          People on Reddit want to give more money to cops and feds to bust down people’s doors and confiscate guns

          People here dont like guns, but know that whether or not they want to give more money to cops, it’ll never happen because both parties are cucked. (Well not the giving money to cops part, but making them take guns)

          Whenever I see some nerd write “under no pretext” under news of dead innocents, I just picture a republican on the other side of the country typing “shall not infringe” on a post about the same news

            Under no pretext makes sense when you’re an insurgent waging war against the state, fascists, and the CIA

            We’re all posting on our beds, our toilets, or at work. The context is wildly different and it’s insulting to pretend guns are being used for the same purposes in the west as they are in exploited countries.

            You can support gun control or don’t, but LARPing as a revolutionary as justification isn’t going to work. Once states start seceding you can pull the quote out.

                "I understand that Minorities and poor communities may be somewhat affected by this new War on Drugs, but we'll deal with that later! We need results now and the problem is too dire to worry about the after effects! No time for actually improving their social conditions, improving healthcare, and providing economic opportunities! "

              The problem is that once the Police go into the black, brown, and poor neighborhoods shooting them and imprisoning them for not paying the $900 for their yearly gun license, who is going to be left to help?

            China, Vietnam, Cuba, the USSR all came about through proletarian revolutions. What revolution would you have with a single shot rifle vs the Police State? Also, those states restricted guns to prevent counterrevolutionaries from gaining ground.

            Trust that the capitalists know that declining conditions are accelerating. They would love it if only the police had the weapons, so that way they could "eliminate" the left wing terrorists that you will be labelled, while tightening their grip. We need better social conditions, not increased police harassment. I 'm just glad we haven't seen bombings yet...

                That depends on how old you are. Under a Business As usual scenario, there's no way it's happening. But under declining environmental conditions, economic decline from falling rates of profit, increased food scarcity, the odds dramatically increase. The way it's going, it'll probably be a Christian Fascist revolution, but I'ld rather be armed while I continue teaching my community self defense, firearm safety, gardening and cooking thanks..
