Marx wrote this in 1850. He was talking about social and political issues of 1850, and also he was talking about single shot muskets. He didn't have to consider what the implications of shootouts with police armed with tanks will be, in part because tanks didn't exist.
You're doing the same textualism rightoids are doing, and it's wrong and bad from any side.
Allowing deep south bumpkins buying supressed machine guns and bringing them to schools is not how you do progressive politics.
