If the second amendment were absolutely useless. If it just served to pacify whites and distract us from meaningful action as a false sense of security. Then, the United Kingdom, European Union, Russian Federation, and People's Republic of China would all gleefully allow their citizens firearm ownership as a means of strengthening their rule. Yet they don't. The second amendment hasn't automatically given us the government we want, but it gives us opportunities at legal self defense and organization which prevent terrible excesses in both tyranny and disorder we see in other parts of the white world. Yes, our rights are abused. Secret police don't knock on our doors for racist posts. Yes, crime is out of control. Countless white lives have been saved thanks to a gun being between them and a rampaging, drugged out non. When approaching rights and politics, we need to understand nuance and appreciation. In some ways our political situation in America isn't as bad as we like to think it is. We have many existential problems. Let's focus on solving them instead of trashing our remaining rights.
