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

Guarantee that your measures won't harm the People of color that live here! Just like Californian gun control, just like 3 strikes, just like stop and frisk. Why should I as a person of color support your draconian measures which will inevitably fall on me and my family given Amerikkkan history. You won't even go out and institute drug decriminalization. Why not outlaw White supremacy and these racist laws first?
You won't even allow me access to voting like non-POC Amerikkkans enjoy... To push your police state even more onto our backs so that you can enjoy the peaceful existence that you crave while we live in fear of random economic driven violence, random white supremacist violence, and police state violence is exposing your own delusion. ..
PoC are harmed by rampant gun violence and mass shootings too; it's a white supremacist country, there's no solution that won't harm PoC. You're perfectly justified in being cautious of how these laws will inevitably used to harm PoC, but at large they will still have an effect on the proliferation of guns broadly. It's the bare minimum the hideous liberal state could do to prevent deaths because it won't/can't do anything more substantive like trying to confront the socioeconomic reasons behind mass shootings.
And I'm not saying this is a substitute for any sort of proper revolutionary action, just that these mass murders are needlessly killing people in our own class and the bourgeois are content to let it happen because they're unaffected, so any sort of life saving measures are worth some support until revolutionary action is a realistic option.
If you're saying that there is no solution that won't harm POC, then you're asking us to sign off on a solution that harms us for the benefit of the group that already receives disproportionate benefits already.
"yes, the police will target you, kill you at higher rates due to the targeted interaction, and your children will be traumatized by the body cavity searches, but it's worth it so that random violence doesn't escape the minority communities that we've created!"
Since you're hellbent on violating the "Simon slavemaster says" Constitution, I'ld rather you target these searches and violations to the white young men who disproportionately commit these gruesome events, rather than us. Thanks...
The feds already have access to records of every firearm bought, every electronic communication, every financial transaction and every electronic piece of media in the Western world. What more do they need?
