Gun Confiscation Compromise Proposals

thathopeyetlives

1. Guns are indeed totally banned. Swords are now completely legal, and are normalized to the point that if many private-public places want to prohibit them (and don’t have excellent security plus lockers for you to use) they would be considered the weird ones. 

2. Eliminationist gun buyback program, at the actual market value, which starts off fairly low and eventually rises towards “have me set up to be a rich man for life” as supply falls below demand and fewer and fewer people are willing to give up assets they know they would never be legally allowed to replace. 

3. Guns are indeed totally banned for ordinary people. Everybody now is allowed to hire armed private security with special licensing and regulation – people with said armed private security licences make up around 20 percent of the population, with a pretty even cross section between race, class, etc. 

(one of the biggest talking points in the gun lobby is the hypocrisy of politicians who are protected by security, though I suspect that they overestimate how heavy security for politicians below the level of the President is.)

4. The federal government forms the American Home Guard.  All gun owners are required to be members in good standing of this national militia, which can be called on in the event of either natural disaster or the invasion of the American homeland.  After an initial training period of six weeks and clearance for membership, there is one week of follow-up training each year with a payment of $500-800 as compensation.  Membership status must be renewed each year.  Guns may be owned and traded, but not in unsupervised personal possession (thus at gun storage facilities) if no valid membership is held.

Various things, including crimes, can disqualify future membership in the Home Guard.  Members receive a card that they can carry with them for law enforcement to see when inspecting guns, each year.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.“

I actually really like #4. Done properly, most of the gun people I know would totally love being part of the American Home Guard.

Do you truly think anyone is going to buy your nationalist hogwash? You blithering buffon, the dual monachy will never succumb to such seditious sentiment! AEIOU!

A monarch is nothing more than the crown jewel worn by the State.

Dual Monachy?  I’ve got anons inventing entirely new forms of government right here in my askbox.

You just know that someone in this general circle is going to have historical levels of impact, and some poor grad student in the 2130s is going to write their dissertation exploring who @argumate might have been and what impact they had on $famous-person’s early years

I was thinking more along the lines of Alan Greenspan.

While Bereton and Yu argue that Mitigated Chaos was an alias of one of several other figures in the Post-Neoreactionary movement that emerged early in the 2030s, and Harvey argues that Mitigated Chaos was a joint project between several authors, we demonstrate using reverse textual analysis and schedule modelling based on post timing and employment records that the true identity of Mitigated Chaos was Robin Lo, a DMV clerk located in Oklahoma City at the time of the Second American Revolution.

We dispute the arguments in Levy (2078) that Mitigated Chaos was the original name of the highly obscure VR film author “Destiny Playwright.”

It’s the glorious post-scarcity future in Star Trek Discovery but they still have open plan offices. Some fucking utopia that is.

collapsedsquid

I think that means the crewmen need to start a revolution, overthrow the officer bourgeoisie and establish a classless society.

bambamramfan

This is a pretty fantastic example of how Star Trek has always been about a specific utopian vision based in our current capitalist (one might even say “neoliberal”) world.

You should have me write Star Trek inste-

wait, where are you going?? come back!

Arguably, crime syndicates are better positioned than corporations to live up to the responsibility that their power demands. Just a question of finding a mob boss with enough loyalty to the locale.

And thus, our dear local anon suggests the establishment of Anarcho-Mafiaism.

Reactionary, or avant-garde Progressive?

We leave it to our readers to decide.
