Ode to the Supreme Court's stand
Against domestic abusers' guns in hand
Their careful balancing of rights
Proves their vision of justice is bright
For all the violators, a sound reprimand!
@danwentzel all #GunBan|s achieve is making #LawAbidingCitizens vulnerable to #facists - regardless if state-endorsed or non-state actors...

You can't fix a problem is you only choose to go after Symptoms.
And since we live in a Post-#Luty & Post-#FGC9 - era, enforcement of any #GunBan is basically impossible and people do follow the law out of principle [like myself] or naive conviction that it's good [like some others], not because it's hard or expensive to violate it and the chance of getting caught is near-zero.
IMHO: unpacking roots of modern NRA is critical. From 1871 to 1970 it was about hunting & marksmanship.
This is a fantastic and important #NPRFreshAir archive episode on history of the #NRA (Audio + Transcript from 2011)
Guest: Robert Spitzer, author of the book "The Politics of Gun Control" published by the
Congressional Quarterly Press (fifth edition)
"The History And Growing Influence Of The NRA”

The only way to shift the spurious narrative that has elevated gun ownership and use over all other purposes of joining together as a polity is to destabilize that narrative at its foundation. This is what massive direct action demanding a gun ban can do. #Here4Kids #GunBan #GunViolence #GoodTrouble 7/
Something really interesting and potentially important is afoot in Colorado. Here 4 Kids is organizing a massive direct action asking the governor to sign an executive order banning guns, just straight out banning them. Reporting on the effort here: https://www.9news.com/article/news/special-reports/9news-originals/denver-moms-gun-reform-here-4-the-kids/73-32f040bd-c2e4-48a2-8780-25870f95cfa4 #Here4Kids #GunBan #GunViolence #GoodTrouble 1/
A #GunBan?
Oh puhlease. Everyone thinks "Washington" (state) == "Seattle"
#WashingtonState is not going to ban guns.
BAN them!? HAHAHAHAHA uh no.
RT @Docs4GunControl:
The C-21 amendments that would have clearly defined assault weapons was intended, in part, to prevent gun manufacturers from getting around Canada's May 2020 ban with copycat models. Canadians do not want to follow the US path on guns, so MPs must learn from America's mistakes. https://govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-116hhrg44091/html/CHRG-116hhrg44091.htm

@Lowie Well, no.
Obviously there ain't mass shootings in places with far higher gun densities like #Switzerland, #Canada, #Serbia, #Slovenia, #Finland and #Germany, despite the latter one having the biggest black market per capita worldwide due to several waves of #GunBan attempts.
It's not access to guns but the way said #violence is medially "celebrated" by #platforming attackers and thus rewarding them with #PropagandaOfTheDeed for their acts of #StochasticTerrorism:

@DaemonFC That's like the Gunbans in Germany since 1972:
Black market will be booming, and since we live in the Post-Luty / Post-FGC9 - era, we can be shure no #GunBan will be enforceable...
I just refuse to violate laws out of principle, but statistically that makes me a minority in Germany...
