I half agree with his gun regulation stance. While ideally there would be more caution given to who owns guns that is unfortunately not the world americans have been living in the last 80 years or so. The fascists have guns, lots of them, and I'm not giving mine up while they have them.

Everything else he said is 100% based.

Well, yeah, fascists having guns is a "randomly giving guns to any moron with a pulse" problem.

Yeah the gun law regulators generally ignore the fact that everyone and their grandma already has guns. And those with guns are not willing to do trade in programs.

I’d like to see better psych eval and requiring to re-license every so often. That should start steering the country in the right direction. Of course I don’t see this happening any time soon.

I think fascists is going too far… they’re crazy and dumb, that’s it.

They attempted a violent coup. They're crazy, dumb, and dangerous

Nah, they're fascists. Maybe not every republican, but a solid 70% or so of them. And a decent chunk of democrats too.
