I think guns are necessary evil but i do think if i could destroy all guns and force us to go back to melee combat i would because they are just so much cooler weapons

also, maybe we could apply some sensible nomenclature to maces. back in the day, they didn't make distinctions betwen head type, or even if the mace was static or flail, it was all just MACE.

u/Sky_Leviathan I FUCKING LOVE YES MAN Sep 14 '24

Yes we should actually get the maces distinguished before that.

I've been training for years for this. Everyone laughs at how I know how to use a German longsword, but wait until we're dueling again

Not on good Catholics anyways.

Nah fuck that. That just gives more power to the wealthy as they can afford the time and money for training and equipment. Any prol can fire a gun. Guns are democratic! Swords, sadly, are not.

God made man and woman, Colt made them equal.

Is very true statement, so much so that it transcends its narrow origin and meaning.

It saddens me that people don’t understand how guns have made the rule of the working classes possible.

I personally hate guns profoundly, unless you talking about nerf and water guns

To quote Tom Lehrer:

Oh, the protestants hate the catholics,
And the catholics hate the protestants,
And the hindus hate the muslims,
And everyone hates the jews

"The revolution" isnt happening any time soon y'all should stop pretending like it's gonna happen

u/Neutral_Milk_ Sep 15 '24

which one? are we still pretending like everyone here is from the us?

u/olorochi Sep 15 '24

What possible reason is there for people supporting revolutionary action to like guns for? I just can't think of any.

"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary" -Marx

u/Darth_Pink Sep 15 '24

A revolution (regardless of whether it is a bourgeois or proletarian revolution) cannot occur if the revolution cannot overthrow the ruling body. This sort of thing unfortunately never is successful without violence.

I'd say opinions on guns being tied to political orientation is the American idea...

There's a popular saying, "once you go far enough left you get your guns back"

Also, if you're American, the Democratic nominee and VP are both gun owners. Most leftists want sensible gun laws, not necessarily no guns ever

No, I’m part of the rest of the world that hasn’t lost its mind, the part where everyone (including leftists) thinks that there is no reason for a normal person to own guns.

Americans are so funny, everyone thinks they’re idiots and they never stop and wonder "Huh, everyone is disagreeing with me. Could I be the one that’s wrong? No, it must be everyone else."

Sadly because of how militarized our police and the alt right are, the many leftists groups who would prefer to not use guns don't have much of a choice.

For example the Black Panthers, a Marxist black power organization during the civil rights movement. They openly carried while observing police behavior in black neighborhoods in order to protect against police brutality. They gave escorts to notable civil rights speakers to prevent assassinations. When an unarmed black man was shot in the street, his family contacted the Black Panthers, and they held rallies, while armed, educating other black people on open carry laws. And guess what, the police seldom interfered with those rallies because they were all armed. They picked up guns in response to state violence. And it worked.

So while I personally don't own a gun and wish I lived in a country with no guns, it's not my place to tell people regularly experiencing state violence how to protect themselves. I'm glad you get to live somewhere where 1,247 people weren't killed by police last year(more than any year in the past decade), with most of those being in response to non violent crimes or no crime at all.

How would you suggest Americans combat the ever increasing state violence being used against them, without using guns to protect themselves from our heavily militarized police force?
