MLK and Ghandi accomplished their purpose without firearms.... the use of violence and firearms against them actually strengthened their arguments and turned the "tide" to their favor...
Both understood they could accomplish way more without firearms than they could with them, that they could create mass sympathy for them by playing to the softer comfort zone of people who prefer non conflict and will sit the fence until someone makes them uncomfortable, then they float to whoever makes them feel comfortable again. And make up numbers that win when those numbers count..
As seen in the hippie anti vietnam movement, as seen in Kennedy and Johnson sign offs, as seen in the EU capitulation, as seen in the AUS gun confiscation,
as currently being seen in the youth numbers going against guns and violence, and the politicians pandering to them,
history repeats itself.
And propaganda strategists know this tactic works, ala Bloomberg, and he s using it well....
Hitler used it and took over Germany. So yes, those two turds are feeling inspired, they see a potential win for them.
What they fail to see though, is the other side of the coin, the shoe about to drop, and the meat hook on the lamp post... ahh Benito, how's it hanging bud ?
But that's a different discussion for another post.
