    “People who are pro-democracy being armed are enabling fascists, only the government (which as we’ve established is dangerously close to being controlled by fascists) should be armed, just give them a full monopoly on violence already!”

    I can’t tell if this is a troll account or some sort of bad attempt by a right wing plant, because surely nobody could argue this in good faith

      Off you go then, time to shoot the government. The state is executing civilians in the street, imprisoning minorities to use as slaves, funnelling billions of dollars into an oppressive war that mostly kills children and there’s a fascist running for office.

      I’m sure once you’ve been gunned down and your crush has finished sobbing over your body and your boss has given a speech about how they never truly appreciated you, America’s fascists will surrender the power they have and America will become a democracy to rival… All the other democracies that don’t casually arm criminals, wife beaters and suicidal children.

      Until then, you’re a grown man telling people your hero fantasies with all the credibility of a child saying they’re in the Avengers. Being pro-democracy isn’t a requirement for buying a gun and you’ve killed exactly zero fascists.

        It’d get more done than you just perpetually bitching about it on the internet, I suppose

          Just openly stating your double standard isn’t likely to be a winning strategy.

          You’re adamant that your guns are the solution to problems that are happening right now, but I know for a fact that all you’ve done is talk about them on the internet, because if you followed through on any of it you’d be on the news (and also dead).

          But apparently, you’re a hero anyway.

          I’m adamant that gun control is the solution to problems that are happening right now. You’re guessing that all I’ve done is talk about them on the internet, because you don’t have any of the information you’d need to know for sure.

          But apparently, all I’m doing is bitching.

          I guess when you live in a fantasy world, you can pretend the good guys are the ones that insist they have the solution, do nothing to enact it yet still work tirelessly to block any alternatives.

          Back in reality though, those people are dogshit.
