2025-2026 NFL Season: The Patrick Improvement Plan [ARCHIVED] Football • Page 266

Yeah like in general I believe guns should be much more regulated. This is just kinda recognizing 1. That’s not gonna happen, and 2. We are in a VERY different place now

 

your wish is my command

 

Im just telling Randall what he could do today, not some hypothetical(but maybe true) future. If he or anyone else doesnt want to believe that, then I dont know what else to say.

 

I think we just disagree about what power and ability to affect change an individual has. Yes obviously solidarity and real organizing would be ideal. I don’t see it happening! Sorry!

 

I’m as anti-gun as anyone you will find and I’m even more so anti-Randall owning a gun specifically, but I get the thought and I get the concern.

 

Like don’t get me wrong I still, every single time I’m in a theater, have that slight fear when the door opens. It sucks! I can’t do anything about it

 

Lmao too real

 

I used to be friends with a guy named Alex that played drums in my friends band. He and his dad and brother were built like refrigerators. They run the tombstone company in my hometown

 

I think ICE and the US gov is bad and corrupt and getting worse by the day. I also think Randall owning an unregistered handgun is a bad idea.

 

it’s a great name it means protector of mankind

 

Source?

 

i mean, Sand Creek, Haymarket, Kent State, MOVE bombing, Waco, the Bundy's just to name a few...

 

oh we just making shit up now?

 

lmao i was gonna say "i am specifically anti randall owning a gun" before but chose not to, thankful for dave at this moment.

 

I am trying to be super clear that I would not ever take an unregistered firearm with me ever if I had one. That is one concept I reserve for protection if society’s few rules of engagement stop being a thing and we are no longer worried about cars being registered and shit like that lol. I am not a person who feels like I need to conceal carry to be able to counter crime or anything like that, that’s not the kind of protection I’m talking about. I’m talking about like, the Gestapo is not sending my black ass to Auschwitz lol

 

But if you don’t have it with you when you’re hypothetically being picked off of a street what’s the point here

 

Not trying to tell you how to live your life but this is exactly what the ruling class wants (and I'm sure you know this.) They specifically want white men who at least have privilege to feel completely indifferent that there's nothing we can do. I have been doing a lot of reading on organizing movements over the past 100 years or so and every single one of them starts with a small group getting together to talk about how fucked up shit is, and more often than not, those groups are made up of POC and women who have led the movements that resulted in change. You may not feel like we can do anything, but those groups are out there still to this day and need the support of privileged white men.

 

If it goes that far we are talking about a more hostile society where I become less worried about being seen as non compliant.

 

I'm talking specifically if shit hits the fan in like a doomsday style apocalypse which is generally where 2A nuts go with it lol but yes I acknowledge those happened

 

I apologize for getting carried away. I want to acknowledge I said I was gonna stop twice and then wanted to explain something more again, that’s my fault. I think we’ve gone on this topic enough to where it’s diminishing returns how much more we’ll understand each other. I dont wanna harp on it more than I already have

 

Let’s all do gun training together and go to alexion’s after

 

best idea thats ever come out of this thread

 

I think this is a far more acceptable Randall-rant (sorry I don't mean that to sound infantilizing just can't think of another phrase lol) than any other you've had. You're one of the few POC in this thread so you're going to have a different perspective on this issue that most of us can't understand

 

Alex can instruct
