Hi, I live in europe and we have a strong anti-gun culture, but recently I’ve seen a redneck guy (self claimed, i’m not labeling freely) talking about how his pairs revendicate the right to carry gun to fight oppressive government, I litteraly never knew it was for that reason. I’d like to know more about it in an anarchist/communist perspective. Can you give me your opinion on it or more information, links maybe ? Thanks ~

Oooooh, complicated that one. 

There are anarchists that looooooove their guns and think gun control is how the state prevents revolution and that arming all the anarchists is how we get revolution. 

And then there’s anarchists that believe having lots of privately owned guns is not good for our communities and only leads to the state arming themselves to the teeth (and since it can not claim to own all those massive weapons to kill it’s own population, using them abroad) and that the US massive military spending is a direct result of it’s gun ownership’s policy. 

And then there’s anarchists that believe it’s best to try to achieve change without armed struggle and those that believe change will only be achieved through armed struggle. 

I haven’t found a lot of writing on this. Generally those in favor of guns are louder about it so there’s a little more writing on that, mostly from the US. From the anarchist library: 

• Violence, Counter-Violence, and the Question of the Gun 

• An Anarchist Case Against Gun Control

• It’s Time for Anarchists to Pick Up A Gun
