Time to break free of traditional political ideological labeling and divisions. Time to abandon old, divisive sociopolitical labels like "liberal" and "conservative".

A new political party based on a vastly, commonly held virtures lends itself to embrace over 66% of Americans, and it clearly embraces progressive principled thinking. In the most ideal American sense of unity, a political party should not be able to be defined or placed as "to the left" or "to the right" of where the Democratic or Republican parties currently are. Just let it exist organically based on present-day principled thinking. The American Progressive Majority.

but you will go to jail if you harm someone with them.

So after the suicidal maniac goes on a killing spree at the local elementary school and wipes out a chunk of the next generation, then you send them to jail (and take their guns away? You didn't clarify that part)

Guns are a hobby. They should be a privilege you earn, and one you have to work to keep (don't get in trouble with the law, keep your registration up to date, etc).

The solution to our current situation isn't to go out and kill people, it's to fight legal battles and go out and vote when the time comes. A civil war doesn't guarantee we'll end up with the country you want even if the MAGA army is crushed. It's going to cause immense death and destruction, and it will open us up to attack from our adversaries. It will almost certainly ruin your life, mine, and everyone you know and love.

But even IF a real civil war is inevitable, getting guns and fighting won't be a challenge. Trump has very few allies in the rest of the world, but democracy does. NATO would not just sit and watch while a nuclear power goes through such a destabilizing event, especially when Trump's ties to Putin are so well known.

Your statement is false. Guns are NOT a privilege in the US. They are a constitutional right. Full stop. I didn't even read the rest of your post

lmao, I think you should go make an appointment with an ophthalmologist before you try to finish reading my post.
