    They may have more guns, but they have about the same number of trigger fingers. Gun ownership by the right is badly skewed by looks like this. One guy with sixty guns is really no better armed than a guy with one gun.

        My first thought was “my gawd there’s no way my partner and I would fit on that tiny bed”

        My second was “oh jeebus, that’s a look”

        third was “why are all the guns on the floor”

      Is there any particular reason every single gun is aimed vaguely in the direction of those two kids? It somehow makes it look extra tone deaf.

      That’s because the “arming myself to take back my country from leftists” is just them blowing hot air.

      They buy lots of guns because someone told them Obama or Biden wants to take away their right to buy guns, so they spend their whole savings on them thinking that they’re beating the system…

      In many cases, it’s a matter of being so fucking scared of the world (common amongst Fox News and other RW media consumers) that the only way they can be comfortable is within arms reach of a gun.

      The vast majority of Conservatives don’t have the guts to actually take action with their guns, because most of them bought them out of fear of bodily injury, not to enter battle and put their own skin in the game.

      The few extremists that actually want to start a civil war are mostly morons with no training who won’t accomplish anything but a handful of disorganized mass shootings that will actually freak out everyone else, including other gun owners.
