I agree 100% with you. I have 4 guns to my name and the last one I bought was an AR because I happen to believe that it's my constitutional rights as an American to bear arms and secondly, I made a vow many years ago as a junior in College when my friends and I almost got lynched by Nazis in Cicero which is a town just West of Chicago. If not for God's grace, all of us would have been dead. That was when I said to myself that when I come of age, I will get a weapon to protect myself and I did exactly that when my wife had my first daughter. I believe that I am not a man if I cannot protect my children and wife. Owning a gun for over 20 years and I have never shot at anyone except in the shooting range but i will shoot someone to defend my family. It's the thugs and the deplorables in the Fruited Plains with illegal guns causing all the noise.

That constitutional right is the reason guns will never leave America.

The only suggestion is mental evaluation of the bearers. There are too many unstable people nowadays. Whether it's GMO foods causing it or additives in something consumed or too much wokery, the number of unwell is staggering. You will need guns to protect yourself from them.

I've lived in places where it was necessary to own a gun because the criminals you are up against had them. But there were never instances of mass killings because of that. The guns were for protection, not threatening.

Historian wonders: Is Joe Biden "a speed bump on the fascists' march to power"?
Historian Benjamin Carter Hett on Jan. 6 as Trump's Beer Hall Putsch — and how to reclaim democracy from fascists

n Jan. 6, Donald Trump's Big Lie about a stolen election turned kinetic, and inspired an attempted coup against American democracy. At the very least, Republicans aided and abetted Trump's coup attempt and the attack on the U.S. Capitol, and some of them are likely co-conspirators in his plot. They have pledged to prevent an independent investigation into the events of Jan. 6, and are continuing their assault on democracy by imposing a new form of Jim Crow-style apartheid across the county. Their goal: winning and keeping power by preventing Black and brown people and other key Democratic constituencies from exercising their right to vote.

As part of their commitment to overthrowing America's multiracial democracy, the Jim Crow Republicans continue to amplify and weaponize Trump's Big Lie. Public opinion polls and other research have repeatedly shown that this disinformation propaganda strategy is highly effective. Trump's cult members remain in thrall to their Great Leader and eagerly await his return by any means necessary, legal or otherwise.

The past is not always a perfect prologue. But when the past echoes so loudly in the present one would be wise not to ignore it. History's bell is ringing loudly in the Age of Trump in America.

In a recent essay for the Los Angeles Times, historian Benjamin Carter Hett explored the frightening resonances between Adolf Hitler's attempted coup in Germany in 1923 (what has come to be known as the "Beer Hall Putsch" and Trump and his followers' coup attempt this past January:

Hitler learned his lesson: A sophisticated modern state could not be overturned by a violent coup led by outsiders, against the police and the army. He realized he would have to work within the system.

Over the following decade, this is exactly what he did. The Nazis ran in elections until they were the largest party in Germany's parliament, gridlocking legislative business. Even more insidiously, the Nazis worked to infiltrate crucial institutions like the police and the army. In 1931, Berlin police responded incredibly sluggishly to a massive Nazi riot in the center of the city. It turned out senior police officials silently sympathized with the Nazis and had colluded in hobbling the police response.

Hitler grew steadily more attractive to business and military leaders who saw him and his movement as their only salvation from the growing Communist Party. Early in 1933 they opened the doors of power to him. ...

After the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol, 139 Republican members of the House and eight members of the Senate, led by Sens. Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz, came out of hiding to vote to object to the electoral college vote count. While a police officer lay dying, they supported Trump's lie of a stolen election and embraced the insurrectionists' cause.

Hett then engages in a particularly disturbing what-if scenario, one that has troubled many people familiar with the patterns of history:

Imagine the events of the past weeks and months if someone like Hawley had been the secretary of state in Georgia, or someone like retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn held a significant military command. Imagine what would have happened if the Republicans held majorities in both houses of Congress and could have overturned the electoral college results. Imagine if the courts had been more generously stocked with judges willing to entertain the Trump campaign's ludicrous arguments.

Above all, imagine if the president had been a bit more competent, a bit more strategic, a bit more daring. Hitler, after all, was at least willing to be present at the violence his words inspired. He was also more persuasive in his dealings with important officials.

