The idea that a lack of guns is dictatorship is dumb
You revolt.
The legal acess to weapon means shit during a revolution
If people want to revolt againt their government they do
With guns or no guns
a lack of guns is absolutely neccesary for dictatorship, yes
Especially since the government has really big guns
before this inevitably turns into the US gun owners vs. the military argument, let me nip that in the bud by saying that isn't what we're talking about
if they violate our basic law
to such a massive extent
goddamn
without a democratic mandate
people will find their weapons
would you guys like to take this shit to <#372513679964635138> or <#412721382003179530> ?
the police and military that oppose this decision will provide their arms as well
the point of the second amendment is to basically hold a preverbial gun to the federal governments head and prevent tyranny from ever starting
Having guns is one of the indicators of a free society, but to claim that not having guns means living in a dictatorship is just obnoxious.
Let's not fall into the trap of dealing with absolutes, the world its not black and white, everything is different shades of grey
to stop another revolution before it is ever neccesary
tbh having a gun is a completely cultural thing
if you go to 99% of countries and talk to them about their right to carry arms they'll look at you like you're a lunatic
*western countries
if you have no means of defending your freedoms then you're just waiting for the next dictator. How many tyrants has europe had in the time the US has existed? a dozen? 20? 30?
@radeon
What will stop a tyrant government is not the guns of the people, it's the will of the people to not live under a dictatorship
It's all about mindset
mindset doesn't stop jackboots.
guns will, though.
we elected our tyrants
the right to bear arms doesn't mean anything if you voluntarily accept tyranny
because you're stupid and lack liberal values
Dude, a gun is an object without magical properties
Non-Americans just dont get it @radeon
Americans don't get it
^
Pay attention to what @Ruggwain is saying
They elected their tyrants
no they have this idea of a street war with brownshirts which has nothing to do with it.
Guns or not guns would mean shit
Because they wanted that
so you're saying just give up?
no
there is no giving up
They wanted that
