A couple points

Re: Angela Davis et al, I'm just not sure whether that's ever actually been an effective strategy of radicalism, I guess? I understand the impulse but has that really born fruit? I mean you would know the answer to this better than I would, certainly, but I'm skeptical.

Re: broader political concerns, I agree, but I also think there are much more important things in thinking about that possibility than gun laws, and I am not confident in how useful having armed citizens will be in resisting that kind of thing. If you're going up against the American military, it's not going to be much use.

But I certainly agree that if you're going to do gun control you have to do it in a rational, effective way.

Oh don't get me wrong--we need better gun laws. I just think people say "get rid of all the guns!" are silly, as if this is an easy or even possible thing to do. And they ignore that there are responsible reasons for wanting them that isn't weird bigoted sheepdawg stuff.

Re: Angela Davis et al,

You could argue that a reason the Civil Rights movement was so successful was that white authorities were scared of groups like the Black Panthers--that they'd better make concessions, because more radical groups were increasingly willing to act.

Fair enough then! I can agree with that.
