Statesian here. There are a CRAPTON of mass shootings here. If we do nothing about guns, the shootings will still happen. What is the leftist answer for reducing mass shootings without disarming the proletariat?

of course the US government will never crack down on far-right terrorism, then they'd be stopping their own activities. this is purely just my leftist proposition of something that must happen to stop a lot of mass shootings. obviously, though, the US state is more interested in protecting the profits of the gun industry and the activities of the right. this would be an essential thing for a proletarian revolutionary state to do though.

The fetishization of the second amendment by white reactionaries reveals the true intention, not as a check against a "tyrannical" government as its propagandized to be, but as a securing of settler dominance against Black and Native populations.

the right trying to “stop tyranny” is like the body trying to stop its own heart from beating.