Ultimately, Trump's coup attempt and the attack on the Capitol were little more than a trial run. With the Republican Party's rejection of democracy, the events of Jan. 6 will not seem like an outlier or aberration for long. Instead, they offer a preview of how today's Republican Party will respond when and if it loses future elections.

The Nazi and Klan loving coons here on Nairaland will not like your post. They worship the vile Racist Orange Pig like their salvation depends on it. That's the real Con man they love for his lies and scamming. Thank God is indictment by Mr Cy Vance is loading.

I agree 100% with you. I believe majority of people packing in US do not do it for fun but life in US is unique because you don't know what will come to you in few minutes stepping out of your house. I have seen a minor fender bender in Chicago turned to a shootout. Real scary especially now because it wasn't this bad 20, 25 years ago.

AmazonTopaz:


@bold,that is why the culture of gun obsession needs to stop.Everybody mustn't have a gun.
You don't stop crimes by having more guns.

You need a gun to confront a person coming at you with a gun. It's not a position anyone wants to be in, but it's better to be prepared than not.

Recent mental evaluation is needed prepurchase to reduce such incidents. Gone are the days when road rage involved flipping the bird

Ban it.

It will never happen. Any politician that supports that better come from a very liberal district. If not, his or her political career is done.

PrideofLincoln2:
Like I said, I am not the cause of your woes and misfortunes in life. Go to your village elders and ask for forgiveness. I am fortunate to be able to do whatever I like whenever I like because I have worked my butt off not depending on my parents. You are so pained to come on my mentions when I am not even thinking of a nonentity like you. I am way above you in all the measuring scales of life. You can foam in the mouth all you want, you are what you are and I am what I am. Keep googling and find out some more things about the schools I attended and the neighborhood I grew up in. I have put everything out for you and I bet you there's nothing in your pathetic life to put out except being obsessed about a country you only know in your dreams.

Yes, of course. I also donated $1.3 billion in 2010 to the Haiti relief cause. But I was "anonymous" though. Since we are typing out our fantasies on the pages of Nairaland.

You lied about where you worked and work now (even though nobody asked) 'cause you are so used to those active on this thread taking you at face value. You forgot the outlier - me! You didn't take that into consideration. Your fault.

I stated I'm on to you yesterday. You're walking on egg shells now. You're being extra careful since I posted the last one evidencing I am following you up on every thing you claimed and the meanings in between. Jittery? The issue with lies is, at some point you can no longer keep track of your contradictory claims.

Not a thousand moderators would stop me. I have no attachment to any moniker. Neither would I deactivate any even if I abandon it. No leash whatsoever. No even if you summon the platform's owner to this thread. The sun would have to freeze over and compress into an ice cube before I stop going at you.

For months (?) you have gone on lie a mád dog, someone has to domesticate you. The universe chose me to do this to you. It's not personal.

I'm Nemesis' agent and you are in the process of discovering how focused I am when driving a point home, fráudster.

I am in agreement with you totally. Will get rid of my guns if that law can be enacted nationwide but it will never see the light of the day. One thing you have to understand is that Gun is part and parcel of American life.

True that,maybe I can reside there when they take care of their gun and police problem.

Reside there I can't even imagine visiting! Got as far as Mexico City once. Spent a whole year there and never once thought of visiting cowboy gunslinging USA. Was busy I guess, when I think about it now, and it was too close to 9/11 for my comfort.

Mexico is just as bad as US. My Sister used to live in San Diego and my Brother in Law and I used to drive to San Ysidro and deeper into Mexico. Those drug warlords and their assassins do strike anytime. If you can visit Mexico, you will be fine in the Fruited Plains.

There is one fly in the ointment foiling there plans and that's the likes of vigilant yourself and my darling Stacy Abrams diligently using democracy to foil their nazi attempts. If Flynn or the likes had tried in Georgia what was suggested, USA would still be on fire and we the rest of the world would have had to send in Nato, UN, Russia and China to help put it out for you all.

budaatum:


I can't either. My Britishness will get me shot in week one when police disrespects me. We just don't do American police rudeness down here in Blighty, no respectful person would put up with it.

