Can you imagine how bloodthirsty the pigs would be if we didn't have all these guns keeping them pacified?
Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil

No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
This is exactly why the Black Panthers were formed. And they worked. So well that the government took them down.
It's almost like the guns didn't help.
Yeah, but it was the government against a marginalized group of people, not the government against its entire citizenry.
I don't think our lax gun laws would matter in that situation though. If the government ever decides to push people to revolution there would surely be many people in the military who would join the people's cause, giving them access to what they need to fight.
