In this revolt, Lumen and others like them will just walk up, take our guns, and smash them right in front of our eyes and we will be powerless to stop them or resist in any meaningful way. This was laid out plain and simple by Lumen earlier in the thread. Clearly, we should be cowering in fear should Lumen ever start this little revolution of his, as he has told countless others to do in the past on this forum.


I'm so frightened I can barely load all these extended magazines, the fear is making my thumb ache. I think I need to get a magloader or spend less time at the range because the fear might be giving me arthritis.


I hear group therapy has made great advancements in that field in recent years.

Chris Murphy Predicts a ‘Popular Revolt’ if the Supreme Court Nixes Gun Control Laws
There could be a “popular revolt,” if the Supreme Court blocks some kinds of gun control legislation, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said Sunday.

“If the Supreme Court eventually says that states or the Congress can’t pass universal background checks or can’t take these assault weapons off the streets, I think there’s going to be a popular revolt over that policy,” Murphy, an outspoken gun control advocate, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“A court that’s already pretty illegitimate, is going to be in full crisis mode,” Murphy added.

Murphy’s comments came after a federal judge ruled Wednesday that a federal law preventing the sale of guns to 18- to 20-year-olds was unconstitutional.


Quite telling in how he frames this as the supreme court is illegitimate if things don't go their way and saying the supreme court is policy making.
Perhaps he's just fucking stupid and doesn't realize the USSC rules on the constitutionality of policy the dipshits in congress passed, striking or upholding a law isn't policy making.
As to his prediction of a "popular revolt" sounds like he is fomenting an insurrection.
TBH, chris likes to be wrong and there won't be any "popular revolt" just lots of whining and feet stomping by people like him who seem to think that congress is the final arbitrator of what is a right and what isn't.
All in all, fuck him and the horse he rode in on.

Liberals are not able to revolt.

Even if the far-right was to launch a coup tomorrow, the best they could do is shout "Get out and vote!!!"

The democrats are children who refuse to believe martial prowess has modern utility in politics. All authority is derived from mastery of violence even the free man must be practiced and skilled in violence to maintain his freedom least someone subjugate him .

Honestly, I think we should allocate more money into mental health programs so people who are falling off the deep end can get help.

I don't buy the "just take the guns away" answer.

I think they delude themselves into thinking the modern state will always make the right decision when using force, even though it is clear that it doesn't.

Not to mention that states can change due to the people who govern them. And thus, can go from nominally democratic to totalitarian in a heart beat.

Agreed.

Mental Health in the US needs a complete ground up overhaul inho. That would do more to reduce gun violence then any ban ever would.

Strong social welfare programs to attack poverty and ensure every American has minimum standard of living that is comfortable and prosperous coupled with an aggressive public health campaign starting from birth to ensure children are properly nourished, have their material needs met, and have safe behavioral coping mechanisms will eradicate 90% or more of gun violence in a generation.

Calling for mental health expansion is too little too late. The people who need it won't get it or trust it, and it won't fix them. Public health interventions work best when targeted at our youngest, because that's when the seeds of these problems start. Addressing gun violence without infringing on rights will take old men planting trees they will never sit in the shade of, but specifically it will have to be for people other than their own progeny, because the disadvantaged sure don't have the resources to do this themselves.

The whole social support system in the United States is fundamentally flawed. From it's inception it's been a compromised patchwork that has had to cater to saboteurs to remain in place.

This is why the constant attempts to deliver this system more funding will never accomplish meaningful goals, it needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.
