Is It Possible to be PRO RKBA and PROgressive At The Same Time?
Advertisements [?]
There seems to be a disturbing meme floating around the Gungeon that anyone who posts from a pro Right to keep and BEAR (That means strap one or two on and carry them in public folks) Arms perspective can’t possibly be a real progressive.
I’m trying not to call anyone out but the idea bothers me. Number one because it’s untrue and because it’s a violation of the rule against making right wing smears against democrats.
I believe RKBA is a profoundly progressive ideal because it places the ultimate trust in the people. RKBA says the government trusts the people w/ the ability to over throw it.
So, my answer is yes I am a progressive and I believe in RKBA
