there is ban guns..
- arcticbull 5y agoI mean I'm totally fine with that, though I'm led to believe this is a fairly contentious issue in American politics haha.
- 67yzxLKK2TRfiWZ 5y agoYou mean use guns to steal people's guns?
- artificialLimbs 5y agoIf we end up in a situation like in today's Cuba, there would be nothing the people can do to stop the government from doing whatever they like.
- arcticbull 5y agoThis is already the case and has been for decades. The army is far, far better equipped than a ragtag band of militia. Individuals with guns would only add to the chaos.
- artificialLimbs 5y agoThe individual military members are going to have quite the moral quandry about firing on its own people in a free country which was at least attempted to be built on integrity.
- arcticbull 5y agoI agree, but also the situation you're describing is no longer a 'free country' so much as anarchy or an attempt at strong-handed rule. I'd liken it much more to the cultural revolution and the tank man.
- aaron-santos 5y agoThere is already a tool for that: a General Strike. It's easier to pull off too and brings governments to their knees in weeks if not days.
- artificialLimbs 5y agoHow is that working out in Hong Kong?
- aaron-santos 5y agoI'm not sure why you would conflate a city-wide strike with a general strike. Maybe you could explain that part before I answer.
