Venezuela bans private gun ownership

[Scootaloo]

101. Yes, I am the one bringing that up

Because it's a constant in Gungeon "thinking." Guns are essential for freedom? Okay, freedom from what? Invariably it's either TEH EBIL GUBBMINT, or, sometimes, TEH EBIL GUBBMINT WHAT COME HERE. Or are you just throwing "freedom!" and "liberty!" around like the old Adam West batman threw around "kapow!" and "doing!", just meaningless punctuation words?

I'm denying that owning a thing is "essential for" true freedom. I'm denying that you and your collection of weaponry, aid my liberty in any tangible way. I am denying you the smug, self-congratulatory bullshit that gun fondlers constantly roll themselves in about how they are the "vanguard" of freedom. does the American ideal of freedom included the right to own a weapon? Sure, but when you present it as the absolute, the be-all-end-all, the essential freedom, all it does is tell me your opinion - and your education - aren't worth a sack of dead cats

And yes, I am saying that by definition a totalitarian regime is fascist and right-wing. Stalin and Mao could call themselves "communist" all they want, but all that does is remind me that North Korea calls itself a "Democracy" and that Glen Beck calls himself a "patriot." The proof isn't in the words they use, but in the shit they do. And the shit they did does not actually mesh with anything held by the left. That bullshit is brought to you by the same people who call Allende a murderous tyrant and praise Pinochet as a hero of the people.
