Reminder that as Governor of California, Reagan pushed through the most restrictive gun control in the country at the time, with the support of the NRA, in response to the Black Panthers.
He mispronounced 'Ni**er' as 'Civilian'... We know what he meant, never mentioned 2nd amendment rights until he was terrified by images of POC with guns instead of White guys in sheets with guns... Fuck that bigoted shitstain, may he rot in Hell if there is one...
Iffy rhetoric. America needs a serious overhaul of its gun control laws, the most vulnerable of its citizens (children) suffer immensely under the current status quo. With that in mind, a mass disarmament would not be carried out in good faith and should be resisted.
Though frankly, I'm very skeptical of the American notion that the guns are there to oppose government tyranny. Most pro-gun Americans seem to be pro-tyranny.
No, people should absolutely not carry firearms on the streets. That is incredibly unsafe for EVERYONE. People are idiots, and hot-tempered, and if lots of them have firearms then you just have more people getting shot and killed for no goddamn reason. Open carry is one of the dumbest ideas that exists. Even the notoriously lawless "Wild West" didn't let people open carry.
Look, if we just hug the police officers, then they would discover they have humanity and empathy, and they'd stop raping prostitutes, shooting unarmed black men, and breaking the law during and after every arrest.
It's so very American to think guns will solve any countries internal problems. And yet all the most happy countries in the world do not have an armed population. They have an armed military to use against external treat and a government, who helps the poor...
The only thing arming a population of a country does is make every one in the country unsafe.. #waves at police officer death leading to police killing ppl. Mass shootings, school shootings, massive general gun violence and suicides.
BUT ONLY A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN CAN STOP A BAD GUY WITH A GUN! Except for all those good guys WITHOUT guns that do it. Or y'know stopping the bad guy from getting a gun in the first place.
I'm often reminded of a story where someone pulled out a gun to shoot someone in public. 5 people around had guns and shot at him... killing an innocent bystander and wounding several others.
sure but I doubt Norway has Musk, Bezos, Sam Altman, Dario Amodai, Staya Nadala, Sundar Pichai,Sam Bankman Fried, Koch and other billionaires putting constantly record breaking money into their elections. Nor do they have a Christian cult (Premillennialism) in power who believe they can bring back Jesus by killing or occupying every country in the Middle East. Or a different cult in power who believe that their possible ancestry gives them the right to occupy the whole Middle East.
Kind of. These are cults (cult of billionaire worship, cult of Premenial Dispentionalism, cult of Zionism, cult of white supremacy) and they are in control of the most powerful country in the world and in control of most mass media. They will keep coming, Barri Weiss does not go away when Trump does, not does Stephen Miller or Mike Huckabee. I personally don't have any guns nor do I know how to use one but I hope other leftists who are more mentally able to wield them have them.
That’s the justification for most people with guns in the US (self defense). And yet, the statistics repeatedly show those guns are more likely to be used against you (or a family member). The idea that you need a gun is why everyone looks at the US and thinks they’re insane.
If you google that stat, you find it popping up mostly with anti-gun groups, not independently. As for your gun being more like to harm you than another, that's just inherent in using a gun, when compared to how likely I am to be the victim of violence. Finally, Rutger's study on Defensive Gun Use being lower than Exposure to Gun Violence makes sense when you replace guns with fire and extinguishers. If you own an extinguisher you're less like to use it than you are to be in a burning building.

In theory armed civilians can fight a tyrannical government but for some reason Trump and his cult are still there.

This way if we have to.
Regime change in the United States now!

But he was elected twice. So the Democratic candidate MUST have been worse each time because democracy is never wrong!

need to add the Mao quote about political power emanating from the muzzle of a gun to complete the set.

Good luck, the SRA, and many other lefty 2a groups are pro-disarmament when it's convenient for them

And tell me... how did those other happy countries become happy? What HAPPENED so they could be happy now?

Couldn't possibly be the Marshall Plan and America making up 2/3rds of the NATO budget. That would be Jingoist to say out loud! /s

2/3rds? Really?

So how do you stop a full on persecution in progress, without guns?
