GOOD. UNIRONICALLY.

this is what we need. Parity. Like guns or not, you need them at this point or you're just going to be under the boot without ever having the tools you needed to fight back.

Awesome! Protect yourselves you beautiful queer people.

Honestly it’s good for the MAGA crowd to see that normal people in America are armed too. They see themselves as wolves among sheep, while the masses are armed only with their useless empathy and critical thinking skills.

Ive legit met a couple who were surprised I like blades and that I collect them. My three favorite ones are my 1942 Machete made for the US Army, my modern Ka-bar I bought at the Army surplus warehouse in Idaho Falls, and an M3 knife replica I bought from a local dealer.

Now imagine how theyd react if I had a gun, though if shit goes down ill just jack it from one of their still warm corpses.

I miss the gold award here, you deserve one.

I wish I could updoot you twice!

May that firearm smash many a fascist. They only action they can get from this piece involves a "rat-a-ta-ta-tat".

Armed minorities are harder to oppress. Stay strapped people. We're not even a month into this shit yet

FYI:

Libs of TikTok is a handle for various far-right[a] and anti-LGBT[b] social-media accounts operated by Chaya Raichik (/ˈxɑːjə ˈraɪtʃɪk/ KHAH-yə RY-chik),[10] a former real estate agent.[11][12][13] Raichik uses the accounts to repost content created by left-wing and LGBT people on TikTok, and on other social-media platforms, often with hostile, mocking, or derogatory commentary.

she’s one of the few people i would classify as literally evil

[–] [email protected] 46 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

“Chaya Raichik” isn’t a good aryan name. It sounds foreign. I say this cause who she is as a person and who she associates with seems to support fascist and ethno-nationalist ideals.

I hope she gets everything she voted for.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 14 hours ago

I hope she gets everything the men who support the same politicians as her voted for.

The Nazi guy yesterday set up a few communities and one of them was a reposting community for post made by that group.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

Good, every progressive should be armed. Its like the literal reason we have the second amendment in the first place.

Got my CCW after trump won in 2016, didn't end up needing it

Got plates after this one, I'm not going to be a protest without it and a rifle.

It sounds like an escalation, but a show of force prevents a lot of violence, and it works especially well on the people we're protesting. Like, that's not a dig. Due to brain differences it's harder to win over the right by appealing to empathy or facts and logic.

Everyone that works on is already mostly on our side.

What works on conservatives is fear of immediate consequences. You think a trumpet would drive into protesters when a dozen would actually open fire and make them legit "fear for their lives"?

Hell, they overrun the Capitol because cops just had Glocks and riot gear...

These days a protest ain't safe unless people are posted up.

I always believed in the 2A, though up to now i never owned one, don’t hunt game, and owning a gun is an extra responsibility i didn’t feel the need to take on. Though this has changed recently as i am a proud yet reluctant owner of an SFAR. I also got my gas mask with NATO cartridges.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I come from hillbillies, so technically I owned a rifle and a shotgun before I was ever born.

But I never went thru the hassle of getting a CCW and small pistol to carry.

But shits fucking crazy these days. Like I've lived in some rough areas, and had plenty of people show me their gun as intimidation since I was a punk teenager. But I was never seriously worried about getting shot, people had something to lose and I was never doing something that was worth it.

Nowadays people with a good job and family are just firing off over incredibly minor shit.

Everyone is just willing to throw it all away over nothing.

I really think we're gonna find out COVID caused similar issues to lead poisoning even among minor cases with no symptoms. People just have no chill, and everyone and their mother is strapped here now.

I also got my gas mask with NATO cartridges

You really don't need it. Tear gas in an open environment is not bad, you move 10 feet away for a few minutes.

People will tell you tennis rackets is the move, but that could lead to serious charges if used to hit one back at cops.

What you need is buckets. They fire a can, you cap it. If you do have to retreat, someone will likely (completely on accident and without any malice) knock it over releasing the tear gas and slowing the cops.

I was in the military, and i had one. Seemed like a thing to get, and it couldn’t hurt. You are right about the buckets, i have seen those work well in protests. The police had to resort to shooting protestors in the face with the grenades instead, blew someones eye out of their skull.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Shooting can absolutely be fun - not just a tool to fight oppression. "Can I shoot something smaller and further away?" is a question you can keep asking yourself!

Any recommendations for a decent plate carrier?

Under no pretext shall arms be surrendered from the workers!

PLEASE make [email protected] more popular

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

Look at the smile on that person's face. The world needs more of that person.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 13 hours ago

Marginalized groups should bring more weapons to protests, then maybe we could get some god damn gun regulations like back when the NRA was against the black panthers brandishing them in public.

[–] [email protected] 78 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

And a Defend Equality sticker on the stock! Super based. This person has an open invitation to all my backyard cookouts next summer.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 13 hours ago

Now, as an average libsoftiktok follower, where do I call in the bomb threat? The gun owners house for owning the transgender gun? The gun manufacturer for making a transgender gun? The NRA for not making transgender guns illegal? The state capitol for allowing the transgender gun on their grounds? Or nowhere because there's evidence of the thing actually happening?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Rational people pay attention to unarmed peaceful protestors...

But the people in power aren't rational, and the boots on the ground attack if protestors are unarmed...

Vests and rifles are going to be necessary optics at protests for the foreseeable future.

Quick edit:

Obligatory, "I think my draco might be gay"

[–] [email protected] 19 points 14 hours ago (5 children)

I don't get the take here.

Is this bad because....they had a gun?

Or is it bad because the gun had a transgender flag?

Aren't they all for gun rights?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 13 hours ago

They're for gun rights within the scope of their interpretation of the constitution. It's starts out "We the people" and when you don't consider someone a person, you don't consider them to have those same rights.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 13 hours ago

You make the fatal flaw of thinking there's reasoning behind their beliefs. They make up reasons to justify their beliefs. These reasons are always narrow-in-scope and context-dependant, but are often presented as generalized statements. They will change their argument to suit their aims.

I was really hoping for something more impressive than a sticker.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Something more like the Hello Kitty AR-15?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yes! Guns deserve more colors than black, blued steel, and wood.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

It's so pretty! 😻

Edit: Oh, I thought I was in noncredibledefense. I'm not normally this shitposty about guns, I promise.
