    Conservatives planning to install a authoritarian government?

    Sounds serious. So when are democrats dropping gun control?

    Some of us don’t have the privilege of being on the bottom of their hit list.

      Democrats: FASCISM!

      Also Democrats: Give us your guns!

      If they were smart enough to drop the silly and ineffective gun control laws, they would landslide every election.

      And to think, some of these fools want a national registry. I really don’t want Trump’s crew knowing what I have. And you shouldn’t want them knowing what you don’t have.

        Yeah, that doesn’t work at all… Today’s Republican party is LITERALLY a fascist party as per the 14 common features of fascism and, contrary to what libertarians tell you, gun control isn’t a fascist attribute.

        Mussolini, Franco, and Hitler all made sure that their supporters had easy access to weapons and didn’t infringe on the weapons rights of marginalised groups any more than all of their rights in general.

        Nah, a majority of people LIKE a decreased risk of being shot. Gun control is more popular than Dems are in general.

          Lefty gun nuts like to act as though gun control was invented by the Reagan admin to crack down on the Black Panthers when they tried to organize their own community protection groups in alternative and exclusion to the California police, which to be clear absolutely happened, but!

          This narrative ignores how para-state communities have long distinguished weaponry for communal defense and personal use of weaponry, key example of the US being that gun control in the old west was extremely common, and often far more strict than what is proposed today. Back then you had to surrender your arms to the sheriff before you were allowed to go literally anywhere else in town, like a gun control coat check.

          Literally only white Americans are capable of inventing this almost magical thinking about how great and awesome guns are and how they’re nothing but great and awesome for oppressed communities and how attempts to limit their presence in society are entirely a modern abberation invented for the exclusive purpose of a lockdown of state control of the people.
