If there’s anything I’ve learned from history, it’s that the police will allow Nazis to strut around with rifles, threaten violence, and sometimes even actually enact violence, but as soon as minorities follow suit, they change the laws.
The largest successful gun control measure in the US was spearheaded by Governor Ronald Reagan in response to the Black Panther Community Policing efforts, which were widely successful in reducing police violence and false arrests in black communities in California. I’m all for what they call in The Grapes of Wrath “Turkey Shoots”, but just be aware that you can expect the rules to change as soon as you do if you’re part of a marginalized group.
That’s why you should show up to protests armed. Either they leave your ass alone cuz they’re afraid or they abolish 2nd amendment.
