Donald Trump is “safe following gunshots in his vicinity” Sunday, his campaign said. Officials believe an armed person intended to target the former president, sources say. Follow here for the latest.
I don’t believe that, even in the face of a full coup, (gun) violence will solve any issues. There’s just no way that a majority of people support a violent militia taking over power of the government, no matter how illegitimate some think that government is.
As examples, look at the recent coup attempt in Turkey, or the Wagner uprising in Russia. In both cases the violent uprisings were used by the dictator to cement his power. Guns will not help you.

I don’t know how clear I can be: it’s not a very good measure.
I’m not even saying it’s a good argument.
I’m saying Trump is the best argument for it.
It’s a question of irony. Most hardcore 2a weirdo’s support trump. Yet he’s the best argument for the 2a.
Make sense?
