    I think they absolutely can win - just not the way the think they can, by busting out their glorious .22 (but in scawwy black so you know it’s MILITARY) and going head to head with THE OPPRESSOR

    Like, the examples of guerrilla warfare and government overthrows through the past two centuries are countless, and privately owned firearms have rarely played a major role, much less a pivotal one. Yet time and time again, these people buy into the same cheap propaganda that GOP fascists do.

      You’re right. I wasn’t thinking about guerilla tactics, I was thinking about their fantasy of a direct shooting war with the cops like some sort of modern gunfight at the O.K. Corrall. The cops won in that situation too, incidentally.

      They also really don’t like it when you ask them when they’re going to stop talking about it on Lemmy and start the glorious revolution.
