      It’s a pro-gun meme, and pretty much every successful iteration of socialism has been pro gun. Seem obvious if you’re not a baby-leftist or liberal.

        It’s clearly not a “pro-gun” meme. The point it’s making is not “be pro-gun”. You’re being deliberately disingenuous

          It’s definitely pro gun. It’s showing children in the USSR learning how to use them and then says “school shootings: zero” making a comparison to USA. It shows the distinction that guns themselves may not be the problem regarding Americas school shooting epidemic.

          You gotta be pretty dense to not understand that lol.

            It’s typical campist shit. It’s not pro gun, it’s just “USSR good, America bad” propaganda as if we’re living in the fucking 60s. Which is par for the course for tankie rhetoric ofc.

              It’s pretty clearly pro-gun. Crying about it being “tankie rhetoric”, a famously pro-gun movement doesn’t really support your conclusion either.

            I thought it was being sarcastic as obviously there have been many mass shootings in Russia

                  That list has 4 shootings that happened during USSR time, probably all done by psychos. Meanwhile, the USA will get 4 shootings in a week.

                    Yeah, like I said, completely different order of magnitude compared to the US

                    But still 15 school shootings since 2000 by my count, not counting “shootings” from air rifles and BB guns, and not including listings where the article didn’t specify method of murder.

                    But I also have not taken time to check each and every source, nor do I know how diligently the list is updated to include all reported instances, so I make no claims as to the list’s overall accuracy. Just providing some context re: the post above that asked for examples, so if anyone is curious they have somewhere to start looking.
