The idea, promoted by Twitter gurus like Mike Cernovich and Scott Adams, that the riots and the new gun buyers would end gun control as an issue in our time, is nonsense, as some of us pointed out.

We're not in normal political circumstances, obviously. Political predictions made on the basis of normal assumptions are very tenable. We're in the middle of a revolution. They don't care about normal electoral consequences, since they plan on burning the old electoral system to the ground and wielding power by other means. They'll push hard on the issue, especially if they win big in November.

And, no matter what, Red Flagging conservatives as "extremists" based on internet posts and then seizing firearms will start picking up steam in the states.

Replace gun with anything else which is precious to you: money, mobile phones, houses...

Give them all to the authorities as I am an imbecile irresponsible faggot who cannot take care of myself.

I've got an idea... how about keeping criminals in jail?

HuggableBear 15 points ago +15 / -0

No, no, see, the law abiding gun owners should stop buying guns so that criminals can't steal their guns and then use them to commit more crimes.

You know, because that makes more sense than just arresting the people that commit the crimes and locking them away because they gave up their right to participate in society.

I'm coming to a simple realization. There's only one way out of this and I'm not getting out alive.

Soon it will be that the rioters are actually protesting white supremacist gun violence, since whites "have all the money" and thus choose to buy guns to "oppress BIPOC." In fact, whites owning guns is what created white cultural supremacy in the first place, which is why cops themselves were created to oppress, harass, and even kill BIPOC.

The correct solution is for whites to hand over their weapons as well as their wealth and their homes to even out the disparity - true reparations can't be reparations without BIPOC seizing the weapons that made them oppressed in the first place.

I'm actually surprised I haven't heard this shit already.

WTF is a BIPOC?? Jesus, the left love their letters. Classify everyone into little groups for better control...

Black/Indigenous Person of Color.

It used to be just POC - people of color - until the black and indigenous subgroups successfully pushed to be moar specialer than Asians and Latinos.

Before that it was colored people - but adding a preposition makes it less racist.

I prefer gun buy-backs. $10 worth of hardware store pipe-fittings and pieces for a DIY shotgun, and they give you $100.

Yes in the form of some shitty gift card probably

A lot of them give you cash.

Because of their whole "Don't be afraid, no questions asked" scheme, you walk up to a car and it's like a drug deal. You tell them what you've got, they say "Okay, get lost" and pay you and you make the exchange with someone else.

Giving up your guns is always stupid, but especially so when Larry Krasner is in charge of the law of land.

Something to keep in mind here, folks:

The headline in the tweet only says "an increase in shootings". It doesn't say WHO is getting shot. Could be looters and rioters getting shot by scared citizens and homeowners.

And, the following is a fairly wild guess, but when a mob of looters or rioters is doing their thing and one of them gets shot, their buddies probably won't be very likely to call the police..............

Do people just have guns "lying around their homes"? I know where all mine are and their status at all times.

cob05 1 point ago +1 / -0

You mean you don't just find random guns lying around your house!? According to the left your toddler should be teething on one, your wife should be pulling 3 out of little Jimmy's pockets before doing the laundry, and your teen daughter should be using one as a doorstop in her bedroom! They really are clowns 🤡 😂

That being said though, if any of those morons really do just have guns just lying around in their houses then I would prefer the police to take them and secure them.

Telling lawful gun owners to give up their guns to end lawless shootings is almost as stupid as telling healthy people to quarantine themselves.

ViperBugatti 4 points ago +4 / -0

The way this was worded had me thinking they were going to show up and check. My reply would have been fuck off and come back with a warrant. Just checked into this more and it says they are asking people to look through their own homes and turn in guns they may have. Either way if any law abiding gun owners did this they are retarded.

Remember, it worked with the masks. All they need to do is convince the soccer moms and the normies that guns are some sort of imminent "public health threat".

Suddenly, you'll be the bad guy for even suggesting that a person should arm themselves.

You'll cry "This is America! We have the Second Amendment!", but everyone will be too scared of dying to even understand the words.

Seriously, all it will take is a decent sized urban "skirmish", and the Dem governors will issue emergency gun confiscation orders while closing down gun shops. Then we'll have a shitshow of FFLs burning their records and/or going to jail while neighborhood Karens start ratting out their neighbors.

$100 million dollars says they didn't start going door to door checking for guns in the hood.

Where all the illegal guns are.

Because reasons.

We just got guns lying around the house. Anyone could walk in and take one. What kind of idiots are these people? If you get anywhere near my gun you’ll wish you didn’t.

Community groups? As in community organizer type community groups going door to door checking for guns?

The left: "Turn in your weapons! The police will protect you!"

Also the left: "All cops are racist bastards and we need to abolish them! Get rid of all cops!"

I originally read this as:

"Philadelphia is SEEKING an increase in shootings..."

Which made more sense, contextually, than what is actually written.
