They’re coming for your guns

Look in the mirror because that's the person most likely to get shot with your guns. Who do you love most in the world? Because they're number 2. This fantasy that gun ownership protects people, especially from the government needs to fucking die.
The natives had Guns; the Black Panthers had guns; Briana Taylor had an armed protector too.
Don't be coy, who are you going to shoot? People are being killed so you can buy guns and ammo on a whim, especially those "women, POC and LGBT folks".
Or is this just more astro-turfing from the gun lobby, targeting a new demographic after saturating their core "idiots, racists and domestic terrorists" market?
- The fearful, anxious and nervous have always been a core demographic for the gun lobby.
  This is the a big reason for gun control.
  some people are hunters, collectors or hobbyists. They probably follow gun safety and security rules, or live away from people so who cares
  some people are idiots, racists, and domestic terrorists. Hopefully the FBI is on the case
  but the nervous, anxious and fearful probably always have a loaded weapon at hand, not secured because they may “need it”, and are more likely to just start blasting away out of their own fear
  Yeah, the idiots, racists and domestic terrorists make the headlines with mass killings, but it’s the nervous, anxious and fearful that present the most danger for most of us. At any time, there could be an unsecured loaded weapon around for the taking or pulled out because someone got startled, or is in an unexpected situation, or approached by someone with the wrong skin color, or even in what should have been a minor altercation
- There are 393.3 million guns owned by private citizens in the United States. 46% of all households own at least one gun. Do you really think the gun manufacturers need to troll an overall meaningless social network, posting misinformation on some random-ass meme to push their agenda? I'm hoping your comment was satire and I just have a broken satire meter.

Plot twist: they come for his arms

They cannot do that! He has his right to bear arms!
- just the left one, then

It's too bad they keep talking about it as if it's going to happen, then.

EDIT: This is going to be my only response to people who say dems aren't trying to take away / ban guns from now on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW1HPoqqB_8

You people are funny.

Reminder that it was Reagan who took guns away in California because he didnt want Black Panthers having guns.
- I am 100% aware, thank you. But that doesn't change the fact that dems have to spout garbage about gun bans every time they open their mouths.
- Nobody who has been on Reddit or Lemmy for any amount of time needs a reminder about that because it gets repeated 1 million times per day on every platform whenever gun control is mentioned.
Totally. Like every day. I can't seem to find any specific examples though, would you mind helping me out with that?
- Google "assault weapons ban". Click the news tab. It's automatically sorted by newest.
That's the point. It's easier to control people with fear, uncertainty and doubt than with any kind of tangible action. Just give people something to hate and tell them you are their savior. It doesn't actually matter if you do anything about "it", just blame your enemies for your "failures".
Does that remind you of any quotes?
dems keep talking about taking all the guns?
When?

I see it's the gun lobby's season to milk profits again?

(checks watch) yeah it's been about 12 minutes since a toddler got murdered, cooldown period is complete.

Marx vs Reagan

The funny thing is that both Marx and Reagan were draft deferred and neither ever served in the military.
Both were fine with other people doing the fighting.

Still waiting for the vaccine to kill me. I was told I would be dead by September!

I’m a Dem. Give me your guns.

(e: did it work?)

Illinois is certainly trying

As long as they don't take your bear arms

- Not if you consider some of the shit the Commerce Clause has been used to justify. Consider Wickard v. Filburn (1942) in which a farmer who grew too much wheat was penalized, insisted it was for his personal use, and still got smacked down.
- I'm taking these for the police to use.
Eminent domain isn't in the constitution but gun rights are. That's not going to fly in the current supreme court.
- And notably the 4A.
  The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
