Statesian here. There are a CRAPTON of mass shootings here. If we do nothing about guns, the shootings will still happen. What is the leftist answer for reducing mass shootings without disarming the proletariat?
In order to operate a firearm you would need to join a WELL REGULATED militia
Who exactly regulates this militia? The government? If so, we’ve just reinvented the police but made it a volunteer position
If the point is that an armed populace is a deterrent against a tyrannical government, giving the government carte blache to restrict and control them defeats the purpose.
A militia is a far far far better deterrent to a tyrannical government than a bunch of unorganized citizens, or loners stock piling some rifles.
Our current situation only serves those who enforce the status quo, or who want to commit acts of terror against countrymen they politically disagree with.
But who enforces the regulation? Who decides what is a militia vs “a bunch of unorganized citizens”? Who appoints a militia’s “arms master”? The problem is that if it’s the gov, that same government can take away those privileges or only appoint/approve militias they politically agree with.
