OP, are you aware that thetrace.org is an anti American publication? Jennifer Mascia headlined this as if civilians shouldn’t uphold their second amendment right to bear arms and hold tyrants accountable. Americans should call out the publication for how unAmerican that company is.
Overall, we rate The Trace left-center biased based on its political positions supporting gun control and high for factual reporting due to using highly credible sources and a clean fact check record.
Because the tool of oppression can also be a tool of liberation. Because the power to take a life is also the power to save a life. Because with power comes responsibility, and if people cannot handle that responsibility then we as a society should not be granting them that power.
I can in fact be in favor of both the right to own firearms and the use of legal controls on firearms. If you can’t understand that then I’m afraid I can’t help you.
I see. So instead of reflecting that leftist want bolt cutters, master keys, and seeds, you prefer to cognitive dissonance yourself your need to oppress instead.
Safety isn’t control. And in tyrannical occupation, more tools to liberate the better. The fact you confuse the two says you want to oppress folks instead.

Well, said civilians are doing a shit job right now when there’s an actual tyrant… So… Shit or get off the pot…
They’re not, but genocide is also a very American act gestures at manifest destiny. My point isn’t that entities hostile to America are good guys by default, but that so-called American values are and have always been a farce and that supporting or opposing something depending on its "American-ness’ is illogical.
Because those are what Americans think they believe in, not what they actually believe in when push comes to shove. You overthrow an American-aligned tyrant and you’re suddenly a terrorist, the wrong people wield guns and they’re suddenly taken away (see: Black Panthers) and I’d certainly like someone to tell the prison-industrial complex about the liberty stuff. Americans like to call these “American values,” but if you care at all about these values and take even a cursory look through America’s history and at its modern states, the only logical conclusion is to hate America’s guts. Therefore, being un-American or anti-American says nothing about one’s disposition towards tyranny or liberty.

Reread your quote. Leftists do not support “control,” much less that of your prohibition to arm yourself. Those are tory plights.
They can and do support both.
How do you support tools of oppression as a leftist?
Because the tool of oppression can also be a tool of liberation. Because the power to take a life is also the power to save a life. Because with power comes responsibility, and if people cannot handle that responsibility then we as a society should not be granting them that power.
I can in fact be in favor of both the right to own firearms and the use of legal controls on firearms. If you can’t understand that then I’m afraid I can’t help you.

I think you’re just putting the words you want to hear into my mouth. Why don’t you go pet a dog instead?
Ah, domestication. I see your absolution then.
Leave us praxing anarchists alone as well then. We don’t want slavery and leashes.
I’d wager they’re an American, where they believe their conservative-lite Democratic party is left leaning.

I found it hilarious disarmament folks are downvoting me to hell, when I’m not even American.
“Unamerican” is just another word for “sane” and has always been save for a short period during the 1940s.
So, are China’s genocides “sane,” after the 1940s ofc?
They’re not, but genocide is also a very American act gestures at manifest destiny. My point isn’t that entities hostile to America are good guys by default, but that so-called American values are and have always been a farce and that supporting or opposing something depending on its "American-ness’ is illogical.
How are the American-ness values of liberty, arms, and the right to overthrow tyrants “insane” or “illogical”?
Because those are what Americans think they believe in, not what they actually believe in when push comes to shove. You overthrow an American-aligned tyrant and you’re suddenly a terrorist, the wrong people wield guns and they’re suddenly taken away (see: Black Panthers) and I’d certainly like someone to tell the prison-industrial complex about the liberty stuff. Americans like to call these “American values,” but if you care at all about these values and take even a cursory look through America’s history and at its modern states, the only logical conclusion is to hate America’s guts. Therefore, being un-American or anti-American says nothing about one’s disposition towards tyranny or liberty.
Then let’s hope to end hypocrisy as well, because the publication in the source wants to oppress by disarmament.
