I don't even support a 100% gun ban or anything, I just think this behavior is tasteless asf.

Edit: Get mad and tone police me all you want gunbros, I stand by this.

    It's more about protecting ourselves when the fash get even more riled up.

      I mean in the last two mass shootings people have shot at the gunmen, but they were wearing body armour so they just continued...

      Honestly if some fash comes at you in their terminator body armour suit, there's not much you can do, try shoot them in the crotch, or the "Mozambique method" (double tap centre mass + headshot) I guess? Honestly the force difference between some fash with a long gun and body armour vs even someone carrying a pistol for self defence is huge.

        Yeah, I agree on all points. What is your practical plan to confront that? Do you believe that directly confronting in isn't possible? If the latter is the case how exactly would you ever be able to stop it politically?

          I'm a non American that doesn't have a gun, but the same way as with any violent situation I guess. Run away, then hide, then only fight if I have no other choice. Avoid confrontation as far as possible.

          Honestly if some fash gets the drop on you, there's really not much you can do, that's life, it can be really, really, really shit at times.

          Stopping it politically requires using state power to re educate Nazi incels and reintegrate them into society, along with removing all their political power, the American state is unwilling to that at the moment.

          You could start with the most basic stuff like criminalising hate speech, but we all know that Amerikkka would fuck that up and only target "anti white" racists or whatever the fuck.

            I am American, and I am one who knows the history of "my" country, the blood upon which it was founded , and upon which it has sustained itself.

            What I know is that while you may well be right that a country that does not have the same degree of an armed populace would not be witness to anywhere near the reactionary violence we see in the United States, you would only ever possibly be able to enforce that state of affairs by overcoming the force that they already & have always had possession of.

            What is going on today is not new for America; we are simply returning to our own normal. And we as leftists in America need to be prepared for that.

        You can buy an NFA destructive device if you have money and can pass the background check. Maybe not against a terminator suit, but a grenade will fuck up somebody in a plate carrier and a rampage shooter was going to kill those bystanders anyway.
