I don't even own a gun, but uh ok?

I've worked at non profits to house the homeless, for years. Could have made a lot more money in a corporate job, but I eschewed that in favor of doing actual good in the world.

I've been homeless, been robbed and beaten by people with guns, dodged a drive by shooting by 20 or 30 feet, been held against my will, without charges, by armed agents of the state for simply existing while honeless, been held captive by a madman and beaten for a week straight.

I have firearms training, because I grew up around guns, but I've never owned a gun.

I have martial arts training, and I've only ever used it to defend myself and others; never once have I instigated a random assault, but I've broken up a few.

My country is the most armed country on the planet, and it's currently undergoing a fascist coup.

But please, do go on about the revolution your parents had, and the comfy, detached from reality moral structure its allowed you develop.

Tell the Ukranians defending their country how guns are evil and they should just roll over and accept assimilation.

Tell the Palestinians to stop resisting and just allow themselves, their people, to be wiped off the face of the earth.

Meanwhile, leftist demonstrations in my country have been terrorized by openly armed right wing militias and terrorists for years, been black bagged and arrested by armed secret police.

But I'm sure you're quite fine telling victims of armed violence that they're actually the guilty ones for pointing out the basic underlying fact that all politics and laws are only as meaningful as the monopoly on violence that enforces them, and that guns are the most common and direct tool in that trade.
