C'mon, this is easy... all you need is a large gathering of BLM people or antifa packing ARs and boom - this law will mysteriously pass before the media frenzy has had a chance to get it's shoes on.
I've been saying this for a decade. Let's get the sikhs out open carrying AKs.
Nah, the result of that would be the national guard getting called and an oppressive use of force to put everyone back in their places. The media would either briefly display it in the news ticker mentioning that our national heros quelled a local terrorist attack or just say nothing about it.
Do you know why they never called the national guard on the Black Panthers? Or why the pig never dared to confront them directly?
This is nothing more then a marketing campaign by the gun lobby to sell bullshit hero fantasies to left wing people too.
"The pig" killed 34 members of the Black Panther Party, including outright assassinations.
When the full details of the FBI involvment was revealed, the director of the agency issued a public apology for "wrongful use of power" and exactly 0 members of the pro-gun community used their guns to overthrow a government running projects like COINTELPRO.
The BPP being armed didn't just fail to deliver on everything you're promising, it provided all the justification the state needed to abuse and murder them -- an excuse police still use to this day.
The left doesn't need "marketing" to appreciate the value of modern-day weaponry - all we need for that is a proper understanding of the right and their liberal allies.
"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary" - the big kahuna himself, Karl Marx.
I'm no Marxist myself, but damn - when the guy was right he was really right.
It's pig. Not "pig".
I wonder why they couldn't just lynch Fred Hampton on the sidewalk like they did with George Floyd - it's a complete mystery to me.
Riiiight... because the fascists have always required an excuse to perpetrate mass-murder on people they consider "other," correct?
Lmao you'd lose any war you fought.
The idea that you can own a gun and be safe from state violence has never once paid off for anyone who buys into it.
Appeasing the status quo is only an option for the privileged, Clyde.
Do tell... will the pigs be siccing their Klan and neo-nazi proxies onto you first thing or won't they?
What a weird comment
Nothing strange about asking white liberals how they will be appeasing the fascists once the fascists are in power - after all, you will not be the ones they target first, will you?
... first they came for the communists
... and the pro-gun community did nothing because they hate communists.
The gun laws you're advocating armed this shithead and thousands of others like him.
He deliberately targeted minorities and legal gun owners did nothing to prevent it and will do nothing to prevent it happening again, because the only solutions they support are the ones that just happen to be most profitable to the gun lobby.
Your guns saved neither of those people but sure, tell us how George Floyd would have gone done in your little gun utopia.
Should George have shot the cops? He'd still be dead, only now the people who wanted to kill him would be walking free.
Should a passerby have shot the cops? They'd be dead instead of (or as well as) George and once again, the cops would be walking free, probably with an even bigger budget.
Your bullshit "lets just shoot our problems" doesn't help anybody except the far-right and the gun lobby.
You've done fuck all to create actual reforms, you just advocate other people sacrifice their lives.
If you're so convinced you have the solution to systemic violence and oppression, go out and shoot the county better. We're all waiting for you to make all this violence worth it, like you promise you will and have been promising you will for 20 years.
Until then, you're only aiding scumbags and can stick your guns down your piss hole.
We already have heavily armed BLM and Antifa folks. Oregon contains multitudes.
The law in question was doomed to fail. I'm halfway sure it was put on the ballot just to encourage pro gun people to vote.
Except even during the most destructive and violent of BLM riots had armed participants, the pro civil rights people continued to stand by gun rights. You've been proven wrong and too ignorant to realize it, or too dishonest to admit it.
Oh, it was BLM doing the violence? It wasn't the pigs and their neo-nazi proxies?
Oh, it's the white supremacists that are "pro-civil rights", is it?
I think you've just unmasked yourself, fashboi.
Yes, BLM caused violence and destruction for years during the fascist economic shutdown. Educate yourself
Found a fascist!
You're mistaken, I'm the anti fascist
You're about as "antifascist" as Joseph Goebbels was.
To you people a fart is fascist. It's like your new favorite toy
...says the pretend-"antifascist."
Yes. What I'm doing here is facing off against fascism
Oh look, everybody... a fascist is pretending to be "against fascism."
How cute!
