Per judge winebox, it's now legal to open carry long guns in DC. Fine, until the black panthers show up and have their firearms taken from them because they're black (you fucking take that to the bank that will happen).

At that point, either the whole thing matters, or it doesn't and Alex Jones and his loons get the white state they've always wanted (instead of the one they've been saying they want since goldwater.

2nd amendment isn't my favorite, but it's there and I think this will end up being a test case for how much actual power we still have.
If armed citizens are what will stop extra-legal kidnappings, and prevent this admin screwing around with elections, then I'm on board with the goon squads knowing damn well we can shoot back.
Those 2 dead morons in Texas are a good example.
