This is a poor take. Assault Rifles vs the US military would be a short civil war. Plus most of the gun enthusiasts are on the side of the anti-democratic right and would happily start to help out with culling those who disagree.And people think it would be better if the US public was unarmed.
I mean, if this shithousery succeded, and weirder things have happened, what recourse would an unarmed public have?
1) Are you saying all the US military would slaughter the public? (Should we therefore disband the bunch of cunts, I don't necessarily disagree with you on that - but: Ukraine vs Russia? I mean, vastly outnumbered etc. etc.)This is a poor take. Assault Rifles vs the US military would be a short civil war.

2) I think you're caricaturing gun enthusiasts and it's more complex than that - for a start, I know non-enthusiast Americans who own guns.
3) Civil war would be messy as fuck.
and, ignoring all of the above as it's a sideshow:
4) What's the alternative again? If the shysters win, how else do you have a chance?
You ain't voting people out if democracy isn't a thing any more are you now Mr @Wij.

How did they bring down Ceaucescu? Not with pre-existing armed militias waving Confederate flags.1) Are you saying all the US military would slaughter the public?

Luckily it doesn't need it.You'd better stop using sterling then because Prince Andrew sure as shit endorses that.

I tried to agree with you @Wij but my covid piss eyes and fat old thumb clicked on the funny reaction. Sorry old bean.This is a poor take.

The day after that happens is the day no more words get typed here because they're no longer requiredForum software needs reaction tbh
