This is not Red Dawn and you are not the Wolverines.
You know what happens when people of color and leftists arm themselves? The cops INSTANTLY go full force and murder everyone they can. When the nazis do it? They praise a kid who just executed two people and actively refuse to get involved.
People love to cite that a lot of our gun control laws are because black people armed themselves. And that is true. But when push comes to shove? One protest gets bottles of water and cheers. The other gets the national guard.
And, as we have seen in Ukraine: A poorly trained army with crappy body armor gets murdered en masse by even a halfway decent military with modern equipment. And… historically, the military protects the white supremacists.
So no, guns are not helping in the slightest and we do not fucking need more. And to use civil rights as an excuse to play with guns and watch kids die is just disgusting.
The era of the armed militia accomplishing anything ended around the same time that the fundamental unit on the battlefield became a squad rather than a platoon/division. When one person holed up with an assault rifle can halt an advance… and said advance can call in an air strike to get rid of said one person, the idea of getting in some time at the range to protect yourself against an armed force went out the window.
