over again, until it brainwashes them into believing crap like this.
I've become convinced that fighting the RW propaganda machine, & fighting back against their messaging, is essential to saving our country. We cannot ignore it if we want American democracy to continue.

(6,135 posts)some effort by the DOJ to investigate, charge and prosecute the current batch of 1/6 offenders will have a squelching effect on other wingnuts.
maxsolomon
(33,345 posts)It appears the DOJ can't figure out a crime to charge the organizers with. Conspiracy is very tough to prove.
They're all fairly well versed in making their threats of violence generic, not directed at an individual, and therefore "metaphorical".

KentuckyWoman
(6,679 posts)I was raised in "middle of nowhere" Kentucky. We trapped and shot a lot of food. My father made sure every one of us understood guns and gun safety. Although I don't much like guns, I am a good shot. I've been told I decide faster than most, choose well and don't hesitate.
There's a lot more women like me in America than you might think. I don't want to pull a trigger, but if some stupidass comes after me and mine, I will do it.
This said. This crap about civil war is just that. Crap. It isn't going to happen any time soon. The media loves to push this. Social media especially. But on the ground in America, this just isn't happening.
