    The Venn diagram of people who own > 3 guns “for home defense” yet think Ukraine should just let the invaders keep their gains is probably highly overlapped.

      That’s a delusional take. I know a dozen people who collect guns irl and all of them as well as every self-professed pro-gun person has stated that they not only support Ukraine but that it pretty much proves everything they’ve said, that when hostile forces started kicking down Ukranian doors, it was the ready supply of weapons that allowed Ukraine to defend itself.

        I live in a rural area, and pro-gun people are pretty spit here between Russian bootlickers and Ukraine supporters. The Ukraine supporters seem to have some delusion about civilian owned firearms being a major player in the war rather than the government flinging open old Soviet stockpiles and recruiting people en masse for territorial defense units. Better than being a genocide apologist, at least.
