VikingofRock posted:It's actually possible to change without a constitutional amendment—all you need is a supreme court willing to overturn DC vs. Heller (2008). You probably can't ban guns altogether with that, but you could ban handguns and put serious licensing / storage requirements on other guns. That's good to know and another reason to add to the stack the courts pile, thanks!

I wonder. Given how the police have pretty much perfect the execution method of "We THOUGHT he had a gun!", them shooting a black guy open-carrying his legal rifle would not even register with the average republican as anything other than our brave blue boys keeping things safe for real americans. Ask Philando Castille how consistent conservatives are about gun rights.

Yeah, but bear in mind that cops are cowards. They only feel safe going after someone when they have all of the guns on top of 5-1 odds in their favor. That's why the story would probably turn out differently if some cop tried rolling up on a group of armed Black Panthers who were willing and able to fight back, compared to one lone guy who was obeying the law and didn't even have the gun within arm's reach. Cops won't start a fight they don't think they can win.

I don't think so. I think the cops would turn to live ammunition immediately and Fox news would call it an insurrection. Edit: a chud had a child at stoneman douglas. I dont remeber what happened to her, but I remeber him directly being asked about itnchangimg his stance and he said no. Them losing a loved one in a mass shooting will not change their mind. They were a sacrifice for the gun god so they could plink at rusty cars or paper targets on the weekends. Meatball fucked around with this message at 13:00 on May 10, 2021 |

Which is why they would likely follow one of those black panthers and try to bust him by himself later when he's picking up his kid from school or driving somewhere. They just smelled pot on his car from 500 feet away! Then, after that guy's death gets everyone nice and riled and protesting, call the National Guard to take the heat while weeping about how poorly they are treated.

I mean... that was kind of the goal of NFAC. I don't think it's really convinced any Republicans to change the gun laws. I don't think there's anything that would get the Republican Party to change their mind, it'll just be something they're forced to deal with if laws ever get changed due to Democratic control and/or they're able to pick off a couple Republican politicians to support it as well. E: For an easy example of this, look at Australia. A lot of the conservative politicians and citizens were furious about their gun law changes back in the 90s. Then, after a decade or so, it's not a big deal anymore. Kalit fucked around with this message at 13:44 on May 10, 2021 |

Kalit posted:I mean... that was kind of the goal of NFAC. I would look at Canada as a model because it's practically identical to us except people don't stop and think about their bank account before they call an ambulance- significantly more gun control than here but absolutely nothing stopping you from going hunting or target shooting or whatever. Hell I spent more time shooting living in Ontario and Québec than in Texas. Somehow vastly fewer gun crimes tho. It's not perfect of course- the Ecole Polytechnique shooting was a model for murderous incels everywhere- but it's an improvement.

Sanguinia posted:Yeah, Black People taking advantage of open carry in large enough numbers that police can't easily stop them with overwhelming force is pretty clearly the only thing that could possibly get the Republicans to act on Gun Control. I'm not sure about that anymore. I think we're past even that. Remember the BLM shooting in Dallas? You had a black man shooting cops and explicitly stating that he wanted to kill white people and especially cops. This happened during a BLM rally. I cannot imagine a more red meat scenario for the GOP, but not even a peep happened WRT gun control. Racism and the fantasy of being able to murder black people is an enormous and vital part of gun culture in the US, but it is no longer *the* main force. Guns have truly become part of these people's identities and sense of manhood. And so the question now ceases being 'under what situation will you consent to having your guns taken away' and becomes fairly literally 'what would it take to make you agree to being castrated?' If anything the more armed black communities become the more armed the Republicans will be. An arms race, not gun control, is the result of black communities open carrying in large numbers. EDIT: To clarify, I'm not saying I'm necessarily opposed to what may be a necessary arms race. I'm not here to tell black people how to best try and protect themselves and their loved ones. I'm just saying I think gun control, at least in the sense of trying to win over these people, is absolutely a lost battle and you will never make any progress on the issue until the GOP's power is broken.

Conservatives are all liars so they'll never admit it. NRA folks didn't say poo poo after Philando was murdered for legally carrying (while black). Also, yesterday was John Browns birthday. loving legend. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Brown_(abolitionist) "John H. Brown (May 9, 1800 – December 2, 1859) was an American abolitionist leader. Brown felt that violence was necessary to end American slavery, as years of speeches, sermons, petitions, and moral persuasion had failed.[1] A religious man more than anything else,[2][3] Brown believed he was raised up by God to strike the death blow to American slavery, believing that God placed certain men on Earth to perform deeds ahead of their countrymen. He was certain in the morality of his cause, willing to sacrifice both his own life and the lives of others to achieve his dream of ending American slavery[4][5]" The Sean fucked around with this message at 15:23 on May 10, 2021 |

During the siege in the firehouse Harper's Ferry, one of his sons (Owen I believe) had gotten gutshot and was being loud I guess. John told him to shut up and die like a man. Robert E. Lee would've killed John if he hasn't grabbed his ceremonial sword by accident. Also after he got captured, friends sent word to him that they were planning a rescue, but John forbid it out of concern for his jailer's safety. John Wilkes Booth was one of the Virginia militiamen that witnessed his hanging. Also he should've come up with a better plan. Murgos posted:John Brown was right. John Brown's actions are widely cited in any lead up to the ACW. Whether they merely exposed the extent of the underlying feelings and emotions or had a causative effect doesn't really make a difference. During the raid John took pikes with him to use, until they could steal the guns. Well, after the failed action, pikes were sent to each southern governor as a warning of what was expected.

friendbot2000 posted:https://twitter.com/vpapupdates/status/1391764914742644739?s=19 Something I hadn't realized until reading up yesterday is that the VAGOP, in a last-ditch attempt to prevent human election forfeit Amanda Chase from being nominated, has adopted ranked choice voting for their "convention" this year. They'll never support it for an actual election, but they're desperate enough to employ voting reforms to reduce vote splitting and increase the likelihood of nominating a broadly acceptable candidate in their own private election. It'll still fail, probably; ranked choice voting can't save you from your own electorate being cuckoo for Hitler Puffs. But they're hoping all the Not Amanda Chase candidates' supporters will list the other candidates as second/third/etc choices and consolidate enough votes to win.
