    Nope, I’m a lifelong anti-gun authoritarian.

    Good people will hesitate to shoot, an armed society just puts the worst group in charge because they don’t care about killing.

      The Black Panther Party would “politely” disagree with you. While armed to the teeth.

      Tw’ain’t no white racists trying to pick on black people when the Panthers were around.

      Edit: Oh yeah, and J. Edgar Hoover labelled this group as a national security threat, so it has that going for it as well.

          And do you suppose that their extermination was hastened or hindered by the fact that members were armed?

      Then you are giving a complete monopoly of force to the Government, who are the ones in charge and don’t care about killing. You surrender all ability to protect yourself for the hope that those in power both want to and are able to protect you.
