Have you noticed the reason why few socialist revolutions work is because the huge majority of weapons are concntrated in the hands of the ruling power in European countries?
It is not just the concentration of capital that capitalism has achieved but the concentration of arms.

Europe has had its socialist revolution which is why there is no RKBA. Socialists don't believe anyone is capable of doing anything for themselves.

Actually, they classify every gun owner as "the ruling class" and disarm them.


THey don`t want any guns in the hands of the "subjects":barf:
