Alito's draft opinion explicitly criticizes Lawrence v. Texas (legalizing sodomy) and Obergefell v. Hodges (legalizing same-sex marriage). He says that, like abortion, these decisions protect phony rights that are not "deeply rooted in history."

    buy a gun, learn to use it, get together with people you know who aren't total shitheads and encourage them to buy guns too

    they're going to come for us. make them work for it.

          Did you know that Sparta's military tactics began to fail when Athenian siege engines were used to tear straight through the middle of their densely packed formations? Fascinating, isn't it?

            y'know, that is fascinating. history is replete with lessons for the avid student

            i'm starting to see why so many people who went on to be revolutionaries started out as professors and shit

              History is full of totally based shit that gets glossed over in the kid friendly versions they tell us in the US of A. Like how after Hellen Keller learned how to communicate, she became a worker's rights activist who read Marx in Braille and condemned a textile factory, not because she could see the human rights abuses, but because she could smell them.

                hmmm, it's almost like the ruling class has something to gain from sanitizing the narrative and flushing away the truth :1984:

      Adding to this: Learn how to clean and maintain your firearm. If you are in a gun club get familiar with different firearms by asking to shoot and help clean other member's guns. Get familiar with a variety of firearms if you can. If you cannot afford a rifle but you know a friend that owns one offer to help clean it and take it apart so you can start to know more stuff. (Edit: goes the same way in opposite, if you've never shot a handgun but own a rifle and your friend only has a handgun swap guns at the range and afterward learn together how they both work.) Work together.

        cleaning and maintenance are absolutely vital parts of learning to use a gun. good addition, thank you.

          Thanks for your post too. We're gonna have to speed run a lot of liberals and undecideds on the validity of (if not ownership) familiarity with firearms.
