This is why we need to neuter the 2nd amendment. The only thing preventing us from equitable redistribution is armed resistance from the middle class. Boomer dad with his dusty AR15 can defend his family with enough force to be a deterrent to the state.

Wow, this is a take on gun control I don't think I've ever seen:
"Lack of gun control is preventing the state from forcibly redistributing the wealth of middle class families." (And this is bad).
NRA, eat your hearts out, I guess.

"Lack of gun control" is why 1/10 of the adult population in this country were able to joyfully refuse the public health covid vaccine mandates. The state should've been able to show up at their doorsteps, force vaccination, or at the very least send them to the camps like Australia did. The problem was that it would only take one martyr to start spraying his high capacity assault rifle from his second floor bedroom window and then it'd be civil war 2.0.

It was actually closer to 3/10 of the adult population.

poe's law. I can't tell if you are trolling sarcastically or actually a progressive.

That's the strongest argument in favor of the Second Amendment I've ever seen.

We need to sell the white supremacists on smart guns. Possibly even subsidize it. In the event of another state of emergency, we can remotely disable the guns, and then get 100% vaccination compliance instead of the half measures of 2021.

Every time I hear "smart guns", all I can imagine is some redneck yelling at their gun, "Alexa, turn off the safety!" and a little Alexa voice coming out of their smart gun, "Now playing Turn Off The Safety by Some Gen Z Artist Nobody Has Heard Of".

Some sort of troll I'm guessing.

The second amendment is not a credible deterrent to government violence. Those gun nuts can bring every weapon they like, all 400 million of them, to a battlefield and they will be wiped out in a couple weeks by the US military. They are not Afghanis who have spent generations surviving in war, they are fat fucks on blood pressure medication with gun fetishes.

So true. I grew up in Trump country. Most of these people have one foot in the grave--proudly declaring their love of pork shoulder and beer.
A caravan of excessively loud Harleys recently commanded my attention. Driven by aging pork lords ferrying humongous wives on the back, I could only take solace in that they would all be dead in a few years. However, our schools are still producing these people. You should check out the YouTube videos where these people show up at town council. All hope fades.
