Any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated
Let's discuss how the number of arms per capita correlates with workers' rights?
The problem is that every single gun law made in modern day is explicitly made to empower the police and protect the bourgeoisie.
that’s a load of crap… australia had a mass shooting, we banned guns, now we have no more gun problem… the police have literally nothing to do with it
Ask an aboriginal what they think of the police.
ah yes of course and that’s a simple problem rather than a complex web of interconnected issues
Do you have an example of this?
Tax stamps (recently repealed)
For the longest time, if you wanted certain types of weapons, you had to pay a $200 tax to own that weapon. These include surpressors, full auto guns, short barrel rifles, and short barrel shotguns
The point wasn't to ban these things it was to make them prohibitively expensive because "its the poor's who vomit violence". And this tax was implemented in the 1940's where $200 was off 2 or 4 times the cost of the gun itself.
A different example is gun registries and concealed carry license databases. I don't trust the police to act calm when interacting with me when they know I have a gun. There are special classes that CCL holders take often so that they know how to read a cop and keep them calm during a traffic stop or a welfare check because cops are trained to shoot first and are very scared of the masses.
Think of Paretti here. Shot dead for having a gun. People blamed it on the ICE agent being a violent fascist thug trained like that. I don't see it that way. I think he operated like a cop who was told no consequences.
We have videos of cops approaching black men, committing the crime of being in white people spaces, who ask them if they have a gun, the man says yes, the cop tells them at gun point to pull it out and drop it, and then shoost the man when he touches the gun.
I don't trust police to use surveillance state information like who owns what guns in a way that won't get me killed. Its why I'm still hesitant to get any tax stamp items. I'd love an SBR, but then I am legally required to let the ATF "inspect" my home if they ask me to. I have to tell the ATF when and where I'm moving to if I change states.
Have you looked at every gun law drafted in the last 20 years? Every single one banning certain classes of guns only targets "assault weapons", and every time, they have exemptions for cops or ex-cops. Handguns kill significantly more people, but "assault weapons" are scary and make liberal suburbans feel mortal for once so they irrationally hate them.
Because assault weapon are, like you said, being banned left and right, so handgun are more accessible than assault weapon.
Okay, but where are these American arm-bearing workers? What are they waiting for?
They don't shoot first.
So they just sit on the gun for no purpose? Last i checked the worker is extra fucked right now, while ICE is often defeated not with gun, but continuously harassment from the public. Last i checked Charlie Kirk aren't killed by some frustrated worker.
There's something that most resistance groups know about that is called "winning the narrative". If you open fire first, it's easier for the government to justify cracking down on you as a "violent terrorist".
Yeah the narrative NRA wrote.
I'm sure you'll be able to win against full-blown fascism with strongly worded letters. Ask Neville Chamberlain to know how that went.
In the mean time the fact remain that people with gun took no action against their facist government who cause suffering within the country and globally, while people without gun able to drive off ICE without violence. Maybe the narrative here is to wait till the current facist government turn nazi then they claim to be hero idk.
Anyway here's the full meme for those ignorant. Guns on the hands of workers are an important part of worker's rights.
Thousands of children may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.
Cops (aka class traitors) have killed 33x more people than mass shootings since 1982. But sure, we're the ones sacrificing children.
