I have seen a lot of people trying to argue with conservatives over the fact that liberals are now using guns. Conservatives are crying that liberals are in the streets using guns. I am here shouting, finally, they\u2019re using guns! Remember President Biden threatened the lives of every American when he said, \u201cHow are you going to fight the federal government against nukes and tanks?\u201d theoretically saying he would use nukes on Americans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Here is the problem. I don\u2019t have or see an issue with anyone taking up arms for a cause they believe in. That is a uniquely American thing. The problem is when you become out of control or you actually threaten people\u2019s lives, the result will be others will take up arms against your threats. What I am trying to say is the liberals with guns protecting their neighborhoods are doing so against something they fear, something they don\u2019t see as right. It doesn\u2019t matter if you don\u2019t agree with it; to them, it\u2019s not right, and using their god given right to fight against what they view as wrong, I cannot condemn. The problem I have is when you start threatening to kill someone, like in the case of the New Black Panthers in Philly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The man was on video saying something along the lines of \u201cI bet those ICE boys won\u2019t try to mess with me like that because I\u2019ll put a hole in their chest,\u201d that\u2019s threatening a federal official from doing their federally mandated job, which will result in the weight of the federal government coming down. People have been screaming \u201cTrump is going to use the Insurrection Act to declare war on the American people,\u201d and your thought is to scream on the internet about how you\u2019re going to kill federal law enforcement? What do you think his response will be?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This anger that people on both sides have now about how much our local police look like a military, I was there about 20 years ago. I am a big 2A guy, and when I saw the local PD and sheriff arming themselves with military-style trucks and getting larger caliber weapons than what we can buy, I knew it was only a matter of time before the government got to a point where we couldn\u2019t fight them. Not saying I still wouldn\u2019t try, but from where I sit as a man pushing the wrong side of 50, it\u2019s starting to look more and more like Biden was right. While I applaud both sides for taking up arms to fight for what they believe in, I no longer feel it will be a good fight as we are too divided. We all used to hate the government, and now we still may hate the government, but we also hate those that voted for it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I\u2019ve never hated someone because of their political stance or beliefs. I have disagreed and been influenced by media to believe narratives but never hated anyone. Threatening to kill federal law enforcement because you don\u2019t like those in control is not the right thing. Obama\u2019s ICE killed over 50 people and there wasn\u2019t a peep. He deported somewhere in the area of 3 million people. Yet no one had an issue. The left is being played and being pushed into a war with the right because whoever is paying for and controlling the protests will benefit from it. There is only one man I know of in modern history that benefits from the collapse of countries specifically their currency and that is George Soros. The right is being played by a power-hungry force that could or could not be Trump. He\u2019s an egomaniac for sure but I fear who may be really pulling his strings. It\u2019s clearly someone who just wants to watch the world burn.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So while I see nothing wrong with this, I could argue that one is not threatening and the other is, and I don\u2019t like someone leaving their home like Rittenhouse to go towards trouble, but that\u2019s also uniquely American and a little of what happens when people get radicalized.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The problem with both sides is the radicalization.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Again, what this man is doing is essentially the same thing they said Kyle Rittenhouse was doing, yet this conservative wants to \u201clock him up\u201d. The only thing that would justify such a statement is if he\u2019s not legally allowed to own a gun or if he doesn\u2019t have the right permit, which don\u2019t even get me started on the permits.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

By the time you realize you\u2019ve been radicalized, it\u2019s often too late.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
