    In a nation absolutely awash in high-powered weaponry? They are absolutely delusional if they think this will go the way they think it will.

      so far, said weaponry’s main achievements are higher murder rates than anywhere in the west (interestingly, if you remove guns homicides, it evens out), and killing kids at a higher rate than cancer.

        Now imagine the county collapsed and the US dollar no longer the reserve currency. All these tech bros with billions of nothing sitting in their bunkers will be ripe for the taking. Candy ass nerds and stock brokers are not hard asses no matter what MMA classes they walk through.

          and most people who think they are hard asses aren’t hard asses either. the country isn’t collapsing either. it’s just relinquishing its role of being the leading superpower and establishing techfeudalism.

        The minority of vocal moronic ones, yes.

        The quiet ones who have hidden from public view what they have and how much? Not so much.

          Since we’re not ammosexuals, we’re better trained. No point in having a hundred guns you’re barely familiar with and can’t maintain.
