I think equating purchasing any firearm from anyone to financing the republican party isn’t really a sensible claim. It’s not like the profit from every gun sale is going directly to the NRA.
You don’t have to guess. Around $16 million dollars per year of that profit is going to far-right Republicans. It used to only be $8 million a year but for some mysterious reason it doubled in 2012.
Honestly, what more could the far-right possibly ask of their useful pro-gun idiots on the left? They’re allowing fascists and fuckwits to buy all the guns they want and enriching deeply evil groups and giving the state all the excuse they need to execute minorities in the street. Another 6 months of propaganda and you’ll be telling people on social media that it’s heroic to let neonazis finish in your mouth.
Fighting this unwinnable battle has done nothing but drive gun sales and secure easy votes for conservatives.
Not very consistent in your ideals are you? We’ve been waiting 40 years for guns to deliver on all the bullshit promises that gun advocates make. They’re going to stop crime, but the crime rate is functionally identical to the rest of the wealthy world, only with a layer of murder on top. They’re going to stop tyranny, but America is on the brink of fascism. They’re going to save all the minorities, but the most vulnerable groups are openly attacked by politicians and media organizations, with none of the progress made being owed to guns.
You’re here literally trying to drive up gun sales for a battle that isn’t just unwinnable, it’s demonstrably unnecessary.
Plus, even if we did somehow pass legislation through Congress, you really think the vultures on the current supreme Court would really let it stand?
Damn that sucks bro have you tried shooting them with your cool guns?
The only way America has ever passed gun control laws is when the “wrong people” armed themselves and started to make “up right citizens” nervous. If you really want gun control, arm yourself and make the “upright citizens” question the wisdom of their own beliefs.
Oh you mean the Black Panther Party? The people who did the exact thing you’re talking about? The ones who were demonized by the media and executed by the state? The ones whose goals still haven’t been achieved?
I know you’re trying for the slimy pro-gun “gun control is racist” talking point but all you’re really doing is giving an example of a group that committed to exactly what you’re advocating and it didn’t fucking work.
Lol, 8-16 million dollars is a tiny fraction of gun sales in America, you just proved my point.

My dude, they already have the guns. They already have their people in Congress and in the judicial system, gun laws are not happening. If you could actually pass them, I’d gladly give up my rifle.

Lol, I’m not trying to solve crime, I’m just protecting my home. Mainly because the state is unwilling to do so.

Personal protection is an unwinnable battle?

No I mean every weapons prohibition going back to before we were a country has been based on prohibiting people of color from protecting themselves. Free black families weren’t even allowed to own guard dogs, as it made it harder for lynching mobs to have their fun.
slimy pro-gun “gun control is racist”
Can you name a weapons prohibition in America that was not spurred on by race relations in America?
You are just a privileged liberal who has no grasp on anything outside your lily white bubble of comfort your life has afforded you.
I still haven’t heard how exactly you would confront someone who’s trying to do you violence. I know you have no experience being hated for the color of your skin, but I’m sure you have an imagination of sorts. So, how do you talk your way out of a hate crime?
