    I honestly don’t understand where this idea that we don’t have guns comes from. Sure, i don’t have a wall full, but I’ve only got two hands.

      we’ve got some years of neoliberal 2a infringements to live down. you’re right, but there’s a reason cops feel way more comfortable doing no-knock raids and shooting into black people’s homes than Bradleigh McGoatfucker’s trailer

      Decades of propaganda intentionally conflating the inherently right-wing, neoliberal establishment as being left-wing.

        Ok, while I think I hear and agree. I’m looking for a bit of clarity. Sounds almost like you are placing me in that neoliberal, inherently right-wing establishment, simply because I own guns. I would like to set the record straight, even if I’m not. I’m a socialist. I’ll even back communism. Until my rights are better protected then the current situation, I’ll be holding my guns. Anyone trying to conflate regulations into anything more, is likely the one “more” will come from.

          No, I was simply providing a concise explanation to your question of where this idea came from, which would be the right-wing neoliberalist establishment solely to disarm the working class and pave the way for a fascist takeover.

          I, too, am a proud as fuck communist, though I’m an anarchist, not a socialist. I fully understand that leftists own guns as well. “Under no pretext” is a saying for a reason.
