I really wonder whether civilians owning guns actually makes a fascist takeover easier or harder.

Like on the one hand yeah civilians could use those guns to fight back.

But on the other hand this gives the fascist party “justification” to just start shooting down opposing gatherings because they could be armed and whatnot.

Furthermore this also means there are civilians who back the fascists and have guns. And this immediately gives me these horrible thoughts of what would happen if a Kristallnacht like in German would happen just with everyone being armed.

I think I’ve got some new work for the Etsy witches
