Unfortunately, people of color can never give an inch on "gun control," if we do, that will certainly end catastrophically for us. Many have been swayed by the emotional argument, but the reality is that the source of the majority of gun control has been intended to disarm minorities and subject us to white terrorists that aren't held accountable to the same laws. Though I'm not a proponent of violence, I will violently defend my right to arms, because without it, the whites will not be held to account by the same laws, and will come to eradicate me and mines.
...Aided and abetted by the police, who are also conveniently except from nearly all gun restrictions and legislation. No points for anyone guessing that the favorite target of the police is also (predominantly black) minorities. Neither of these details are a coincidence.
Exactly. You don't have to look hard or far to find evidence of this. I'll never give up my arms, though I prefer never to use them on another human, I'll die with them in my hands.
If you think that legally owning a couple assault rifles gives you a chance against people in full body armor with armored vehicles and the support of the military then I have a sweet deal on a bridge for you.
So maybe don't use systemic racism as a defense for your fetishes. It is a truly disgusting thing to do
Easy for someone protected by white institutions to say. I'm not a fetishist, and I don't believe that I stand a chance against a modern military (my weapon of choice isn't the made-up "assault rifle," but my bolt action). The reality is, I'd rather be dead than go to a camp or be tortured/raped to death by fascists.
Take your disgusting, privileged ass bullshit elsewhere.
Preach. I'll die on my feet before I serve on my knees. A good bolt action will almost guarantee you'll take a few with you. Right thru their body armor.
The thing about values and integrity is that these things aren't up for debate. My decisions been made, it is part of what I consider me, outcomes be damned. There is no future for me separated from my values. I accept whatever peace, wealth, misfortune, violence or death that that brings me.
And modern war, by the time America is involved, boots on the ground, will be over as soon as it starts. You really think a sufficiently equipped, advanced tech military like ours is gonna roll thru street by street, house by house.
Naw man. It's gonna be all artillery and then kill all life sweeping murderdrones. If you don't know several ways to mask your IR emissions, right now, then you're already not a serious combatant.
Thank you. I'm not saying I seek violent confrontation, that I'll win violent confrontation. I'm saying there are lines that I've set, where violent confrontation is the only option. I'm a proponent of nonviolence where possible, and I do believe it is possible, though where it isn't possible, I'd rather die than be subjugated. Artillery or gunfire, I'll take the death on my feet because the other options are horrific.
What a shit take.