I can just about imagine myself getting deported at the airport when an immigration or customs official is not exactly courteous not to talk of them being outright rude!

We don't do that in the great White North too. I remember going back to talk to a cop who was sat in his patrol vehicle after being given a ticket by the same cop for over speeding. The cop took his time to explain where I can go to contest the ticket. He even apologized for giving me the ticket. We love to apologize a lot in Canada. I would surely get shot if I walked up to a cop in a vulnerable position like that in the US.

To be candid with you, I don't want him to be indicted but it's fine with me. I want him to run in 2024 so he can totally wreck the RepubliKKKan Party. We are mobilizing already for 2022 because we have seen the difference between a sane President Biden and a demagogue named Trump.

Mexico City was not bad at all actually. No citizens on streets with guns to start with, and even the kidnappers did not carry, though no one kidnapped me.

I'm sure I'd be fine despite my exaggerating. Police never bother me here nor anywhere else I've been so I doubt they would bother me anywhere I go. The intelligence that flows out my mouth works wonders I find, though I don't quite know how it would work against an ignorant fool with a gun except in Nigeria where he was in military and I knew his CO.

But you do not understand, you just think you do, and you intentionally lie to convince yourself that you do understand because anyone who can read can clearly see I never said nor meant "WHITES WILL CHOOSE THEM OVER AFRICAN AMERICANS BECAUSE THEY DID NOT KNOW ABOUT SLAVERY", but which is how you misunderstand what I wrote.

Talk to me after you've spent some money educating yourself ben, though I still expect you not to get it.

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/figure/10.1080/00224545.2019.1687415

If you spent money you would have paid for the article. From the abstract you read. What was the reasons they gave why employers see African Americans more negatively? When you are ready dig up those reasons and let's discuss. As it is you haven't read what you ask me to read.

So spend money to educate yourself first then educate me.

PS. I will be waiting to see where they state the reason below

Still trying to throw off the scent. That's the point you don't realize. It's no longer about a scent so you can't throw it off. It's like a tracker being implanted in you. Hide or fly, bath or run, it's zoned on you regardless.

Nobody asked you to. You asked for my account for $500 to prove a point (like all fraudstèrs who typically have low self-esteem and are always trying to compensate for something) that you are 'rich'.

I asked you to pick any of the claims for help by the needy in the Nairaland Family Section, even anonymously since that's your concern.

No, I work hard and earn legally to throw money randomly to prove a point to a fraudster who is three minutes away from emptying a poor widows life savings with the click of a few buttons. There are extended family members who would need that help so I keep my resources to that.

The spotlight is on you. You're the one who has been making claims of owning trillions and vacationing on the moon. All I have been doing is fact-checking your lies. Take center stage.

This is the current situation of things:

1. You mentioned (without being asked) where you worked and who owns the firms, I brought evidence to prove you were lying, with links.

2. You claimed, when disgraced, you'd give out $500 randomly to me. I asked you to give to a charity cause ON NAIRALAND. Donate the $500 first, then we move on to your next "challenge".

Everything began here. Whoever would benefit from it has to be a Nairaland user who is desperately in need of it (and there are many in dire situations, some have been verified by the moderators).

So, PrideofLincoln2, what's it going to be? Stay true to nature as scheming fraudstèr whose words mean the exact opposite or a fôôl drunk on hubris? You can be both.

Scheming son of drug mule!

I will triple any amount you want to wager to go to a charity in Lagos supervised by the Mods and PDPGUY. Put up or shut up okrika wearing, yellow eyes, brown teeth Nazi lover.

I want him to run too. I'd even be RepubliKKKan if I could to support him in the primaries, but I do not think he'd be so stupid to bother and I doubt the Republicans will nominate him in the end. The primaries with him in it will destroy them enough not to talk of the presidential campaign that would follow.

He may not be on twitter anymore but there's enough of his archived tweets to be dragged up to drown him in plus the stench of the half a million that died on his watch.

America can just not possibly be dumb enough for him again.

Salford, he sure did. In all my years of voting, never waited outside in a freezing Chicago windy weather for two hours. I was about to say fvck it but my wife said we have to wait it out.
