This is because the second amendment of the US constitution was really about arming European Americans against enslaved Africans and Native Americans. So whenever African Americans arm themselves the US gets nervous
And the real reason the US government crushed the Black Panther Party for Self-defence was more for the free breakfast programme and vaccination programmes in majority African American communities not the fact they exercised their 2nd amendment rights
The Black Panther movement was gaining traction and hooking up with other, working class groups. Its destruction did come down to racism and establishment hatred towards black Americans.

Yep, poorly-researched commentary that's as useless as the mainstream media. And there's absolutely no way to 3D print a barrel or a trigger group in plastic using current technology.
You're right. Only 6 states have any sort of imposition on the manufacturing of 3D printed guns, with California allowing the production of them provided they are serialized (and thus registered).

Gun RIght Conservative: You dare use my spell against me Potter?
Pain of truth crew neck? This foo down af
FR 🔥🔥
very good to know there's people with guns around town that actually have working brains.
"working brains" 😂🤦🏿♂️
you might even say, workers brains :p
I would edit your last line about 3D printed guns being illegal nearly everywhere... At least in the US, more states allow it than those that don't.
Yep, poorly-researched commentary that's as useless as the mainstream media.
And there's absolutely no way to 3D print a barrel or a trigger group in plastic using current technology.
You're right. Only 6 states have any sort of imposition on the manufacturing of 3D printed guns, with California allowing the production of them provided they are serialized (and thus registered).
Why have two? "Two is one and one is none."
Haha, my first thought too.
And this is why tools with multiple purposes are essential
It's our gun now.
When you set up an NFA gun trust lol
Just like when the soviets had more soldiers than rifles?
Kind of. Membership comes with ammo and range days and people will totally let you try theirs
@@thomas.thomas most of a military is non combat anyway
how come you guys never actually know how socialism works?
Just remember, if you go far enough left you get the guns back
Nice, FL has a chapter- we definitely need one, this state is full of nuts 😅
😂😂😂 good one.
Yeah, I wouldn't live in FL without one.
Well balanced argument for self defence.
Proud member of the SRA, WE KEEP US SAFE.
This is why the 2nd amendment exists. Both sides need it
I mean he literally explain that the fathers of the constitution didn’t have that in mind. if you want to rework it to align with your thinking go ahead I guess
_Under No Pretext..._
It is legal to assemble your own firearms in almost every state, also it has always been legal to own a canon.
I always thought it funny that people think the "right-wing" are the only people that enjoy firearms. Really enjoyed this content.🇺🇸👍🏽
More books in that room than guns.
Big distinction with right wing gun culture 😂
@ yep. Partly because right wing gun culture is as much about machismo as it is about knowledge or skills or the ‘why’ of things.
Certainly speaks volumes.
@ytrepronxa2401 former right wing and I will say this is false.
@ytrepronxa2401 books for indoctrination
AR-15s are cheap, modular and accurate. Don't even bother with an AK
12:31 - heres the thing, being cis and white AND ALSO not a bigoted conservative means something and we have to start honoring and respecting this.
I’ve been a member of the SRA for a few years now. I think it’s very important to have this organization and others like it for the left. We need to encourage more leftist gun ownership
Are you worried about FBI infiltrators and the like?
minute after minute of straight up facts. this dude's a real one.

Basically, the homies are a badass bunch 🏴
If you call a dude with a lisp & a slush afraid to show his face badass lol sure
@@TingTingalingy More badass than you at least, look at your own profile pic.
I wouldn't make fun of people if I was called "Ting Tingalingly"
Brother, you chose that yourself 💀
@@mo-s- ope, only a coward would go after a made up handle.😁 But then again you think these thieves are cool, so it's fair that you would admire cowardice.
@@TingTingalingy He's hiding his face, so he doesn't get harassed by people like you.
Lenin was in favour of the proletariat being armed.
Stalin however wasn't
so was marx
@@maximevandeneynde7692Correct, but Marx never wrote about a form of government to actually make his dreams come true in the real world, so it was up to Lenin/Stalin/Mao to come up with a game plan and we see what happened
@@DrFaust-pr8vw we all are aware of how that turned out
@@TingTingalingy Yes, I mentioned that at the end of my comment
0:21 “Philadelphia just south west of New York” is a wild statement to make. It’s like saying that Birmingham or covenant is just northwest of London.
in the context of a foreigner its really not
That is what I was going to say....this is for an overseas audience for whom the geo-location might be helpful. We Philadelphians get fired up when we are referred to in regard to NYC....but I am giving this interviewer a provisional pass.
As a conservative in Arizona (friendliest gun state in the nation, yes better than texas)he knows his gun safety well 👍 p.s. that is a nice sig p320.
Stay safe. And stay hydrated! Even if it's winter it's hella dry out there!
“The totalitarian states can do great things, but there is one thing they cannot do: they cannot give the factory-worker a rifle and tell him to take it home and keep it in his bedroom. That rifle, hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or laborer's cottage, is the symbol of democracy. George Orwell"Don't Let Colonel Blimp Ruin the Home Guard," Evening Standard, 8 January 1941.
3d printing guns (or making them using CNC) for personal use is LEGAL most places in the US.
2nd amendment applies to everyone
No it actually only applies to legal US citizens.
@@dozersdadyand permanent residents in most states.
@seanm8665 only legal US citizens are protected under the constitution. This is not a question of human rights it's a question of Constitutional legality.
@@dozersdady I agree. I guess I’ve confused gun ownership and 2nd amendment rights with eachother.
@seanm8665 my point is only legal US citizens can claim protection under the constitution that dose not mean that a non citizen if in the USA under legal pretence may not be given the permission to own and or carry a weapon.
Our rifle comrad
thats not socialism thats communism 🤦♂️
I’m definitely gonna have to check these guys out
Great rep for the SRA

