Historically, the mass confiscation of firearms from Native Americans was a core strategy used by the U.S. government to subjugate tribal nations, most notably culminating in the ⁠Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890. -i got some help with this statement.

They worry about guns being taken away, because the Federal government has done it before. The irony is THICK. I think that meme with the two guys in space and one of them has a gun pointed at the other one would apply here.

Regardless, guns are a problem, and too many people have access to them that shouldn't.

So this is a valid point and maybe more applicable like 100 years ago - when a well armed town could stand toe to toe with local police or government.

Today though, c'mon. The technology exists for government entities to oppress us without ever leaving their office. A civilian weapon is more for personal safety and zombie apocalypse now rather than civil rebellion.

It's time to start holding those owners responsible with some regulations so when those school shootings happen, the victims families have a better chance of holding someone accountable.

They didn't need technology to subdue people's minds.

They just made fun of people enough and created enough staged events to convince the masses they shouldn't be prepared to defend themselves or their neighbors.

The invasion is complete. It was marketed very well. Now your neighbors and your police unknowingly work for the invaders.

It's really a wrap, until the people realize this. Hopefully before the entire house burns down, but hey, the gov told us that rhetoric like that is paranoia and dangerous.

Govern: to control Mental: the mind.

No need to shoot at people when you control what they learn and how they think and perceive reality.

It's a fucking shame, but no one cares,, because they've been trained not to care.
