    Oh, fuck off with that.

    Rights are right, period. If you’re denying a right to people that you disagree with politically, then it’s not a right.

    Sure, train everyone. But the right to keep and bear arms is, and should be, an individual right, not one that can only be exercised if the gov’t decides that you should be permitted to do so. That’s authoritarian bullshit.

      I suggest you look up the tolerance paradox. If you are tolerant of the intolerant, they will eventually win.

      When someone is part of a know fascist organization for example, they should not get a license to bear arms or pass the background check or whatever. Common sense for every revolutionary (government) imo

        I’m fully aware of the tolerance paradox. And it doesn’t apply here. Or to the exercise of any rights. The tolerance paradox applies to social pressure, not legal and gov’t pressure. The problem you run smack into is that the less intolerance you allow from a legal perspective, the closer to approach fascism, until the two are indistinguishable.
