“we'll all be left defenseless, unarmed, and at the mercy of the government” Are you implying that owning guns prevents you from being “at mercy of the government”?

Who enforces government tyranny in your eyes?

u/Neontiger456 Apr 08 '23

Obviously law enforcement and/or the military. I come from a post Soviet authoritarian state, you do/say anything the government doesn't like the police take you to jail if you're lucky, if you're unlucky you could even be murdered. Same thing happens in a lot of other countries throughout the world, e.g. China, NK, KSA etc. And in all those countries law enforcement is very willing to the bidding of their masters without so much as a second thought.

I looked at your comment history, since you're a Jewish person I assume you know how German law enforcement at all levels (police, SS) carried out a genocide on your people.

You are correct non practicing half Jew here. It’s idiotic and insulting to assume that Canada could get to 1930s German level tyranny. You strike me as just the type of person who shouldn’t have firearms.. I don’t mean to offend but you just admitted your guns will defend you from police that you deem are enforcing government tyranny. Canada is far from tyrannical.. This is just the type of nonsense I hear from chuds in America. Shame on you. Even if you are “right” you just admitted to your intentions online like a real smooth brain.. People like you are gonna get guns banned for all of us who just wanna target shoot or hunt smh

Unfortunately you're wrong, Germany in the 1930s was one of the most advanced and civilized nations on earth and they ended up democratically electing a tyrant. And their DNA isn't any different than our DNA or anyone else's, the hunger for absolute power is human nature, hence why you need a system of checks and balances. As for my ideas yes I am still free to express them and there's nothing to be ashamed about.

Plus it's not like this is anything groundbreaking lol, this is the exact reason why the second amendment exists in the US and used to be common knowledge (fortunately still is in some parts). Sadly a lot of people these days don't read history as closely as they should to learn lessons from it.

Yet somehow illiterate cave dwellers in Afghanistan couldn't be beat lol.

Edit: responding to the comment below:

100% agreed, we need to vote the current government out. I never said there was currently government tyranny so obviously the way out is to vote him out of office. I said if and when there is tyranny then guns are a last line of defense because by definition tyrannies don't respect elections.
