It raises the risks for the enforcers taking a paycheck to oppress the [subset of the] population. Bullies think twice when they can be punched square in the face.
- dudefeliciano 4mo agoRiiiiight, it doesn't just make the bully invest billions in military grade weapons to be used against civilians. Soon you'll have superdrones with superguns patrolling the US and you will still be clinging to your right to carry a musket.
- boppo1 4mo ago2A people don't want the right to carry a musket, they want the right to those same superdrones. You are framing their desires in bad faith.
- dudefeliciano 4mo agoTaking that argument to absurd levels we should only sit and wait for the first school nuking then.
- yakshaving_jgt 4mo agoI find that incredibly hard to believe. You're right they don't want to carry a musket, but that's because muskets are not sexy. They don't want superdrones either, because superdrones are not sexy. 2A people just like guns. Guns, culturally, are sexy.
- arvid-lind 4mo agoI don't think it's sexy, though I wish people would stop using this word for things like... war machines. Gun culture is just a subculture in the US, and I agree weaponized drones aren't 1:1 with guns to gun nuts.
- yakshaving_jgt 4mo agoI don’t think they’re sexy either.
