I hate guns, but without a doubt, the best way to have common sense guns policies is for the minorities the right hates to be armed.
best case scenario I'm wrong and guns are good for the cause, we win. worse case scenario and we get less rednecks with machine guns. unless the outcome is straight up fascism that only bans minorities they hate to have guns, in which case they really do need guns so they can at least try a revolt before ending in a concentration camp anyways.
The right wing will only defend disarmament when they feel like they're being targeted.
I strongly agree with this. We need to remember that there is no such thing as hypocrisy with right wing lunatics. They are reactionary. They aren’t being inconsistent because they don’t believe in anything.

Super unrelated but anyone ever hear the song John Brown's Body? Lovely ditty!
As a Canadian I’ve always found that even left Americans defend gun rights, it’s weird. But I guess if you’re born and raised in that culture it’s just normal to have such easy access to guns
Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers should be frustrated, by force if necessary

I think it's Pandora's box, once opened it can't be closed.
I understand there have been instances where it's been closed in other countries, but I just can't see that vision working in the US society.
The divine rights of kings was also thought to be impossible to disappear, yet here we are.
If it were swords, we wouldn't want to the only people without swords in a place bristling with swords.
Weapons are force-multipliers and we have too many people willing to use force, including our own fucking government, which was the idea to begin with; don't have a government that can do whatever because they have all the force.
In fact, you can even demand a kingdom without swords while carrying a sword. They do not cancel each other out.
