   In the wake of two mass shootings in a week, I understand everyone's concern about the gun laws here in the USA, but all arguments for gun control that don't include taking guns away from the cops are garbage.

   Overwhelmingly, cops are fascists and racists and homophobes, too.

   And who would be doing the gun-taking?

   Cops.

   Do you really think they would agree to take them from houses with Trump flags in front?

   No.

   From black and gay and left wing folks?

   Absolutely.

   Until the cops are disarmed, I'm gonna defend the right of LGBTQ and BIPOC folks to own fully automatic machine guns

     The total number of people killed by the pigs in the same time is 30,800

     The people are not the problem here.
