1. The multifaceted issues isn’t just low levels of gun control, but rising poverty, severity of poverty, and strong instances of institutional racism. That’s the tip of it. This country is inherently hostile to POC which leads onto…
2. If you think this fascist state issue is only Trump then you’re not paying attention and don’t talk to older POC in the USA. Legislation like the Mulford Act is only there to prevent POC from being able arm, protect, and police themselves from the violence of the police.
3. This is what gets me, people like you looking in with only a select view not seeing everything in this country. You see what you want to see and make a half-thought up conclusion. Not being white in this country is to have one inherently hostile for you and that marginalizes you. Realistically as well, most gun control is unevenly used against them as well, again refer to the Mulford Act.

Boy, I bet it’s that simple of a solution and not multifaceted of a problem. Not to mention I don’t think Australia is in the middle of a literal fascist take over, so you know, might as well disarm to be helpless, right? Seriously, the child like mentality of guns being bad when there’s social ills that plague society that results in more violence overall, not just gun violence, is annoying.

Wish I could see the down votes for them, I only see favorites.

We grant you a seat on the council but do not grant you the title of 90’s kid.

As well some of those numbers tend to skew. There’s those who have a shotgun as opposed to the images of Republicans during the holidays where everyone in the family has their own AR and we don’t know what else they own.

And I don’t see you in one at all. Because you’re advocating for marginalized people to be utterly defenseless in the face of their oppression. Their lives are actively in danger from if not government than individuals. You seem to think I’m saying to go shoot someone now, I advocate communal defense. Not everyone needs to be armed but enough need to be. There’s organizations that take in disowned trans teens to give them the care and support they need. They have LITERALLY had to drive off people against them that are armed with their own armaments.

As for fascism, Marx himself says under no pretext. That an unarmed work force is an easily oppressed one. Thank you for playing, buh bye.

Their lives are in literal danger and you’re telling them nah, too much gun violence when they receive disproportionate amounts of gun violence.

If anyone has an darned good self defense training, especially with firearms, they should be doing what you say exactly. You hide or GTFO dodge if there’s an active shooter. You’re not going to be a hero and just as likely to end up shot. Especially if they’re using a long arm over your compact carry.

You nail the second part as well, the fog of war situation. I’ve had this argument in real life and it took a bit for the person to understand you can’t ID the shooter if everyone with a gun tries to converge on them.

Gun ownership isn’t a right, it’s a privilege that carries heavy responsibilities. It’s a cultural view of firearms that differs heavily. I’m more likely to trust a leftist who trains, doesn’t exclaim everywhere they own a firearm, and locks up what needs to be locked up. The entire home invasion thing is a myth, majority that end up in a home with someone there bail. Few try to fight because they don’t know what you might have.

Still won’t tell me why fascists want an unarmed population, especially of the easily marginalized. Still thinks communal defense is blood lust. Calls an avowed socialist a fascist, doesn’t seem to understand what it really means. It’s just a sad state of affairs how utterly uninformed you are. I’m no expert but I at least look up information so I’m not as ignorant. Instead you seem to revel in it.

Tell me you’re entirely uneducated about political positioning and ideologies without telling me.

Oh lord, you sound like MAGA. Here’s a hint, you can’t be fascist and be a left wing person. Fascism is a far right wing ideology. Love me, love me, I’m a liberal!

Can’t offer good rebutals and doesn’t deny being a neo-liberal and thus an actual fascist simp.

Ahh yes, self defense is blood lust. You sound more neo-liberal every post.

You seem to think that they’ll be allowed to live under this regime in the first place. Also why is it that they want to take away their ways to arm and organize exactly? What could be the reason they would want them isolated and unarmed?

Removal of firearms is also a fascist thing. I’d rather have an armed trans person next to me than a RWNJ. That trans person is higher likely to be mentally stable, trained, and practiced. As well given the targeting of trans people to marginalize them to the point that they can then be exterminated as is the Heritage Foundation’s plan, I’m going to say you have a lousy take.

I’m a firm believer of firearm ownership, especially for the marginalized groups in the USA right now. That said we need better mental health services and people who have a distinct lack of empathy should not own one to begin with.

Which is more likely, funding for better mental health services as a whole or removing guns from the unwilling?

They can take it off though, we need some sort of identifier they cannot remove.

It took me a moment, I was wondering why you spelled it like that then realized it’s a similar phonetic insult as MAGAt.

They should be banned from all public facilities and if caught face a class 5 felony like Idaho does for Trans people.

Left with debt and trauma, yet we didn’t ask to be born. Especially into this nightmare. This world and those at the top have a host to answer for.
