    You're ignoring the fact that any and all gun control in the US enacted will just give police more tools to go after the poor, minorities, and colonized people and have been demonstrated to prevent exactly zero mass shootings.

    Username checks out though.

      yeah all those mass shootings that happen in Australia (also a settler country), come on

        Did you just ignore the part where I said "in the US".

        I won't engage with someone this disingenuous and this is not my first runin with you being totally uninformed.

        If you think they will do that sort of widespread gun ban/buyback program at a federal level in the US I got a bridge to sell you.

          You can argue along two tracks here:

          1. It is not viable in the US to implement gun control

          2. Gun control is a bad thing or is not effective at reducing shootings

          Clearly (1) is correct but we are on a communist website here, so I'm pretty used to dreaming of a world that is totally untenable in the US. 2 is quite a bit more doubtful. Like guns are the #1 killer of under-18s in this country. That's a huge fuckin price to pay for doing some kind of revolutionary cosplay.
