If you wait until you actually need a gun, it’s too late. You can’t just walk into a gun store and leave with a gun that day. Any by the time the shooting starts, it will probably be impossible for left-leaning people to pass a background check anyway.

The first step of people taking up arms in an organized fashion is having arms to take up.

Just because someone is a bigot doesn’t mean they aren’t following a plan. Testing the waters and normalizing bigoted thinking are things bigots do on purpose.

I think the main argument against disbanding the police is that we’d have no mechanism to prevent violence from former cops. I have no expectation that their behavior will improve if we just stop paying them.
