:LIB: the article is probably not as bad as the title but their copywriter just lost them an rss subscription

    This country will abolish police before it bans guns, and if you're not talking about bans and CONFISCATIONS then you're not talking about shit

      lol not in the least. guns are the toys and comfort items of the petit bourgeois. cops are what actually protect the system. unless you mean privatizing the police, which i could certainly see happening.

        Yes, I'm 100% confident this country will turn to wild west justice and paid mercenary subscription services for private property defense before it ever bans or confiscates guns, cause if the feds try and take away those toys and comfort items there will be a Ruby Ridge and Waco every week

        400 million guns and 100 million+ chuds is not something even the MIC wants to take lightly, just by its position in the core and its sheer idiot inertia

      Disagree. They aren’t inherently attached to either, they just currently support them because they defend the hierarchy they love more than anything.

      They’ll ban guns in a heartbeat if they think they’re more of a liability than an asset, just look at Reagan and the Mulford Act. And they’ll turn on the police as soon as it’s convient, just like they did at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

        The country has become significantly more deranged since Reagan and his Mulford act, back then the right-wing may have tolerated limited gun control targeted at Black orgs, but now with the number of guns in the country having quintupled to 400 million and the explosion of right-wing militias since Obama and Trump, the feds are not gonna risk weekly Ruby Ridges and Wacos just for the sake of liberal gun angst
