Daily Reminder: Thomas Massie is not your ally. He's just another immoral fascist rethuglican
(lemmy.world)
There are no good Republicans.
None. Zip Zilch Zero None Of Them Not A Single Pleasant Person.
They are a revolting corrupt embezzlement ring with literally zero redeeming qualities
Fuck Trump and his spineless boot licking thugs and Fuck Massie and his rose-tinted followers.
Release the Epstein files transparency proposition WITHOUT that gun obsessed bigoted hack's contribution or prosperity.
About $100k of iron in that pic (assuming the 60/uzi/Thompson are all fully functional and not just replica/semi auto.
I have mine because they have theirs.
And who profits but the gun manufacturers, while net societal safety drops.
I wasn't going to share the story because I felt it too dark. But a coworker years ago told me the first people he would kill in the "shit hits the fan" scenario is his neighbors because they would be the first to ask for help/target him.
The fact that a single nut job is out there thinking this was enough to adjust my stance on owning fire arms.
I keep thinking that USA is just a Vault Tec experiment in human behaviour under constant pressures.
For real, they do all that experimentation out in the open. No vaults required.
Well you may want to look up how gun control came to be a talking point, and why Fred Hampton was viewed as such a threat, he was murdered in his bed, next to his pregnant, sleeping wife (hint: youth breakfast and exercise program).
Gun manufacturers are a part of society, and a very rich part.
The entire world demands guns, and the USA provides. More than the top six suppliers combined (including China and Russia).
Every state in the union is part of the arms industry. Even Hawaii.
Most of the guns used in crimes in Canada and Mexicr were smuggled in from the USA.
A truly moral society wouldn't be providing the weapons that criminals demand.
I do by having a bunch of really cool guns
Go far enough left and keep your guns. Also, blessing Chairman Fred and Comrade Newton.
Only until the revolution though. Then they get taken away again.
Reagan pushed gun control.

Relevance? We are talking about "far enough left", just a reminder.
Don't paint revolutions the same. Material conditions are analyzed, policy is formed and applied.
Wow Reagan was a leftist? Just how far right are you bro?
"Reading comprehension it's above me bro!" 🤓
Honestly, that's much lower than I expected. Knowing very little about firearm costs (haven't shot anything since college), I would have guessed probably double that.
Guns are a lot cheaper than you'd expect. An ar-15 is like $500 for a simple build. Most handguns are similar. The ones here are only expensive because they're machine guns
and no braincell in between them, they sold it to buy all those guns.
You'd think they'd be able to afford ammo, then. :)
