The pro AR-15 argument comes down to “preventing state tyranny.” In other words, “I need an AR-15 because one day I might have to mow down a bunch of U.S. soldiers. Don’t get me wrong, I support the troops. I just want to be ready to murder as many as possible if necessary.”

Replying to @danagould @samriegel
“AR-15s aren’t even automatic. There’s no need to ban them” “I’m gonna need my AR-15 to take out the army, including tanks and helicopters, when they turn against us”

Disarming oneself in the wake of fascism is never a good idea regardless.

At least if we had more gun regulation (that’s not to say we disarm everyone of every weapon), we’d see a decrease in gun-related deaths caused by mentally unstable people that shouldn’t be allowed to have guns in the first place.

So, your argument is a fatalist one? Sorry, Jack. That's not going to solve any problems but the peace of mind of those who exploit others to begin with. This won't stop white supremacists from getting guns. Gun control laws disproportionately target minority groups.

Thats assuming white supremacists are even a large-scale threat. They’re a loud minority in my book, and if we can regulate guns like we do anything else in this country, we’d be much better off. We dont need weapons designed for mass murder if we’re just holding for self defense

Yes, the majority of “extremist” killings. All extremists are still minorities. Mass producing weapons and making them widely available to anyone in America to quickly buy and shoot up their local movie theatre or elementary school is way more dangerous imo

I think you misunderstand when people say "minorities" as I am referring to PoC. And the demographic that perpetuates mass shootings are not the ones that are targeted by gun control. Usually it's some edgy white incel that read Mein Kampf with a sense of entitlement. Or below.pic.twitter.com/20nuWqseUC
