I live in a country where we have 20x less guns than in the US but 4x the gun violence and 6x the police violence. The quantity matters little. Switzerland has more lax laws than half of the US states and more guns than almost all of Europe and everyone is obligated to keep a fully automatic SG550 in their home after their military service. I don't see them making the news for shooting children.
So you're just gonna accept fascism and let your neighbors get taken away by the Gestapo? People DO things when their guns are used on us inappropriately. The problem is that both American main parties are bootlickers who twist themselves into a pretzel to justify police violence. There was a huge wave of protests in 2020 exactly because of that.
I'll just say one more thing: there's a reason most black people from the hood have weapons while most people from the suburbs don't. The later have pigs at their beck and call.
