American cops have been kicking down doors and shooting the people inside for a long time now. And there’s no evidence Americans are using their guns to fight fascism. The gun-loving Americans support fascism and would sooner use their guns to fight democracy.
And how bad do you think it would be at this point in history if they could smash doors with zero risk?
Cops are notorious cowards. For example, when people show up armed to protests they’re very polite and professional. Unarmed protests? Remember Portland?
The main difference the USA’s armed population seems to make is that the cops come in shooting.
And that’s where we’re at in history, can’t be changed by disarming or pretending. Sucks, but it is.
