Elon Musk most likely upset anti-gunners at Everytown and Giffords this weekend with his post on X, stating, “As tragic as the mass shootings are, armed citizens are essential to the defense of democracy.”
Musk’s comment was in response to an X user named “End Wokeness,” who highlighted, “The past 3+ years have been one long infomercial for the 2nd amendment.”

End Wokeness listed a series of events, including Covid lockdowns and lawless metro areas, as some of the reasons why law-abiding Americans panic-bought guns in recent years.
According to the latest data from the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which serves as a proxy for gun sales, because there is no national database tracking firearm purchases, gun demand surged during the early days of Covid. It continued erupting as Black Lives Matter protests/riots sparked concern for safety among millions of Americans. Gun demand has since plunged since panic buying was merely a bubble.
Musk’s pro-2A comments might spark anger among anti-gunners at Everytown and Giffords. Also, the White House’s ‘Gun Czar‘ Vice President Kamala Harris might not be thrilled with the billionaire.

However, tens of millions of Americans will ignore Democrats’ cries to ban guns as their disastrous policies in metro areas and the southern border have transformed parts of the country into lawless hellholes.

“It’s encouraging to see Elon Musk and many others finally understanding what a gift our Founding Fathers gave us with the Second Amendment. The right to keep and bear arms empowers individuals to protect themselves, their families, and their communities from tyranny,” said Aidan Johnston, Director of Federal Affairs of Gun Owners of America.
Additionally, many people got a wake-up call after Hamas terrorists killed hundreds of unarmed Israelis last week. We penned this note, “Israel Shows Why Americans Have Right To “Weapons Of War” For Self-Defense.”
Watch this terrifying video taken by Hamas terrorists as they enter the home of a family in a peaceful Kibbutz.
Watch how they walk around looking to slaughter and kidnapp whomever they find.
This is not a video game.
This was the reality of hundreds of families!

If I could afford a Barrett I’d have one. Not a big Elon fan, but have to agree with him here.
It’s kinda funny, the only other guy I know who has a Barrett .50, is a rich phukr who probably doesn’t know how to use it.
Its feeding it that gets pricey . And heavy. Must be either in a static position or mounted on a vehicle.
They are a bit heavy for sure. They do carry them around in the service though. Would love to have some sort of a tripod mount and they do make them.
Oh, and forgot, being able to reload for it helps. Meant to say that to start.
I never saw anyone toting a Barrett in the army. Maybe special operations have them. We had the M2 Ma Duece much better. The MK19 beats em both.
Go to the range and practice like your life depends on it, because it does/will.
There is an undeclared army walking across and being invited across the border by treasonous satanic cultists bent on destroying the idea of freedom.
Are you ready??
Democracy.
Wasn’t there a meme on FF accurately citing gang rape as an example of democracy?
Funny how gun ownership is the only thing the left punish the law abiding for the actions of criminals.
They also scream about saving lives and to “think of the children”; yet don’t give a crap about car accidents, drowning and medical malpractice which claim the lives of children far higher. With all the crap that’s been pulled on us just in the last 3 years and the constant calls for White genocide, it makes you wonder what else they have planned and how fast they’d move without an armed society.
Wish he’d re-open Twitter to how it was before he hired that bitch Yaccarino to run it.
This sounds great. Be very very careful concerning Elon. He is trying to coopt the libertarian movement with his money, lots and lots of money.
My daughter is a probation officer in Illinois. From what she tells me, It is an absolute fact that gun charges are almost never prosecuted against black criminals. Those laws are there to prosecute white supremacists.
Notice the AK47s? Wonder who the guys with the M16 variants were? Have certainly seen Israelis using M16 Variants.
You are your first line of defense.
I was in Lowe’s getting a new light fixture. It was self check-out and I punched in my Military discount. The lady that approved my Mil discount asked what I was carrying. I told her a full size Glock 10mm. She thanked me for my military service and her protection while I was around. She also winked at me. I am at least 35 years older than she was but it gave me a ego boost that felt good all afternoon.
