I can’t imagine what it must be like going through life being afraid of everything all the time and also having a fantasy in which you get to kill someone.
It’s not fear. The guy in the picture walks around with guns because he wants to, not because he’s scared. He wants to be challenged. He wants to be able to pull out his gun and shoot someone.
These people are not “scared” as much as they want to be feared.
They want an excuse to kill. That’s it.
I’m surrounded by it in Texas and you’re 100% correct. These guys fetishize their guns and the idea of killing people. You’ll note after being around a 2A nut that they aren’t discussing things that worry them. Most of the language that you hear is along the lines of “I wish they would” or “I’d pop a motherfucker for trying that”.
They are genuinely looking for an excuse to legally murder someone and you should not feel safe around them.
It’s still fear. They’re just hiding their fear behind machismo. Like bullies always do.
Science disagrees with you:
“Specifically, the research shows that people with conservative tendencies have a larger amygdala and a smaller anterior cingulate than other people. The amygdala – typically thought of as the “primitive brain” – is responsible for reflexive impulses, like fear. The anterior cingulate is thought to be responsible for courage and optimism. This one-two punch could be responsible for many of the anecdotal claims that conservatives “think differently” from others.”
They want to be feared because they live in fear themselves. That’s why these assholes keep murdering people for pulling into their driveway by mistake. They’re terrified all the time. Conservative media has made them fear everything and they think the only answer is to show that they’re tougher than everyone else.
They want to be feared
They also confuse people being in fear of them with people respecting them.
I’ve noticed recently a lot of conservative 2A people using the phrase “be ready to flip the switch” a lot recently. Usually it’s in the context of flipping the switch to killing people. And it always seems to be in a domestic context–they aren’t talking about enlisting in a foreign war.
Not wrong, but the foundation for that is also form of “fear”, the wish to be feared stems from the inner fear of looking weak and vulnerable. This is not a person who’s at ease with himself or of the path he’s chosen. He’s hurting, a lot. Even knowing all this, it’s still hard to feel empathy because of the way he chooses to deal with his psychological issues.
Just your regular US “conservative”.
😭😭😭oBaMa BiN lADIn Is GoNnA tAkE mAh GuNs😭😭😭
My neighbor is “that guy.”
Doesn’t leave his house or even answer the door without a gun.
Very nice guy, just terrified of… stuff?
My brother has a neighbor who regularly yells crazy rants at the neighbors on his lawn while holding his gun in the air. The cops have been called and claim they can do nothing. This would be in Atlanta, so I’m not exactly shocked…
A friend that I’ve known for like fifteen years - I found out last year that he has guns. He just doesn’t ever talk about them.
Same here. Knew a guy who conceal carried with a license for like 4 years before I ever found out. People who truly do it for defense rarely want people to know they have it.
And they’re so fkin somber about them too.
“Doesn’t it make you feel powerful?”
‘Not at all.’
You can’t convince me this guy doesn’t have some form of mental illness.
I carry when I can. But concealed inside the waistband like a responsible fucking adult. You’re absolutely right
I always see open carry as a large target. IF I was the bad guy, I would go for the people with visible guns first.
It’s called living in rural 'Murica.
Bro, even the reddest of rednecks knows better than to stick a gun in the back of their jeans. Absent everything else, it’s a good way to get killed with your own gun.
Something is wrong beyond culture with this dude.
Just remember that guy is like 5 times more likely to kill himself (or accidentally kill someone else) than to use one of those guns in a legitimate self defense scenario…
Guns = 3, Ass = 0
Ignoring the gun violence crisis in America aspect, people who make 1 single thing their entire personality are so annoying. You like guns, whatever. But you now have to always be wearing one and even your clothes need to always feature guns!? Trying to talk to this dude about anything else must be exhausting…
Don’t worry, I’m sure he’d be happy to talk about his political views.
SLEEPY JOE HAD TOO MUCH ENERGY! HE’S ON THAT CHINA 5G VACCINE! NANCY PELOSI! COMMUNISM! MURICA WENT DOWN THE DRAIN WHEN BROWN PEOPLE! ANTIFA DID 9/11! BLACK LIVES MATTER IS IRANIAN PSYOPS!
