Last Outpost

I was of the mindset that owning a gun would be more likely to do harm than good (and I still somewhat believe that, especially if you live in a household with kids).

I realize I should have voted for the lesser of two evils even though I knew it wouldn't make a difference in the NV election. I voted in all the other elections that year, but still I'm sorry). So now we have an obvious gestapo force (ICE & Border Patrol) waging war against Americans, most notably in Minnesota. As I sit here comfortably in my home, I feel guilty knowing that a second conscientious observer has been flat-out MURDERED by ICE in Minneapolis. If you feel the same way I do, then I don't know what the fuck to say. I know almost no one will read this blog, but if my position here actually angers you and you think that Trump's crackdown is justified, then I would ask you to please make a cri...
