The court's 6-3 conservative majority has expanded gun rights but has also shown a reluctance in recent months to take up new cases on the scope of the right to bear arms.
I hope my fellow Democrats are finally beginning to see why disarming ourselves was such a bad fucking idea.
No, I don’t want people to run around randomly murdering each other. These laws haven’t stopped that.
It’s going to be hard to fight fascism when only the fascists are armed.
Then you get the smug assholes posting questions like, “Hey gun owners why aren’t you standing against tyranny for me?” as though I could do shit alone.
I think its more that some folks have been saying they needed their guns in case the government overeached and curtailed freedom. The government is doing exactly that, and many of the “guns will save my family from Incle Sam” folks are cheering the changes instead of rising up. People are pointing out the hypocrisy, not demanding people die for them
The people who are asking that question are probably the people who believed they wouldn’t see a tyrannical government on US soil. If the Democrats hadn’t wasted so much political capital on bending over to billionaires and their gun control fantasy, more people on the left would be armed right now. Instead, they pushed the rhetoric that only crazy conservatives own guns. They pushed it so hard that now many crazy conservatives own guns. Of course they’re gonna love the Trump regime. One party spent decades saying they are horrible people for shooting paper, and did whatever they could to take that away from people. They don’t see what’s happening as tyranny because the Democrats told these gun owners they will face tyranny with a Democratic controlled government.
If anyone truly believes Trump is or is trying to be the American Hitler, then they are buying ammo and plate carriers.
Can you share a meaningful number of examples showing Democrats with guns standing up to neo-fascists?
Because while your comment has an air of sensibility, the news stories that I’ve seen over the decades give the impression that the Americans who choose to own guns to protect their rights are overwhelmingly supporters of the very fascists that are in the spotlight now. I would love reason to believe otherwise, but since I don’t have one, I am skeptical of your argument.
I misunderstood what you were after, since I consider neo-nazi’s to be neo-fascists. If you wanted examples of people resisting fascist or tyrannical governments only, there’s not many examples of that happening in the US specifically since those movements would be almost immediately and harshly quashed. I don’t know if you’d consider the Battle of Athens to count since it was only against a corrupt local town government. And the Battle of Blair Mountain, I assume, doesn’t really count either.
For larger scale conflicts, we’d have to go abroad and often farther back in history, which may disqualify it from what you’re looking for.
What laws? You still get assault rifles with your eggs Benedict breakfast there in the US, so what fracking laws are you talking about?
Shoot mass shootings still happen all the time to the point where children get active shooter training because guns are more readily avait than butter.
What laws?
Your police forces receive regular arms shipments from the US army
What laws are you talking about? For all intents and purposes there are some laws that prohibit things like nukes, tanks, machine guns and other heavy weaponry but that’s about it.
The US is a gun nut country and the entire attitude you have about guns is the same attitude that is the problem in the US. All other countries have solved these issues and the US still pretends that all this is new, and there is no way to stop any of this!
The US could solve prettyuch of its problems within a year if it wanted to
It just doesn’t, it prefers to suffer a dnpull the rest of the world down with it
There are no laws that stopped gun violents in the US.
This shit only happens in your fucked up country.
You’ve long lost the opportunity for distinguishing between good and bad gun owners. The whole world sees that y’all only have fascists with gun because America couldn’t give up their gun addiction in the first place.

I hate that goddamn question. Literally demanding others to die on their behalf.

Normally I would disagree with you and continue to argue for gun control. But seeing how fucked America is at the moment you are kinda right.
It’s like the gun crazies in your country finally created a situation so bad that you actually need guns…

Here’s a few examples:
Black community in Ohio forms safety program after neo-Nazi rally
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=w0ndPOs8Q1c
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U8xXOwcW7O4
Historical examples:
Lumbee tribe vs KKK
Abolitionists & the 1860 “Race Riots” in Grinnell, Iowa
None of those are examples of people using firearms to stand against tyranny. Not even at a small scale, let alone a meaningful one.
(Note that racist organisations are not governments. They’re awful, but they are not fascism and do not constitute tyranny.)

Examples:
Rojava using weapons to protect against tyrannical and oppressive neighbor states
The Spanish Civil War, which was leftists (even George Orwell joined in!) vs. the fascist army of Francisco Franco (plus Documentary with more detail)
Nestor Makhno’s Black Army during the Russian Revolution (plus short historical video)
Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
Polish Resistance during WW2

That’s just the price we pay for freedom.
Forgot /s? 😂
Holy crap, I can’t tell if you’re joking or not
Should be obvious.
