Yesterday I came across a 'meme' about the second amendment in the US and it sticked with me..
The second amendment (gun BS law) was created with the Musket in mind that could fire ~max 2 rounds per minute.
These days many (US Fanboys 
) don't have Muskets anymore but AR15's for example. This stupid weapon fires 400 rounds per minute ⚠️ What the actually fucking fuck is what I ask..
For hunting deer? "Protecting" yourself? From what? Aliens?
This shit is one of the things keeping me from moving there. Why would I want ppl around me who think guns are okay and cool..
I call it a sickness.
Fuck guns!
There were rifled weapons being made and prototyped and the puckle gun existed which showed that high rates of fire could be achieved
Just like those in the 60s didn’t envision the moon landing technology as the peak of space technology, neither did those in the 18th century see muskets as the final evolution either
It took less than 100 years after the amendment for the Gatling gun to come out
uspol redux
@Arcana @stux every time a people the US rose up to protect themselves from the tyranny *of* the US, they were brutally beaten down, and then the laws were amended so it would be harder for *them* to get weapons.
black panthers patrolling black neighbourhoods to protect them from police brutality is an insurrection.
mass shootings in schools twice a day is a terrible tragedy that nobody can do nothing against. it also keeps people in check, so 🤷🏻♀️
re: uspol redux
Before 1986, it was possible to obtain fully automatic weapons easily and yet this did not increase school shooting rates, in fact there were barely any
Firearms are not the issue causing this, and the proletariat should not be disarmed to address an issue that is not even caused by firearms in the first place, that just plays into the state’s narrative
An ever increasing erosion of community, and material conditions is driving the rise in these things. To target firearms is to put a band aid over a very serious and worsening issue that neoliberal system of government cannot fix and in fact makes increasingly worse
Minority groups should be armed, and any attempts to disarm the working classes should be resisted. Especially with how many police and soldiers have right leaning tendencies, supporting laws to make them the only ones capable of bearing arms is incredibly dangerous
gun politics
But, active school shootings have not increased. Non-active shooting as a side category has increased dramatically. The definition of non-active continues to broaden and includes such things as being caught with a weapon, having made possibly idle threats, or even "acting suspicious".
Active shooting extremely low, and has not changed much on average.
