“Under no pretext"

Rules (Under review):

1. NO BUYING, SELLING OR TRADING of guns or accessories. Take that to Reddit and /r/GunAccessoriesForSale or Armslist.com
1. Censor all personally identifiable information in posts including serial numbers on firearms.
1. Any post or comment advocating illegal action will be removed and the poster warned. A second infraction will result in a ban.
1. Unironically suggesting the SKS as a usable rifle in the 21st Century when there are things like the AK and AR that cost only a bit more might result in a ban, it depends on how we feel.
1. Discussion of hunting is acceptable but please put "CW: hunting" in post titles. Debating the ethicality of hunting is also fine, but keep it civil and don't derail other people's threads.

Yes Heinz, the revolution might not be fought with an AR15 against a predator drone. But it can stop an asshole pouring gasoline on your door

It's a bit of a fantasy for leftists to have guns - if there were ever a leftward surge across the US (lol), that's when you'd suddenly see how quickly the government can enact stringent gun controls.
The main reason why civilian-owned guns are so widespread is because said civilians are indoctrinated rubes who pose no real threat to capital; that, and so the arms industry has an additional revenue stream - one they'd give up if people were using their guns to form armed soviets
