"If we get rid of guns, it'll all be GREAT!"

Not so much.
An attack by knife-wielding men at a railway station in Kunming in south-west China has left at least 29 dead, the state news agency Xinhua says. 

Another 130 people were wounded in what authorities said was a "premeditated, violent terrorist attack".


Let's see... mock people for believing 'conspiracy theories' about banning guns after you spoke approvingly of countries that banned guns and had mass confiscations.  Yeah, that's a winner.


Higher Education at Yale
When rioters take territory and loot, they are revealing precisely how, in a space without cops, property relations can be destroyed and things can be had for free[…]

But why is it bad to grab an opportunity to improve well-being, to make life better, easier, or more comfortable? Or, as Hannah Black put it on Twitter: “Cops exist so people can’t loot ie have nice things for free so idk why it’s so confusing that people loot when they protest against cops” [sic]. Only if you believe that having nice things for free is amoral, if you believe, in short, that the current (white-supremacist, settler-colonialist) regime of property is just, can you believe that looting is amoral in itself.
People are paying how much per year for their kids to be indoctrinated with this shit?

Wouldn't rape fall under the same rules?

Since taking things that don't belong to you is just fine, and certainly not immoral.
