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?

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"

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?

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.

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.

rules for thee and not for me

Before I noticed the source, I just thought, “Badass!” Then I had the same question as you.

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

Something more like the Hello Kitty AR-15?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

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

Looks like just some trans tape wrapped around the mag.

It’s impossible to tell because of low resolution image, but the “AK-47” or Type 1/2/3 AK hasn't been made in 70 years, and are very rare nowadays. Due to popular media, what most people think of when they hear AK-47 is the AKM, a cheaper and mass produced variant of the 7.62 AK, which this could be, but its more likely this is not a Russian-made rifle (only ~10-15% of AKs are Russian-made).

AK-47's also look like black colored pencils.

Is this where the white people twitter exodus gonna land?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I mean it literally says whitepeopletwitter under its logo, and name, atop the side bar, so yeah, probably should expect that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

do they even know to come here tho... reddit out reach is becoming very hard, can't make anon accounts, can't make account without fingerprinting...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Oh I expect most to go elsewhere, but the portion that end up on lemmy, after doing a search for reddit alternatives, will end up here. The greater portion probably won't end up at a single place, as there aren't any reddit alternatives in the way that reddit was an alternative to digg.
