    The second amendment freaks never wanted to topple an oppressive government, they wanted to shoot their neighbors that they don’t like. All that talk was just cover for “I’m a giant pussy with no social skills who can’t be trusted to be part of the social contract.”

    Why do you think The Walking Dead was so popular? They get to pretend all their neighbors are “zombies” that they have every right to kill because they consider them (us) as unthinking monsters. It’s always projection.

        It’s possible for multiple different groups of people to be fans of the same thing for different reasons.

            No, he didn’t. He said, effectively, that “second amendment freaks are Walking Dead fans.” That does not imply the reverse, that “Walking Dead fans are second amendment freaks.”
