The fat fucks parading around in their plate carriers frothily screaming “shall not be infringed” at traumatised school children aren’t going to fire on a tank.
Most of them won’t even wear a mask in a pandemic to protect their countrymen, they’re definitely not going to die in battle for them. It’s who they want to be in their fantasies, not who they actually are.
You know what a lot of them would do though? Enthusiastically vote a fascist and then fire into crowds of people protesting fascist policies.
Noting that the side of the APC says Pulaski County, this is in Arkansas. Pulaski County is home to the state capitol, and one of the most violent cities in America, Little Rock. As a previous resident of Little Rock, I’ll let this one slide. That place is a madhouse.
itt: those in the priveledged position to rely on the state for defense of self and community would rob others of the ability to enforce their bodily autonomy and community defense.
‘only the [fascist] cops should be armed’ brain worms,
enforcing the capital owning class’ monopoly of violence (against ourselves),
The only thing keeping the American government from full on tyrany is the first amendment. The only thing keeping the American government from abolishing the first amendment is the second.
Police militarization is not because of citizens having arms. Rather, overproduction by the military trickles down into surplus sales to domestic police, and they eagerly gobble it up for various reasons such as “they like power”, “they like to feel like big men”, etc. They aren’t outgunned against anything besides a civilian uprising.
Mass shooters already exist and I’d prefer a professional force be prepared to stop them.
We disarm police and they lose the arms race, full stop. People will tribe up for protection, because all it takes is one psycho demanding that be status quo and it becomes that - check literally any developing nation for all the proof you need there. Living in a revenge-killing gang war zone is not my idea of a good time.
Just Google “Haiti” and tell me my deeply purple state wont degrade to open conflict.
Yeah, but the can have all the equipment they want and it doesn’t matter if they won’t go into situations (like, for example, an elementary school shooting) because they’re cowards.
