      Meh, the truth is we lost a Vietnam of Americans to gun deaths this year. 50k people dead. That happened every year now the last twenty years

      That is one million Americans dead. Please tell all those dead people and all the people who lost their loved ones that we need these guns to protect against facism.

      We have moar guns than any other nation. We have moar fucking guns than people. Yet we are surrounded by fascists and need moar guns!

      I mean at some point you just need a stupidity check.

        At least 35M people died fighting the most major war against fascism. I guess that makes my cause more important.

          Wealthy private American citizens funded the Nazi party. After the Nazi rose to power these same individuals lobbied world governments to not accept the exiled Jews thus sentencing them to eventual death. The US finally sides against the AXIS and comes in killing a shit ton of civilians.

          Yeah 60m+ died because of our actions for sure. I don’t think it is the lesson you think it is.
