    Guns have already proliferated. Most people that have them have a lot of them. Someone with 20 guns can’t kill you any deader than he can with one. Just don’t wait for the cops to disarm the right wingers, because they never will. If things are going where it looks like they’re going, I would rather not bring a fist (or a trenchant legal argument) to a gun fight.

      “Buy a gun so the fascists don’t kill you” is the exact argument the fascists used to proliferate guns.

        Don’t you understand how something can be true when one person says it, but not true when someone else says it?

          Sure, but I just disagree in this case. It’s the same thing. Proliferating guns is the best way to prevent them from being banned. A gun owner never wants to give up their gun.

              We’ll need luck… everything is fucked. But I stand by belief that we need fewer guns, not more. Even if it’s not a realistic outcome.
