/r/ChapoTrapHouse encourages buying guns to shoot Republicans. But the community is worried that their many mentally ill members may instead just keep themselves safe

designate one person in your group the person with whom all the guns are stored

This *sounds* like they're forming armies... but in reality, it's just because they're afraid they might kill themselves if they have access to their own guns.

Oh but they're not crazy. Nooo.

They want guns so they can attack and take away the rights of others

We want guns to defend and protect our rights

What being brainwashed looks like.

I want to see a sub pop up in 10 years that covers all the stupid shit these 18yr old puppets posted. "man, I was such a dummy, I got used by the political machine for their gain, I said some dumb stuff"

Don't recommend having a gun around if you've got ideations, no matter how cool your internet buddies say it is. Introduce yourself to the wide range of less than lethal options in the world. Then stick a bunch of rails to them and attach a laser sight and a flashlight, and you're pretty much doing what you were going to in the first place.

With the Portland shit yesterday and the right wing chud freaks wanting bloodshed in any form against the left we need to have guns.

The "Portland shit" that **antifa started**?

Currently these fucking freaks are the large majority of gun owners in this country, if they want war we can’t win without weapons and if you think the military would be on an anti-fascist side you’re insane.

And there's the equivocation. "Antifa isn't actually an ideology and movement, it's just the idea of opposing fascism!"

In conclusion, if you can buy guns buy them, we can’t win a war by being martyr’s so lets make sure we don’t go out by the republicans.

I don't want to see you morons try, but if you do, and kill someone, I can't wait for the media to try and spin the situation.

It’s weird how these hardcore socialists always have a good percentage of their groups talking about having mental health issues.

Wonder if socialists just have higher rates of mental issues or if they claim mental health issues to use as a bat against people who challenge them in any way.

I almost feel sorry for the hosts of that show. You start a leftist "comedy" show and your fans turn on you and talk lots of crazy shit online with your show's name attached.

I actually support these idiots buying guns.

Maybe, for once, they'll actually learn something about guns and the gun laws in this country.

Anybody got a link to a good recap of what happened in Portland? I'm assuming somebody had a rally or talk and Antifa showed up to try and get it shut down but got their asses kicked as usual.

This is fucking scary.

At Portland a lot of Antifa had loaded magazines confiscated. I think Antifa already has guns somewhere.

Something I noticed over the years on my social media feeds was the people who were Antigun also post about their mental health problems. They know they themselves cannot be trusted therefore no one else can be trusted too.
