You can tell someone is a radlib if they believe the American 2nd amendment (or whatever they have in Israel) is "Marxist policy". In fact, those settler colonialist laws deputize citizens of empire to do "self defense" (?) violence against their enslaved subjects.

"Empire, Resistance, and Security: International Law and the Transformative Occupation of Palestine"

In this essay, I identify and examine the legal-rhetorical mode of reasoning that justifies colonial-transformative occupations by legitimizing the repression of indigenous resistance via appeals to self-defense. The discretionary power authorized by the law of occupation in defence of the occupant’s security becomes, in the hands of a prolonged occupying power with territorial ambitions, the door through which an entire cart and horses of colonial apparatus can be driven. The essay traces this mode of reasoning since the early modern period, and exemplifies it in the case of Israel-Palestine

    The 2A is literally about raising militias to defend america, you shouldn't trust it because its stated goal is pretty explicitly antithetical to communism

    I mean, take them up on their generous offer if you can do it safely, but never believe it's on your side

    Guarantee the right to bear arms

    Ban convicted fellons from owning firearms anyways

    Disproportionately arrest and convict black people

    People online think the right to bear arms will enable them to overthrow the government :abbie-cocktail:

    I have a source somewhere about the 2a being specifically for putting down slave revolts but I'm too lazy to find it
