minus-squarelud@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 年前Since when do the rich use guns for oppression? They use money, not guns.
minus-squareArbiter@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 年前That money funds police forces and private security companies. Guess what they have.
minus-squareSteve@communick.newslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 年前In exchange for thousands of lives? Thats an easy trade. We can use other, far more effective means, to limit the power of the rich. The power of the rich doesn’t even have anything to do with their access to bullets anyway.
