Since people for guns in the USA keep saying it’s to fight facism and corruption, and facism and corruption is now running wild out of control with no “good guys with guns”, I think it won’t matter if we ban all guns across the board permanently, including for cops.
Yeah this is a bad opinion.
Arms don’t stop fascism per se (and have nothing to do with corruption), but they give the people targeted by fascism a chance. The people in the Warsaw uprising all died but they took some Nazis with them and probably saved some of the comrades.
The Black folk in the south during Jim Crow who armed themselves made it risky to target them so it kept some racists away.
Without the threat of violence from the oppressed classes, the oppressor would have even more success with the genocides.
I’m going to preemptively put a /s up here since most of you don’t seem to understand sarcasm.
Don’t you understand you silly little man? Only the government should have a monopoly on violence that way when I take over the government I could use it to persecute all the people that I don’t like just the way it was used to persecute me. I have this intent because I myself am a good and just person. It’s just everyone else that’s evil and rotten and bad /s
If you’re wondering why conservatives are actively targeting trans individuals and non-us migrants, it’s because those groups have much harder times holding firearms legally and are much easier to bully without fear of reprisal. (Mental health and legal barriers to firearm ownership).
