And let’s give cops money to do it!
Edit: this post has nothing to do with “revolution” or adventurism. The libs like to point the finger at replublicans and say “they won’t let us do background checks!” As if that will stop any of this

Idk America is the only country on the entire planet with more guns than people. More than twice as much guns per capita than active warzones like Yemen. There are simply too many guns in that country.
The intention of gun ownership in the US constitution, as per the first amendment, is to go out and do settler colonialism. It was never intended to keep anyone free, in fact quite the opposite.
Also I don't think Marx's statements on guns were intended to be taken as "Let's flood every country with so many guns that each white reactionary has seventeen laying around their house in the suburb" either ya know?
Guns and weapons are useful tools, but the US is just out of control at this point with them. As you point out even war wouldn't need this many. There's so many, we're even used as a source of weapons for fascist governments and coups in Central/South American countries.
Voting, freedom of speech, and literacy were also never intended for anyone other than wealthy white property owning cismen, but I'll be damned before I let you restrict those rights for the rest of us. The may be "bourgeois rights" but they allow us breathing room for as long as this system stands. The guns, just like property are disproportionately in the hands of those wealthy white cismen anyways, so any restriction will basically be a gun tax, just like the poll taxes that ran over us in ages past. By restricting them without systemic change, you are dooming the targeted groups to helplessness, and it's patently obvious that environmental and economic collapse is coming closer. I'm not volunteering to be rounded up in the Asian, lbtq, black, brown, socialist concentration camps that easily...
