You make too many assumptions. I would gladly support an embargo on gun manufacture/import.
It has no chance in hell of happening. Politics is the art of the possible.
Spoken like a true liberal reformist/defeatist. So you can't disarm the slave masters but you can disarm the slaves, and you don't see a problem with that.
This is no different from the liberal reformist attitude that has pushed the responsibility for global warming onto individual consumers rather than on industry where it rightly belongs. Liberals are afraid to challenge the ruling class directly, which wouldn't be so bad in and of itself, except that failing to do that but still wanting to do something they instead use the coercive power of the state to place restrictions on the working class. I don't get to own a gun with hi-cap mags but some scumbag cop does and you've just criminalized one more thing in the country with the world's highest incarceration rate, but that's okay cause it won't be you in trouble, right?
Meh I wish left liberals would just get out of the damn way-- they do more harm to the masses than good, the only thing we need em for is lawyers.
I'm not trying to restrict your rights but you think it's completely acceptable to restrict mine in the name of the common good-- fuck that noise lay out all the facts and figures and even dead bodies in front of me you want, I'm not gonna agree to abandon my rights or the right of others to effective (armed) self-defense unless the weapons you are restricting are being restricted in a fair and comprehensive manner without regard to state status or social class or race or religion or anything else. But you can't offer that because you're more afraid of your fellow citizens than your government.
