This is why we need to arm ourselves - because the right wing chud lunatics are out for blood.
Indeed, I suspect we’d see some movement on gun control if minorities and marginalized people would begin exercising their 2A rights. We all know the story of Reagan and the Black Panthers and how that played out, I suspect the same thing would happen again.
At any rate, I recommend all my LGBTQ/PoC friends arm yourself now, spend some time at a range, maybe get some basic first-aid training, and most importantly start meeting and networking with like-minded people in your area, start building networks of people who’re on your side. Law enforcement will not protect us; if the rightwing has their way we’ll be living A Handmaids Tale and a lot of us will be dead or forced into some form of slavery. Fuck that, this is America, we’re not a Christian nation no matter how much a bunch of fundamentalists want us to be, we’re the land of the free, and when they decide to fuck around they need to find out.
Let’s start a group “Muslims for gun rights” and watch bigotry work its magic…
Thankfully I have friends with a lot of land, but my local range is owned by an avid trump supporter. I’ve had serious conversation with my wife about owning a gun but she’d never pass a background check due to her mental health history.
Or if it’s anything like in Germany, the cops and the right wing nutjobs are the same people.
i want to add - if you need to arm yourself but for some reason cannot have a gun, there are non-lethal weapons and guns out there. not perfect, but definitely better than going completely unarmed. if you are able to workout, that helps too. if you’re unarmed and a fast runner or a good fighter, that again is better than nothing at all.
Yes. The solution is everyone should be armed all time. What could possibly go wrong?
I mean people used to be armed all the time and there wasn’t a daily massacre.
people like saying this, what could possibly go wrong? but really, what could really go wrong?
this kkk dude would have be dead for pulling a gun in front of an armed group, maybe he kills one but this should level out at some point. the crazies will cull themselves out.
Listen friend. It’s a pretty simple equation:
Every other 1st world nation without an armed populous= no regular gun violence/massacres
Us as a nation= regularly experienced gun violence and massacres
We even have a test group- Australia. Experienced one gigantic massacre, took guns away, no more gunviolence/massacres.
And if that doesn’t sway you in the least, I can’t believe you think everybody in this nation is competent enough to be armed?!? I don’t even think everybody is competent enough to have a driver’s license and be on the road operating a dangerous high speed vehicle, (not to mention you need both a license and insurance to legally operate a car). I mean, have you met the “average” American? And you think EVERYONE should be able to legally own firearms?? Just nuts.
true but thats not at all what the person is saying. they are saying they need to defend themselves for if/when these asshats come after them.
this is exactly the situation. if everyone gets guns to protect from other guns then every thing turns into a gun battle and we all end up blind. and dead.
You’re right, my bad, what your country needs is surely more guns, that will solve everything.
