    Unfortunately the same group who wants this also wants to disarm everyone…good luck on your guillotining when the only people are armed are the bodyguards protecting the people you want headless.

    Edit: apparently this hurt some feelings

      ‘Disarm everyone’ is generally a liberal position, ‘guillotine the rich’ is generally a far left position, and plenty of leftists are pro-gun.

      Under no pretext, etc.

        The mix is higher than it should be though, tons of people who agree with the eat the rich are also the disarm everyone type.

          I suspect a lot of them are just memeing, and would get very squeamish very quickly once the guillotines start being built

        Soap, ballot, jury, cartridge…we are in the ballot/jury section. You don’t just start with the last box because it’s available…no wonder you euros have so many wars under your belts, you just go right to fighting.

          I have no idea what you are talking about. But the usa is alway at some war, just that the war is never on their own ground. My country had a war ~30 years ago, and is still recivering from the propaganda. Usa never stoped the propaganda.

            The last civil war we had was almost two centuries ago, and the last war we fought a neighbor was about just as far back…yea we are at war a lot but it’s not internally.

        Obviously.

        I mean, if you had actually done any of the things for which us usaians actually use those guns, you probably wouldn’t be around to make such a comment.

        Between not having guns yourself and not engaging in the behaviors for which we carry guns, when would you expect to see guns being used for their intended purposes?

          Uhm… You know you got the guns specifically to fight over-bearing feudal lords ?

          And from what i see online, guns are mostly used to shoot inocent people. Edit: and crackheads, that your overlords created.

            You are telling me why I have guns?

            Mine must be defective. I’ve used them a lot, but never managed to hit an innocent person.
