When you’re preparing to fight a fascist regime, more guns is the solution.

Been working out so well with around 50k Americans dying every year needlessly. We are also clocking in at around one thousand child deaths every year. Japan had zero child deaths from guns this year, and the last, and the last, ad nauseam.

I know you gun nutters love your defense fantasies, but arming the gays isn’t going to solve any problems and will result in more dead people

We already have more guns than people. How many moar guns until we are finally safe!?

But we’re not talking specifically about protecting children here, I’d agree with you that less guns are better to those ends. For fighting fascism though? It took a lot of gun deaths to unseat Hitler and Mussolini

Pretty cool suggesting at risk groups should stay vulnerable when their enemies are armed.

Interesting position you’re taking.

General gun violence is unlike targeted political violence against minorities, so things like school shooting and gang violence stats mean nothing.

Comparing to Japan is irrelevant as there isn’t an armed and empowered group publicly discussing hunting at risk folks there.

Guns is how we solved the Nazi problem the first time. If you’ve got a better solution, we’re all ears.

Military action is how the Nazi military was defeated. Nazism was never defeated though. You must understand the US was very pro-Nazi before WWII. Wealthy private individuals from the US helped to find the Nazi party.

Later on, after the Nazi rose to power these same US individuals lobbied the governments of Europe and the US not to take the Jews in. The Nazi party originally wanted to expel all the Jews. This lead to the final solution and the murder of millions.

So it is more complex than guns kill Nazi. We were not the good guys in all this. I also think this has little to do with gun proliferation in the US and the lack of regulation causing untold suffering.

Since they belive in enacting laws that benefit them only, we have to twist these same laws against them.

Don’t want more guns (or any guns tbh), but fuck it, I’m buying a gun and going to the shooting range with my fuck trump rainbow tshirt

Better to keep a low profile in places you’re outnumbered.

It is unfortunate you have to feel this way, but it is not surprising.
