That'd be true if the people owning guns were ones that stood against the state, but if you look at the history of the US you'll see that even where there was a more lax gun control the people who used it to stand against oppression like the black panthers where denied the right to own guns, so as I see the right to bear arms on the US is mostly used by people who echo the oppression of the capitalist system, and mass shooters, that's where I stand from, being an outside observer from another country, so I might be missing a lot, but as I see the most oppressed are still the most killed by guns be them on the hands of citizen or policmen

Another factor to be considered is the proper knowledge of the gun owner about gun handling, like Switzerland has, if I'm not mistaken nearly 100% of the population owning guns on the account of their obligatory military service for 2 years for men and 1 year for women and at the end of it they take and rifle with them, so the proper training with the gun is likely a factor. That being said in the US I don't see any short term solution other than stricter gun control,for there is a weird gun culture there that makes people fetishise their guns so much that they wanna create an opportunity to use them
Pretty much but I'm more partial to things like this one or this among others like streetlight manifesto, inner terrestrials (specially the tales of terror album) and the album this machine from the JB conspiracy is quite good as well, if you want more recommendations just ask
Oh and by the way you'll probably like(if you don't know it already) the band jer and the channel of the frontman: skatune network, the guy raises the banner (literally) of ska against transphobia
I think I need glossary to understand this, what is and patsoc or a USian(person of us nationality? ) and what the hell is and NazJuche, im guessing naz is short for human garbage
Its not only that, is neoliberal banners too hatespeech, chauvinism and a lot of misinformation,not to minimize the anti communism but its just the same capitalist cocktail of ideas that they pull out when things go bad, I think its important to realize that what's happened isn't something new to the system but the system working as intended, communism is a threat to them and they are scared
I really like ska and skapunk, and am open to recommendations of bands to check out, specially ones with strong political stances (leftist ones it goes without saying)
I wish, as a brazilian I literally feel sick when I look at this shit, is revolting beyond words, see the same folk who ensured the military dictatorship of 68 here, and helped coup against Dilma Russef(current president of the BRICS bank, and former president of brazil) in 2016 claiming they want to LITERALLY rip my country to shreds and divide it as they see fit. It boils my blood comrades it does boil my blood
That's what I said short term, I do thunk that an armed workforce would be a great boon but first of all the cost of weapons does block considerably the access of the workforce and what I see is not weapons going to the worker is the regular citizen becoming a parallel army in the reserve, with the current culture of the USA I think better gun control would save many lives, there is an argument to be made that once it gets restricted it wouldnt turn back and that I can see but right now with the popular revolution a seemingly far into the horizon it might not be a bad move to restrict weapons
