97% chance nothing happens anyways, but it doesn’t matter what their motivation is for trying to take your guns. A disarmed populace opens the door to tyranny.
Yeah, I can’t take out a tank or a fighter jet with my AR-15, but I can shoot the soldier that has to get out of the vehicle to get it from me. The solution there is insurgency and guerilla tactics, which time and again have been shown to work against government militaries even with heavy weapons. (Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc)
It takes a police force with boots on the ground, not a military, to maintain control of the population, and even with a large police force we still outnumber them 50 to 1. They can’t win in a gunfight with an armed local populace.
@Hyolobrika This idea that the leftists who push for gun control have nothing to do with the SWAT team at someone’s door is ridiculous. They’re involved, and must be punished even if they fail.
@Hyolobrika >Intent is the basis for morality.
Not really. People who intend to do right do wrong all the time.
@dave The presence of malice is well established, though. Just consider all the racial language against Whites, consider all the remarks about inbred hicks, consider how they for years now tried to destroy the livelihoods of anybody who didn’t vote for Hillary or Biden, consider the shoutdown tactics used constantly.
The malice is so well-established that it’s credible to argue that the only reason guys like me aren’t in death camps or being actively brainwashed into cutting our dicks off is precisely because we have these weapons. It’s why they want to disarm us so bad.
@Xenophon Those 90% of blacks who vote for my disarmament and second class citizenship just gotta go. I’m totally willing to judge people based on the content of their character, and voting habits are a great indicator of character.
Blacks are the most pro-democrat party, but I think even with them it’s more like 80-20, not 90-10.
But with Asians and Hispanics it’s way higher, because their cultural backgrounds prioritize family-oriented living. Hispanics in particular have been rapidly shifting to the right in response to wokeness. Remember that only like 2-5% of hispanics that know what “latinx” means actually like the label. The majority dislike it because they recognize it for the white woke liberal bullshit that it is.
@dave I didn’t mean to suggest that race is the only component, but it is a key one. It’s one that, in order for one’s analysis to get a passing grade, must be brought up and discussed directly.
I mean, there were Whites who survived the Haitian revolution.
@dave You’re going to call me insane again, but the kind of fedposting I do does legitimately scare leftists when they hear/read it, because the scenarios I’m making up are the kind of scenarios they want to put me in, and you in. They want to put us in these scenarios where they can administratively render us second class citizens and therefore being told to their face that someone with a gun might construe that as some kind of law enforcement and/or self defense situation that merits direct use of force terrifies them.
They much prefer to deal with moderates who will, when push comes to shove, just take it. If they can’t have that, they want people who will lash out irrationally, so they can be suppressed mercilessly. They do not want to deal with people who will stick up for themselves but won’t start RaHoWa out of the blue. That’s the category of person they legitimately fear most, because they have a point, and the best argument that can be made against them are “well I disagree with their methods.”
He’s just behind the curve on these issues compared to the average on this side of fedi is all. Just recently I did a post talking about kids doing drag and being brought to drag shows, something he was apparently unaware was happening.
Initially accused me (essentially) of falling for homophobic fearmongering, but upon being presented with video evidence that it’s a real thing that’s happening, he acknowledged that he was wrong about the issue.
Most people just aren’t aware of the dark side of the alphabet mafia yet. It doesn’t mean they’re operating in bad faith.
