Communists support gun ownership
YouTube transcript
Hello There
As a communist I am a big supporter of gun ownership. People like to have rifles for hunting and target shooting, and they need pistols for protection.
Small arms in the home should be no one else's business. Although, laws on criminal negligence should apply there as anywhere else.
The problem of crazy killers in shops and offices is best dealt with by people having a gun under the counter or in the desk draw. And at public events you really need something like 1 per cent of participants having concealed weapons.
And carrying a pistol makes sense in situations where people feel insecure for some reason.
Anyone who wants an assault rifle should be allowed to have one. Preferably this would be as part of a local militia that had a legally mandated role of resisting a hostile incursion into its region. These hostile forces may be foreign aggressors or the forces of an internal tyranny. The more progressive members of the community would need to end their aversion to such an activity to make sure that it is not monopolized by rednecks. They would need to ensure that the militia represented community diversity in terms of such things as race, class, sex, sexual orientation and religion.
I hope you found these comments interesting.
See you next time.
