The "Guillotine the rich" crowd sure loves saying they wanna do it but they never have the balls. You talk of politician "ought to's" yet here you and many others are not executing billionaires. Put up or shut up.

Disolving companies resolves problems only if the people who bought the products dont turn immediately to the replacement.

Even vampires don't suck this hard.

A great deal of the Safer Communities Act is simply sending more money to municipal and state police budgets. Given the sway these organizations have in electing state and local leaders, its certainly something.

I'm sure that if federal legislation is passed all these fascist militias made up of racists, theofascists, and law enforcement officers will all willingly give up their firearms and comply with the law 🤡.

I get it, it's not ideal, but that ship has sailed. Additional gun regulations only pass in blue states, and only further weaken our defensive posture. If you truly believe trump and his retarded followers represent an existential threat to democracy in the US (as I do) I cannot understand why you wouldn't understand the necessity for access to normal capacity magazines and non-nerfed firearms, unless maybe you think Jon Stewart is gonna come rescue you with a witty quip when some fascist has you on your knees in front of a ditch.

You should start believing conservatives when they tell you what kind of America they want to live in and what they're willing to do to get there, cause although they're fucking morons, they're also dead fucking serious.

Did guns stop the Japanese interment camps?

Fun fact, my great grandfather, an immigrant from Mexico, worked on a large Japanese farm during WW2 as a foreman. When fearful citizens came for the Japanese my great grandfather took ownership of the property and kept it running during their detention. Upon their return he relinquished ownership, having kept everything in order all while continuing to pay himself the same wage.

The biggest proof of that is you are not in front of a planned parenthood in Texas ready to battle with it.

I've taken and thrown punches for my fellow POC and the queer community, I've been arrested in protest, and have stood in solidarity when members of my community have required defending. I've been shamed for my culture and where I come from, looked down and spit up on for being less than - and I can still hold my head up high and stand with dignity exactly because I've always chosen to 'battle with it'.

You might consider this interaction the next time you accuse someone of inaction just because their experience and principles differ from your own.
