    Ive been called a nazi for liking firearms.

    Meanwhile, I openly support antifa.

    So im not sure this is completely accurate.

      I don’t know where this says “No one ever misuses Nazi”

      I’m a supporter of firearms ownership myself

      That’s probably a cultural thing, I would immediately suspect anyone really into guns in the UK as we don’t have a gun culture, and subsequently have far less kids murdered in schools.

      It’s not a zero sum equation. You being called a nazi for liking fire arms doesn’t cancel out all the people using this argument to defend actual fascists.

      People aren’t always rational. I’m anti-gun in general, but I’m also very pro-antifa and am fully aware that means shooting nazis when it comes to it.

      I’m not against people owning weapons, I’m against the fetishisation of them and I believe they belong in secure storage or for hunting, not strapped to an idiot in Walmart, in people’s videos, or posed with proudly on Christmas cards like a damned Taliban photoshoot.

      There’s a time and a place, and that’s not everywhere all the time, such that minor fistfights become shootouts at the corral.

      I’m pretty left, but I’d never call a regular gun owner a nazi. Whoever said that is an idiot.

      I think that’s just not the topic of this particular comic though.

      The comic is not about someone “calling a person a Nazi for owning firearms”. It is about “calling a Nazi a Nazi”, and someone else ignoring some blatant and obvious facts in response.

      Of course there is also the problem of people calling anyone they don’t like a Nazi. It’s a different problem. The comic doesn’t talk about that at all, and has nothing to do with it.

      Why do you bring it up? Why do you think that’s related?
