I could only see an argument for it being justified if the person in question is prevented from functioning safely outside of a mental ward but even then it’s questionable as they’re both a minority among the mentally ill and I don’t imagine they’re given guns anyway.


Plus under an Orwellian scenario the government could start ruling off people from owning a gun by having alleged mental illnesses like ADHD (that is extremely overrated anyway).

“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary. The destruction of the bourgeois democrats’ influence over the workers, and the enforcement of conditions which will compromise the rule of bourgeois democracy, which is for the moment inevitable, and make it as difficult as possible – these are the main points which the proletariat and therefore the League must keep in mind during and after the approaching uprising.”
-Karl Marx

Progressive Liberals are literally the only people pushing for gun control.

True Marxist-Leninists like me are always pro-gun.

By a fascist definition of a true democracy, the interests of the people should (must) be aligned with that of the state (by force).

A fascist approach would bar foriegn nationals within the country from getting firearms.
A communist-socialist approach would financially disarm the upper-class (and prevent them from arming for counter-revolution).

Followed by everyone else.

Both factions only call for mass-armarment in order to sieze power, followed by prompt and swift demilitarization of the populous as they consolidate their idealogical oligarchy.

Liberal democracies, on the other hand... just let the people keep their gun and focus on doing their job with a minimal of scandal (that or have a clever distraction handy).

To be honest, there have been several points in the course of this thread where both sides have been united around this. For example, I consider myself a moderate Socialist, and I have found myself agreeing with posts on this thread by people who are very right-wing.

GOA recently did a study on the likelihood of a prohibited person buying a firearm online, in which IMO, the study disproves the lies that gets espoused by many gun control fascists.

I’ll save these links Incase some anti gunner tries to make that already disproven argument again.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

Funny you should also keep this and ask the Anti-gunners especially the ones in California how their gonna accomplish these things

My favorite and the most laughable part is this, it's like they don't understand how people who break the law don't care about a new law
Proposition 63, beginning on January 1, 2018, implements a clear, mandatory, and enforceable process for the relinquishment of firearms by prohibited criminal offenders. It provides by far the most detailed, comprehensive, and enforceable state law anywhere in the country to proactively ensure that prohibited criminal offenders comply with existing law and relinquish their firearms after conviction. Defendants convicted of firearm-prohibiting crimes, such as felonies, or misdemeanors involving violence, domestic abuse, or illegal weapon use, must provide proof that they sold or transferred their firearms within specified time periods after conviction. Probation officers and courts must verify that the defendant complied with this requirement before final disposition of the defendant’s case and shall take further enforcement action to recover firearms from offenders who fail to do so.

Real lasers are notoriously inefficient, are prone to overheating, and draw large amounts of power. The large battery would need to be in the form of a backpack, which would likely weigh a lot, and would only give a few shots.

I think we will likely see portable Gauss rifles before we see portable laser weapons, but like lasers there are problems with inefficiency. Another problem would be the significant electromagnetic field that a Gauss rifle would generate, so don't wear an expensive wristwatch when using one, it would likely get fried...