PAIN OF TRUTH MENTIONED
Wow its almost if you feel like the militia doesnt support your community then you get to create your own.
"Under no pretext should arms or ammunition be surrendered, any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if nessecary."
I don’t think enough people understand that, that this is what patriotism is what this looks like! Love your country so much that you want everyone to be supported, accepted and have a seat at the table.
In the Pain Of Truth hoodie! Let’s go comrade
SRA backing Pain Of Truth is so badass
If they are filming your nose, your id is blown.
Even eyebrows as we've just seen... allegedly at least
And hands 🤦
You only need to give reasonable doubt
Marx (not Karl, Groucho) glasses are going to be sold like Guy Fawkes masks.
Just think, even the concept of what is real or what isn't Tyranny has been turned upside down in America. When civil disobedience is equated with terrorism, we have a big problem.
The concept of a militia aligns quite well with socialism.
The sra is not a militia though it's a educational nonprofit
I didn’t suggest that the SRA was a militia. Armed citizens willing to fight to defend their fellow citizens is a militia.
What most people consider to be a militia are just organized hate groups masquerading as a militia, in the same way that people get socialism confused with dictatorships.
Thank you! I’ve been wanting to check out the SRA for YEARS! I will be doing that, this year 👏
This was a great exposé. But were you actually implying Luigi was a leftist, cause that doesn't track. Or is this just USA dumb arse assumptions about the alleged shooter?
@michaeldavis8103 many on the left consider him an honorary leftist because the only thing more left than providing services to everyone and giving workers control is deposing of fascistic bougie business boys for the betterment of the people.
Left or right, he was an anti capitalist at least.
@@lizekamtombe2223 No, he was just a frustrated guy. Which is relatable, but he wasn't anti-capitalist. I say this as a leftist myself.
@harpskid Reading his manifesto I could at least see some broader concepts and worries than just frustration.
Wasn't luigi a capitalist, that was just sick of the exploitation in the healthcare industry?
THIS IS BRILLIANT! ❤
Correction: It is not illegal to make or shoot homemade guns in the vast majority of America, that includes 3d printed guns or “ghost guns”. It’s only illegal to use them in a crime or sell it/transfer it.
Wow!
It's about time.
The "Others" Certainly Do!
Just wait, the John brown gun club will meet the John Moses Browning gun club.
Would be really ironic if they joined forced
Absolutely fantastic interview. The questions you asked seriously picked this guys brain. This was great
Pain of Truth, hell yeah
This was honestly interesting to see. Thank you for what turned out to be educational and fun content to watch.
"in Philadelphia, *just southwest of new York*" 👀
I thought he said Newark?
@@numbersix8919 I wouldn't have commented if this was about Newark
@@ZachariahtheMessiah Yeah, I get that for sure. But they were talking about New Jersey gun laws?
@@numbersix8919 yes, they mentioned that "the laws can be vastly different *across the bridge* (meaning they are in Philly, like he says at the beginning, and NJ laws are different across the bridge)
He said New York. Brits don't know Newark.
This is perfect I always found it odd that in America certain things are considered bipartisan, stuff like free speech and guns being cooped by the right are extremely strange to me.
pain of truth is a good band

the ability to defend your community is imperitive
As a Christian i'm just praying for peace on Earth. We may not agree on everything but people have a right to defend themselves. Period end of story. Be it right wing or left wing. Huey P. Newton understood this.
The interviewee from the SRA did an excellent job. Great piece.
I spotted Sacco and Vanzetti on the bookshelf. They have a proper socialist library there it looks like.
The interview is taking place in a beloved anarchist bookstore in Philly. It is a fabulous store....Philly has a very long history (obviously) of rebellion and political/social defiance.
Very interesting interview!
nice making it to The List with you guys
Love it, sounds like Black Panthers or Mocca Panthers
