| There would have to be a very long period of peace, first. Periods of government instability, as we have now, actually cause American citizens to want to reaffirm their rights, not relinquish them. And, the 2nd amendment represents something symbolically beyond its function: a unified collective will against tyranny, corruption, and evil. |

| What a dystopia. If anything the situation in Minnesota should teach liberal Americans that they all need to arm themselves massively. |
| |
| ▲ | BobaFloutist 24 days ago | parent [-] | | Yes, and remind me what happened to the liberal American that armed himself in Minnesota? | | |
| ▲ | nickthegreek 24 days ago | parent | next [-] | | He wasn't standing next to 25 other liberals who had armed themselves. | | | |

| ▲ | foobarchu 24 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | There is video evidence and many eyewitnesses that he did no such thing. If you need to lie to justify fascism, maybe you shouldn't be supporting fascism. He possessed a weapon on his person in a state where that in completely legal, in a country whose constitution explicitly says he's allowed to own that weapon. There was not a single reason for him to be executed by federal agents. | | |
| ▲ | sejje 23 days ago | parent [-] | | He possessed his firearm while obstructing federal agents, while wrestling with federal agents on the ground. He can legally attend a protest with his firearm, but once he engages in other crimes he is also carrying his firearm illegally. He was not executed. |

| ▲ | nickthegreek 24 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | > He attempted to be a hero by drawing on a federal officer. Absolutely vile smear against a hard working VA nurse and stand up citizen. There were zero attempts made by Alex Pretti to draw a weapon. He was being a hero by helping 2 women move away from the masked officers forcefully pushing them. | | |

| At the moment, the most dangerous people with guns in US are the ones working for the federal government. |

| > Get grass roots support for it. You know that line from the Mandalorian, "Weapons are part of my religion"? That is true in the most literal possible sense for a large portion of Americans. And not all of them right-wing, either- if anything, the past 5 years have convinced many of my left-wing friends to get concealed weapons training and being carrying pistols. |
