    you can’t think that laws passed by the settlers will be enforced in a way that would undermine their dominance: they would outlaw guns and in practice only prosecute the occupied populace.

      Conversely, colonized people are not protected by the freedoms bestowed onto settlers. Legally armed Black men still get murdered by cops.

      The reason we don’t have gun control is precisely because settlers won’t pass gun control laws. That’s why we’ll have to disarm them- later 🤫
