RE: Why I am Anti-Gun

in #politics7 years ago (edited)

If you believed that your government & agencies of your government were corrupt & responsible for carrying out false flag attacks to justify the confiscation of weapons or changing of laws that would leave the guns in the hands of only the petty & real criminals (the government) it would be illogical/stupid to give up your guns wouldn't it? I'm British but if I was an American there is no way I would leave myself unarmed in the face of a heavily armed , tyrannical, rogue government. That was the point of the second amendment wasn't it? The founding fathers stipulated that the US should have a standing army of no more than 25,000 as any threat could be dealt with by a well armed & organised malicia. Obviously the size of the US army in 2017 makes the 2nd amendment

I kind of like that argument because I am in favor of changing the world and I don't think the ones in power will let go without a fight. However I don't think being able to own guns is a decisive factor. The State has weapons that outclass your home owned revolver and if you are actually someone who wants to throw over the establishment you should ask Antifa for open spots ;).

While I like the "emergency revolution" character of the 2nd amendment I do not think it is practical.
