Funny, in my state the Dems are the ones who have the majority of firepower. This is according to a teaparty State Trooper who lived down the street and moved.
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who has a long history of touting white nationalism, has taken his meme game to a violent new level.
The disgraced lawmaker ― who was unceremoniously stripped of all his committee assignments earlier this year for previous white nationalist rhetoric ― shared a graphic that imagined another civil war, this time between red and blue states.
One side has about 8 trillion bullets, while the other side doesnt know which bathroom to use, states the meme, shared on one of Kings verified Facebook pages.
Wonder who would win... added King, apparently not noticing that his home state was actually depicted on the losing side.Link to tweet

The Blue states are also the ones who fund those socialist Red States.
Who would be their nannies if funding were cut off?

Besides the old, you can only fire one gun at a time and be accurate issue, Dems strategically purchase their guns and don't feel the need to hoard them. We also sit silently back, observing the teabaggers, and know exactly who will be an issue.

Gotta give him credit, he's working really hard to be the worst person he can possibly be.

(32,073 posts)Apparently, he didn't notice that his fellow Iowans also own bullets. And, guns. As do the people in the states he is mocking. I'd like to see him walk the streets of Chicago's southside without armed guards. He doesn't have the guts. What a piece of shit.

I have to fight an urge to want to move out of Iowa he, Reynolds, Ernst, Grassley, and so on pipe up.

Good luck shooting those guns when those welfare payments dry up and you're too poor to eat or keep a roof over your heads.
The stupidity is astonishing.

Most seem to barely know where the bang switch is.

(2,223 posts)We may have the majority now, but that could easily change if Repugs start thinning our numbers through violence or through the law. Some Repugs are elected officials so they know who is and who isn't a Democrat. If we fight them head on they could use that as propoganda to ramp up their base. Many Dems wouldn't want to fight so our fighting force will be way less than the otherside. Guerrila warfare is our only option there I guess. If we don't want to fight at all maybe Dems in heavy red states should think about moving into heavy blue ones so that Repugs would have second thoughts about attacking.
