    I honestly don’t understand where this idea that we don’t have guns comes from. Sure, i don’t have a wall full, but I’ve only got two hands.

      we’ve got some years of neoliberal 2a infringements to live down. you’re right, but there’s a reason cops feel way more comfortable doing no-knock raids and shooting into black people’s homes than Bradleigh McGoatfucker’s trailer

        And that reason is systemic racism.

          Well, that and ruby ridge, waco, oklahoma city. Youll notice after tjose three, enforcement on the right basically stopped cold.

          To the point an anti abortion terrorist straight up bombed the 96 olympics and they did nothing for years, while he kept bombing clinics.

          Turns out violence does in fact work.

      Decades of propaganda intentionally conflating the inherently right-wing, neoliberal establishment as being left-wing.

        Ok, while I think I hear and agree. I’m looking for a bit of clarity. Sounds almost like you are placing me in that neoliberal, inherently right-wing establishment, simply because I own guns. I would like to set the record straight, even if I’m not. I’m a socialist. I’ll even back communism. Until my rights are better protected then the current situation, I’ll be holding my guns. Anyone trying to conflate regulations into anything more, is likely the one “more” will come from.

          No, I was simply providing a concise explanation to your question of where this idea came from, which would be the right-wing neoliberalist establishment solely to disarm the working class and pave the way for a fascist takeover.

          I, too, am a proud as fuck communist, though I’m an anarchist, not a socialist. I fully understand that leftists own guns as well. “Under no pretext” is a saying for a reason.

      Okay but what gun do you use the next day, while those two are at the cleaners?

      What about your skull gun? The holdout you keep in your shoe? Or your ornamental gun rack huns to show how many guns you have to everyone who sees your car?

      Two just isnt enough.
