“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers elementary school students must be frustrated, by force if necessary”

...sorry. I just keep thinking of this Sacha Baron Cohen bit from four years ago, and how not a goddamned thing has changed, other than the reactionaries digging in their heels even harder. And you know goddamned well that these "constitutional carry" laws are going to be used as justification for further astronomical police budgets, and as an excuse for those militarized cops to gun down POC carte blanche (well, even more than they already do).

I don't have any solutions or anything constructive to add, and I doubt that even Marx would have been cool with the "under no pretext" quote being thrown around in light of near-daily mass shootings of innocent people in literally the only country on the planet where this is a regular problem.
