And in the face a fascism we should be telling people on the left to disarm themselves?
He’s better than the establishment in the DNC, but that like saying oral herpes is better than getting your lips ripped off by a pitbull. It’s still not a great scenario either way you look at it.
Death by a thousand cuts. That’s the end goal. Your idea that gun control isn’t disarming everyone, is like saying ICE is only deporting the real law breakers.
I didn’t say it was? However, if we currently had stricter gun control who do you think the current administration would be attempting to utilize those laws to prosecute?
If we had a fair legal system and our political leaders weren’t literal fascist, I would absolutely advocate for strict gun control. That’s just not the political landscape we currently inhabit.
If those laws were present today, you would have the ATF hunting down every brown person with a gun and right winged chuds would be free to keep their massive arsenals, ensuring that christo-fascist maintain an absolute monopoly on violence.
The original comment I responded to was “let’s not act like a gun control zealot is what the US “left” needs right now”. Right now, we don’t have those stricter gun control laws, so your theoretical universe with the slippery slope is irrelevant. This is a race for NY Mayor, and Mamdani is exactly what we need right now.
How is it not? Any zealot that has good intentions is what we need right now. Placating the right got us fascism.

I dunno, I disagree but I don’t have other facts to back up that opinion.
Thank you for the insight.
