I don’t really know who this guy is but he makes a compelling argument.

Liberals are not leftists.
Correct.
And both should be buying guns. As should progressives, moderates, social democrats, neoliberals, real libertarians, and real conservatives (non-reactionary, anti-Trump Lincoln Project types).
It’s a myth that the left is against guns. The left has always known it needs to be armed. Liberals are the ones that want to get rid of guns. Because they want the Monopoly of force to Crackdown on unions.
I don’t see why you can’t buy a gun and support intelligent gun laws.
Because all of the “intelligent” gun laws outlaw guns.

Australia had a terrible mass shooting, instituted strong laws, and the result was more guns and no new shootings.
I think you might want to buy a device that has a “search engine.” That way you wouldn’t post things that aren’t true
Oh boy, the myth of Australian gun control working. I have a entire wall of text with sources I can go dig up, but the gist is that Australia’s violent crime rate matched the rest of the western world. But because this is Lemmy, no matter how many sources I link, none of y’all will ever change your mind.
Because y’all are close minded assholes.
Edit; Actually screw it, here you go. https://old.reddit.com/r/gunpolitics/comments/b6cgir/the_us_should_adopt_australias_gun_laws_says/ejkl8hb/
Just post about all the mass shootings they’ve had. I couldn’t find any, but I am willing to be proven wrong
Also, literally first result on google. 6 people dead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Darwin_shooting
Also a mass stabbing where 7 people died. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bondi_Junction_stabbings
One mass shooting and a stabbing.
Australia has a population of about 30 million, about the same as Texas.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_shootings_in_Texas
About 14 mass shooting in Texas in the same time.
You didn’t even bother looking at the sources I linked? Fuck you, prick.
I say let all americans have guns. Reduce restrictions. Yall massively reduce your insane population pretty quickly
You don’t realize that we all already can have them? It’s the right of all US citizens, and even children can own and use guns (with adult supervision) here.
What you describe is actually the status quo and it’s not reducing the population at all. Gun homicides are not even in the top 10 most common causes of death in the USA.
Ban is a pipe dream. There are more guns here than people, and it ain’t trending down. If your political enemies have been arming themselves for decades, and fantasizing about killing you… you would have to be a fool to willingly disarm yourself. It can happen here. Obtain and train.
You should buy a gun, take it from a non-liberal. Political power grows through its barrel and the fascists know this. Do not let them have that power over you.
Well I can tell you one thing, a ban isn’t going to do shit to protect American society when there’s already millions of guns in circulation without registration. More guns than people in fact, enough to arm everyone who has arms to hold them with.
Even Bernie Sanders was pro-2A before he went mainstream with the presidential campaign. It helps bring Independent voters in too.
Even if they somehow went full ban, the cat has pretty much run off with the bag on 3D printed weapons. There’s a ways to go on really making ghost guns safer and more effective, but a full ban would be exactly the fire-under-the-ass a lot of people need to work those issues out.
