    I’m willing to consider any proposed law (as a thought experiment since the left has no electoral power) but generally speaking I have low expectations for any laws written by lobbyists, passed by capitalists, and enforced by fascists.

    If the police are the enforcing agents then it will only further concentrate firearms in the hands of the right. As long as they’re armed, we need to be.

      Revolution is gonna be much more impacted by other variables than proletarian gun ownership. If we ever get to the point where seizing infrastructure is a possibility, then access to guns will be more important. But that’s still a lot more about supply lines and logistics than individuals with some small arms and 500 rounds of ammo.

      Like, guns are cool and important for surviving the oncoming instability as individuals and small groups, but they don’t hold much revolutionary purpose right now.
