Imagine a regime so terrified of its own people that it unleashes a two-day slaughter rivaling the darkest chapters of modern history—36,500 dead, wounded protesters executed in hospital beds, surgeons witnessing the living crammed into body bags like discarded trash. This isn’t dystopian fiction; it’s Iran’s response to protests, greenlit by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei with a chilling directive: crush dissent by any means necessary. New reports paint a nightmare of basij militias and security forces turning hospitals into killing fields, stuffing gasping victims alive into bags to conceal the carnage, and mowing down civilians en masse. A surgeon called it a nightmare beyond comprehension, with blood-soaked corridors echoing the regime’s desperation to cling to power amid economic collapse and revolutionary fervor.
For the 2A community, this horror story isn’t ancient history—it’s a stark warning etched in blood about what happens when a disarmed populace faces a monopolistic monopoly on violence. Iran’s 1979 revolution birthed a theocracy that swiftly disarmed citizens under the guise of public safety, leaving ordinary Iranians defenseless against Khamenei’s Revolutionary Guard death squads. Contrast that with America’s Founders, who enshrined the Second Amendment precisely to prevent such tyrannies: an armed citizenry as the ultimate check against government overreach. When the mullahs ordered this crackdown, protesters had rocks, Molotovs, and bare hands—no AR-15s, no Glocks, no equalizers. The result? A death toll that dwarfs many genocides in sheer intensity, proving disarmed subjects are playthings for despots.
The implications scream across the Atlantic: gun control isn’t about common-sense safety; it’s about stacking the deck so regimes can perpetrate Tiananmen 2.0 without resistance. As Biden-era policies chip away at our rights—brace rules, ATF overreach, red-flag laws—remember Iran’s body bags. The 2A isn’t a relic; it’s rocket fuel for liberty, ensuring no American hospital becomes an execution chamber. Arm up, train hard, and vote like your life depends on it—because history shows it just might.
