What we need to understand, though, is that while this is just one rando on Reddit, where anyone can post anything, it represents what a lot of people would like to do.

Is it any wonder that these same people want to inflict gun control on the rest of the country? See, while right now, small-town America can generally handle itself just fine from a rampaging mob, the reason most people won't bring up a "suggestion" like this is that the rural communities have the guns to fight back, even in states like California or New York.

Removing the guns from the equation is critical, especially as most people live in the cities, so even if they're not part of this so-called revolution, they're not going to be the ones impacted directly. They think that guns lead to the crime they see in their communities, so they support gun control with the misperception that it is a benefit to society.

The truth is that while not every gun control advocate is an authoritarian, every authoritarian favors gun control. Removing a civil liberty, though, is an inherently authoritarian act, and it can't be successfully framed otherwise. Many try, but it fails simply because they can't get away from the fact that it impacts the innocent far more than the guilty.

And, for those inclined to incite some communist "revolution" on the rest of the country, their masses must meet unarmed opposition. Guns are equalizers, and they can't have that.

For now, it really is "Try That in a Small Town."

If they get their way, though, make no mistake, they will. The fact that so many Democrats are swooning over "Democratic Socialists"--which are still just commies, but commies with sprinkles--suggests that more of them want to do this than we might otherwise suspect.

Yep. Ban them. "round them all up". When the time comes, country folks will still have them.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Hell, I'll make my own, if I have to... A tooling lathe and a fly-cutter... There ain't much I couldn't do... The only thing that would be tough is rifling. Same way you cut threads, I would imagine, but I don't know how to set it up for that.
