    I feel similarly to OP, so ill say imo regullations are fine like Brady Bill or Assault rifle bans, but I dont believe in disarming the proletariat.

    Marx said under no circumstances should the proles give up their guns, and I tend to agree.

      I think you’re totally missing my point because my point was that OP hasn’t explained how they felt. “Pro-gun” is virtually meaningless.

      Marx also wrote extensively on “the Jewish question”, the man should not, nor would he have wanted, to be taken as an orthodoxy of leftist doctrine.

      I believe the proletariat can well be armed without anything of the sort of shameful nakedness which governs US gun ownership and responsibility, gun ownership of the proletariat is well possible in many countries that have far more sensible laws regarding firearms than the US.

      Marx routinely expected too much from people. The proles do nothing with their guns except execute each other while their government gets away with horrific things and the human race hurtles towards extinction.

      It’s time to accept that guns are no better at solving social problems than they are at solving plumbing issues and tech complaints.
