NRA been quiet right
Well i'm not sure whether it's the tyranny they were always talking about.
after all, the US is sometimes incredibly racist, and these voices are influential rn. so it's not surprising that there isn't really a lot of loud voices invoking the 2nd amendment rn. especially not from the trump supporters.
The tyranny is when they take the guns and it's too late to fight back. The tyranny is not the slow boil while they oppress the people I don't like before getting to me next. Duh. Stupid libs.
2A guy here. for the record assault weapons should be banned or regulated to fuckall, and all firearms should be registered to licensed Americans.
I'm not saying anything too loudly because it's bad tactics to give away your position when in a conflict.
nobody knows who or what is behind your door. use that to your advantage.
that is all.
well, the interesting thing is that Karl Marx himself supported worker's right to bear arms, funnily enough.
knowing this, i've completely changed my point of view on firearms. yes, they do a lot of harm and definitely should be dealt with cautiously. and also it's completely beyond any meaningful stance that facebook allows pictures of firearms, but not naked breasts.
but apart from that, the issue of firearms is more interesting than it seems at first glance, and i guess a re-evaluation is warranted.
Says pro2a....then says ban and license everything so the gov has a registry....
Pressing X for doubt really hard on this one
eat shit if you believe that weapons shouldn't be registered to licensed and trained individuals.
without a registry and path to licensing children will keep getting killed in schools, people will keep getting killed at public events.
Of course the NRA has been quiet. They always do this, because they're not about to people. Do you remember when California passed stricter gun laws? Because black people were buying guns? That happened like 50 years ago. The NRA was silent then and they are silent now.
Of course it's always good to point out the hypocrisy. But let's also remember the historical context, that this is consistent with the organization's values and it always has been and it always will be.
I'm sorry, I can't figure out what you meant to say with "not about to people," and it's driving me nuts.
My 00 buckshot is allowed to enter ICE agents who don't have a warrant.
Ya. I mean. They don't have a warrant. They're trespassing.
The issue is law enforcement won't serve a warrant in the blind. They do their research. They know who they're about to take down.
So if it's just a migrant family trying to get by. Sure. They'll knock the doors down guns drawn like in the tv shows.
But it you a coked up methhead with traps all over your property in rural Georgia they'll conveniently not have enough probable cause.
America is a messed up country.
I keep seeing this nonsense being parroted as though these pigs are going to burst in while you're ready and waiting.
Surely they won't come in and kill you while you're asleep, right? No, that could never happen...
Having firearms for protection is so they're within reach and ready....if you lock up your fire extinguisher then it's pretty fucking useless if you have a fire.
I get your point, but let's be serious. That point is about being responsible. How often do fire extinguishers get kids killed?
The question is how often are they not used and kids die in fires?
Same question is, how often are kids killed by the police?
The US is the biggest joke of a country, only the joke is not the least bit funny.
Well ... The 2nd ammendment friendly liberals are smart enough not to post "come get sum ya dirty Nazi asshats" or say how they might be looking forward to defending their home against armed trespassers (ICE without a warrant). That stuff leads to trouble, or might look bad in court.
People know this is bad. History shows this only ends in violence. There is no way to vote our way out of this, these people either get overthrown/arrested, or they get taken out by other nations world war style.
"The takeover will be bloodless if the left allows it to be."
i don't think it's likely that other nations will take out trump through a world war, as happened with hitler in WW2.
this is largely because i believe that other countries entered WW2 to stop hitler because they were getting attacked, or feared they were about to be attacked next. if trump doesn't outright attack other countries, i see little reason for other countries to use military force to stop the US or trump.
You should become a 2A person, and get real loud about this. Let the Gestapo know that their choice of career is putting their lives at risk
Every time I get loud about it I get banned from Reddit or Facebook or Lemmy.world
You’ve had 2 comments removed for advocating violence, and a slap-on-the-wrist temp ban from an obnoxious automated bot in a troll community.
No meaningful bans.
On this account
And advocating violence is exactly what I’m talking about getting banned for
Here you go
I thought tyranny was when the government tells you to not throw trash in the river or pays for kids public elementary?
/s
The 99% who always vote team color have no true morals or standards. Their opinions are based on whatever their preferred news network tells them to believe or simple convenience.
No one is looking to incite a civil war, even if many people on both sides fantasize about it. War is grueling and terrible and we are still too comfortable to risk it. BUT. I think preparing ourselves for the eventuality is wise. Really the best move we could make would be a general strike. It'd be a bloodless deathblow to this stupid stupid situation.
That whole group struck me as a fantasy LARP long ago. Down with believing cons at face value.
2nd amendment people never cared about defending against tyranny, they just wanted their cool boom boom toys and specifically nthis group also just wanted to be able to be racist twats
