    I mean you could remove the “minorities” from the post and it would be just as accurate.

    An armed population is harder to oppress.

    Look how dictatorship 101 starts with removing any easy ways for the people to defend themselves.

        Unless you go full Syria on your government, the oppression will continue as usual.

        in Syria, strangely, Assad’s regime was of an armed minority oppressing an incomparably greater majority.

        example doesn’t stand

      What are you talking about? All those idiot gun nuts who voted for trump are oppressed as shit. They have them around their finger, no matter how many guns they have. In fact they use their gun ownership to feed the cycle.
