   Rights must be demanded and defended constanrly, otherwise some tin pot dictator will take them without much of a fight.

   Do you what your rights or not?

      The thing is in America we had people who will 'use their guns to defend rights' and we had 'the other'.

      The propagandist currently in control of the government has the people who will use their guns to defend their rights (which are currently and successfully being swiftly taken away) under his thumb. And the other are patiently waiting their turn at the post to make as much money as possible under Gavin Newsom.

      Its more realistic to look at the situation as a leadership team during layoffs, except the layoffs are the American electorate.

         I was really curious and looked it up. Gun owners went for Trump 2:1 in 2024. I thought it would have been higher tbh.

            You don't have to be a redneck moron to enjoy the things you can do that require a gun. There's plenty of hunters and sports shooters that realize that the authoritarians will eventually restrict guns to keep themselves safe.
