CMV: Democrats need to be pro-gun
As we endure a trump term, most democrats are sounding the alarm. Erosion of democratic norms, illegal kidnapping of immigrants, racial profiling, flaunting of the judiciary, extremist rhetoric. It's bad.
If you think Trump is a threat, you need to be arming your community. There's no way around it. That needs to happen both culturally (being afraid of guns is not a luxury you have right now) and legislatively (state level and federally.) An armed minority is harder to oppress.
A common counterargument here is "what are civilians with rifles going to do against tanks and fighter jets?" This is silly for a few reasons. ICE doesn't have fighter jets or tanks. In the event of a civil war, there are going to be a million factors limiting the use of said weapons, and some of them will end up on both sides. Even then, Ukraine has taught us that an FPV drone mounted to a mortar shell can take out tanks.
In a sense, this is actually an argument AGAINST gun control. If we want civilians to have an edge, why not allow them a larger selection of weapons? Why not allow some limited purchases of explosives or full auto weapons? Should a suppressor really be a regulated item?
