Onion?
Somebody explain to me how these people arenât the Taliban. The distinction is too fine for me.
Theyâd absolutely be like the Taliban if they could gain sufficient power.
Next time Iâll be a coward and finish my post with /s. Obviously exactly the same as the Taliban.
Dunno if you all remember or experienced this based on how old you are and where you lived, but we lived in a lot of places around the country and when I was a kid and there were places where there was almost nothing but Christian programming on TV (aside from football) and almost nothing open, not even gas stations, on Sunday. And I donât mean like rural Alabama, I mean like suburbs of Portland, Oregon.

This IS the way it will happen. It already has in a few statesâŚ
Red Flag Laws. Hereâs what will happenâŚ
Itâs a Sunday night and your family has all gone to bed. You let the dogs back in and lock the deadbolt like you do every night. All the lights are off now except a couple of night lights scattered throughout the house leaving that dim glow throughout your home. Itâs bedtime and work and school are going to come early in the morning. You crawl in bed, kiss your wife and drift off to sleep being thankful for the air conditioning that allows you to pull that heavy quilt up over your shoulder despite the fact itâs still 85 degrees outside. A few hours passâŚ
0200 Monday morning and your wife taps your leg and says, âbaby I heard something outsideâ. As you sit up in bed you hear the dog growling in the living room and you know something isnât right. You grab that trusty ole 870 and head into the living room. Your wife grabs her 9mm and heads down the hall to the kids rooms just like you have rehearsed. âGood boyâ you say as you enter the living room, trying to calm both the dog and your wife just as splinters fly across the room and the front door flys open. âOh shit!â As you shoulder your weapon and send a load of 00 Buck across your living room and see the perpetrator fall in a heap. Before the âthank Godâ can even run across your brain, you see a second man coming in the door and you fire again. This time you hear the pop of your wifeâs 9mm as she has joined in the fight. It has to be those damn meth heads from down in town! Just then you are consumed by a wall of bullets as you see multiple muzzle flashes from just outside the door and you realize something isnât right. You turn to yell at your wife to âget downâ just in time to see her take a load of buckshot to the face and her brain matter splatter the wall behind her. You feel the burning as 5.56 bullets Riddle your body. One clips your spine as youâre scrambling away and paralyzes your lower body. The last thing you see before you bleed out is a SWAT guy from your local PD holding your teenage daughter on the floor with a knee in her back as she screams and cryâs because she just watched her parents being murdered.
Why did this happen? Youâre no criminal. Youâre a Conservative and an honest family man. Your wife is a school teacher and your daughters are on honor roll. Why did this happen?
Well two days ago, you and your wife went down to welcome the new neighbors to the community. Your wife made them some of her âworld famousâ cookies and you invited them to church on Sunday. Later that afternoon, you got a friend request on Facebook from your new neighbor, which you gladly accepted. They seemed a little odd, but in the few minutes you talked they were pleasant enough. The next day while you and your family sat in church, your new neighbor scrolled through your Facebook profile. He saw that âTrump 2020â post and got infuriated. See, heâs a staunch liberal and he hates your kind. The next thing he sees are the hunting pictures you took last fall when your daughter bagged her first buck. Now heâs seething with fury because he is wholeheartedly against the âslaughter of innocent animalsâ. Next he sees your post from the last range day with your buddy and sees those scary black assault weapons on the table and that does it! He has to do something about the racist domestic terrorist living next door. He picks up the phone, calls the local Sheriffs Office and reports you as a threat under the new Red Flag law. The SO follows their SOPâs and conducts a no knock warrant because you have now been denied due process and you are considered guilty until proven innocent.
Now you, your lovely wife and two deputies have been killed for nothing. Your daughter will have absolute hell for the rest of her life. She will never be that successful person you dreamed for her to be because of the mental tragedy caused from seeing her parents murdered. The local news paper will report that you were killed after firing on and killing two deputies and that âover a thousand rounds of ammo and 22 guns were confiscated from your residenceâ.
Oh, those two deputies were just following orders. They left behind families as well and had served their community for over a decade. They didnât know you were a stand-up guy with a great family. They werenât allowed time to investigate things under due process. They were told you had threatened your neighbor and were out in the street waving an AR15 around.
This is the reality of Red Flag gun laws. Innocent people will lose their lives. Red Flag laws will be used for petty and vengeful reasons without merit.
Do not forget that ALL gun laws are an infringement of your rights!
Now these idiots are fantasizing about scenarios where they die? Thatâs a new twist.
No it isnât. Martyrdom fantasies help assholes justify their assholery.
Total fantasy land
Yeah but remember when Ilhan Omar said 9/11 didnât justify bigotry and discrimination against American Muslims?
This story gets even crazier. That wasnât even the only kid she tried to murder that day:
Canât they at least spell âmentallyâ correctly?
transdimensional baby was born in the middle east 2019 years ago so that comfortable people today donât have to think about or learn any lessons from the genocide and slavery their country was built on.
Itâs dark memes.
I feel like more people would take offense/ get triggered to/by Happy Holidays than Merry Christmas.
I live in a really red town full of MAGAts. Every time a stranger (store clerk, etc) says Merry Christmas, I just reply with Happy Hanukkah and a smile.
Usually they look sheepish, but not always
