    Graham Platner — who’s running to try to flip the seat long held by Republican Susan Collins — not only joined the Socialist Rifle Association but even taught a “defensive handgun course” for its members.

    Anyone complaining about this in 2025, is a fucking idiot.

    They might be a “useful idiot” for the oligarchs, or just plain stupid on their own.

    But at this point every responsible American should own and be familiar with firearms.

    Freedom isn’t free, and pretending it is will only diminish freedoms.

      The only reason I don’t own a firearm is I have a loved one in the house with suicidal ideation. Broadly, I agree with you.
