1- This person is not even remotely saying he/she is taking political ideologies from a band.
2- If murder stats are a weak argument, then what could be a strong one? What could possibly be more important than human lives? Different priorities, perhaps? There are tricky things when you discuss public rights.
Is the right to manufacture/purchase/own a gun more important than the right to life/protection of all of those who have been dying?
3- This whole thing about americans being able to have guns to make revolution is silly. When did they do it? Last year when their money was given to bankers who fucked them overs and took their assets? When they are poor and sick and money is being spent in space programs? The only "revolution" being made with guns is civilian vs. civilian.
Besides, people don't need guns to make changes. All they need is their public opinion, their work and to realize the government needs them more than they do them.
The most important thing one needs to control to gain/maintain power is information and ideology, which leads to...
4- the speculation Hitler wouldn't have been in power if people had guns is beyond flawed. Wasn't he elected? He had the support of the majority for a long time, so once again ideology.
then I could go on about my theory on how patriotism does more harm than good, but some other time.