We all know his politics lol
Also the eternal question, “does this truck make my penis look small?”
Nah, your penis makes your penis look small
I bet he has lots of other interests. He’s just really afraid of people too, so he needs to let everyone know he has guns so they won’t pick on him.
Such a dainty snowflake packaged into a giant, soft body LOL.
You’re a poet.
“Thought I got out unscathed… But looks like a damn liberal SHIT my pants again!”
Oh how I wish these people would actually experience the armed showdown with the US government they all crave. I need that drone footage. Oh the juicy videos from 1000ft above of Skeeter and his J6 posse disappearing in a cloud of smoke like ants.
Are you suggesting the US government will drone strike US neighborhoods?
OP may not be suggesting that but I am. They did exactly that and would do it again if they “needed” to.
If suggesting means “wanting to see” then yes. Unless of course those people get off the Maga cult and become human again. The chances of which are slim. They are not Americans anymore anyway, they pledged allegiance to the new global fascist movement. So they need to be dealt with appropriately
Real men open carry by walking around shirtless with a gun gaffer taped to their shoulder blade so if a terrorist ever tells them to put their hands behind their head they can pop one off when they don’t expect
Yippee Ki-Yay Mother Fucker !
I hate everyone
Even McClain only had one gun, and he had to take it off someone.
Ho ho ho…
TBS: Yippee Ki-Yay Margaret Thatcher!
Look how curled up/ stressed out his hands have become. Dudes on edge 24/7. Also kinda looking like Farva from super troopers which is awesome to think about.
Just get him a 2 liter of cola
At least that’s a revolver he’s packing. He’ll be limited to six shots with that before reloading, and not some ridiculous number like nine or sixteen.
After all, if you cannot solve a non-military, non-combat problem with six shots or less, you are unlikely to solve it with more.
five if he’s practicing safe gun handling and keeping the hammer on an empty cylinder.
But considering the fact that he has it stuffed in his ass crack, who are we kidding. Yeah…it’s six.
That was important in 1873. It’s 2024 and modern guns have extra safety features.
Old revolvers had the firing in on the hammer and could fire if they were dropped and landed on an uncooked hammer. For most of the past century, however, the firing pin has been separate from the hammer and that kind of drop-fire is impossible.
Guy’s still a dumbass, but every time someone says something so outlandishly incorrect it just gives ammunition to right-wing nut jobs who love to point out how little the other side knows about firearms.

I have some bad news for you. https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2018/06/investigates/sig-sauer-p320-drop-fire/
That model was one of the most popular service pistols - LOADS and LOADS of them out there. That is also not the only model with drop-fire problems… Remington 700s will unintentional discharge as well:

There are others I cannot recall.
It’s a problem.
Since these are not revolvers, they don’t add to the point of carrying on an empty cylinder.
Outside of the revolver discussion, it’s important to note that both of these examples were the result of QA issues that have since been corrected.
note t
But since you have a fixation with revolvers … here ya go: https://www.guns.com/news/2018/09/17/rossi-safety-warning-some-revolvers-may-fire-if-dropped
Like I said. drop-firing still a problem.
Firstly, I don’t have an obsession with revolvers; it’s just that you responded to a conversation specifically about design changes in revolvers that mitigated the need to carry on empty cylinder.
Secondly, this is another example of a limited QA issue that has since been corrected with a recall. It doesn’t seem to indicate that a modern revolver with properly functioning parts would be dangerous to carry with all cylinders loaded. Otherwise, are you to say all airbags are dangerous just because of the Takata/Honda issue that killed some people when the airbags exploded?
Left and right holster don’t look like revolvers, and he’s probably gotta backup stuffed under a fat roll upfront.
Nah, look at those pants and that stance; dude’s got cold steel between those cheeks.
“The only men I let inside me are Jesus, and Smith & Wesson YEEEEHAW BROTHER!”
Judging by the complete lack of any shape to the pants I’m not sure he actually has any cheeks to speak of.
