This has gotta be the most informed comment in the entire thread.

The military didn't drop bombs on Waco.
That's because the FBI dropped tear gas and then in the confusion, Waco militia accidentally set the entire place on fire.
"... It is preposterous to argue that the possession of firearms would have enabled them to mount resistance against a systematic program of persecution implemented by a modern bureaucracy, enforced by a well-armed police state, and either supported or tolerated by the majority of the German population." - Alan E. Steinweis, NYT Source
Your arguments so far are that people saying this are obviously biased. If we assume those persecuted could have gained firearms, armed themselves and formed a highly organized militia - all while facing road blocks at each and every turn - do you really think this militia could have kept a genocide from occurring?
The fucking 1% of Germans who were jewish, who were forcefully disarmed were not going to avoid getting genocided by remaining armed or trying to purchase more arms.
This is an ad for this Relief Bill proposed by Rep. Susan Collins.
Relief for Farmers with PFAS Act
So where's the part of this bill where we sanction companies that irresponsibly create PFAS products and then let the waste into drinking water?
"Relief" is just the government deciding who gets to recover from problems the government didnt protect us from.
gas chambers in Germany. That blood is on the hands of gun control supporters.
The "nazi gun control supported the holocaust" argument has been debunked for a very long time. Argument debunk Nazi gun control laws
Frtuermore, gun control supporters of today are not the same as NAZI gun control supporters - who disarmed Jews.
This misinformation disappoints me, but the nature of your comment is overwhelmingly correct.
The tools are not the problem. Indiscriminate murder is incredibly easy and will remain so regardless of what laws you pass.
Horrifying words that ring true. Gun control is in my opinion moot for many reasons. This guy deserved more healthcare.
Your arguments about vans are OK but your fascist talking points tell me you're not worth listening to.
Fair enough.
I'm so sorry this happens to people. We can't go on training people to be soldiers and then take their sanity for granted. A veteran who has been to a mental hospital is an enormous danger to themselves and others.
This is the moment when I knew this movie was a nature documentary.
It's not all bad news: Matt Gaetz will never hold political power again. There's party lock step and then there's party lock step. A small number of obnoxious extremists forced the conservatives to elect a fascist speaker, and this sort of infighting will actually bring power away from a few of these fascists.
That is manufactured consent. We only get a few options on the ballot, and then all of their positions are a compromise between voters and financial donors... Who often also influence the voters.
WACO negotiations took 53 days, but MOVE was given a day to leave before two bombs were dropped in the middle of rowhouses in Philadelphia 😂 arming yourself to discourage the government works way better when the government is already favorable to your cause.
