Supreme Court rules gun 'bump stocks’ ban is unlawful - Lemmy.World

the right to bear arms exists to protect people from tyrants

the whole premise of this right is that we can’t trust the government to keep our liberty safe because they could become the tyrants. if one day some religious idiot comes into power who doesn’t want women learning math, you may end up glad that conservatives have made it easier for women to fight for their liberty by refusing to allow these rights to be eroded

I agree with the first part. It was supposed to be a check and balance to government power and oppression. It gives people the power to fight back against injustice.

However, in the time of intercontinental missiles, planes, tanks, and remote operated drones, are a bunch of peasants with guns actually going to do anything if the government turned on its people? Does the “right to bear arms” not extend to other, non-gun weapons?

Guns would at least cause some difficulty oppressing people.
/looks around - That doesn’t seem to be the case. A.I. has a better chance of repositioning the social locus of control.

Gun owners are literally the most cowardly people on the planet

Yous are scared of your own fucking shadows

“Whatcha scared of, coward?” “Uh, just other cowards is all” 😂

I don’t own a gun. I’m from a country where it’s not an option. To assume makes an ASS out of u and me.

Your point is bullshit. Not all people are good. Rapists exist. Serial killers exist. I’d like some options if I ever ran into one.

Imagine a world in which men could not own guns…

But women and intersex persons were given as many guns as they wanted for free.

What would it be like?

Probably better.

yes, only people with the luxury of owning guns could understand the terror of being unarmed

just because conservatives fight for a right doesn’t mean it’s bad. this is the 1 thing conservatives are right about

the problem is liberals don’t take this as opportunity to promote more female gun ownership and tactical training. a society of armed women is a society of women who will learn math and possess their own bodies
