    If this thing goes on for four years as it has gone for the last 2 weeks, there’s definitely going to be some mass shootings committed by trans people in USA.

      I fully intend (and I’m aware of the risks of saying this online, I don’t care), to burn down government buildings if they actually declare war on Canada. Until then, I’ll keep to my peaceful protesting and spreading happiness and dissent at my workplace until there’s enough wiggle room for a union to show up

    I am all for this wave of “Pink Panthers” arming themselves. Hopefully it will lead to some actual gun control laws, because it scares the cowardly fascists.

      That’s why gun laws were put into place. Honkies got scared because black panthers were arming themselves against their racist shit.

    I find it kinda amazing that they act shocked that Transpeople are arming and antifa is showing up armed when these motherfuckers have been brandishing firearms at their gatherings since literally forever.

      “The second amendment is essential to protect against tyranny!”

      …Right wing takes over US government and immediately starts attacking and marginalizing trans and other groups…

      …trans and others start carrying guns…

      “Not like that!”

        To conservative white mean, tyranny means having to pay an income tax to support social programs, not being allowed to marry 13 year olds, or the government pushing renewable energy over coal.

        To other groups, tyranny has a slightly more real meaning.

        I have historically been pretty pro gun control because my life had seen the US generally becoming more socially progressive and supportive of marginalized groups (whether that was truly the case is another question), but the last 5-10 years have me seriously walking back on that stance.

    FYI there’s an organization called the Socialist Rifle Association. They’re kind of like a very inclusive version of the NRA I suppose. I found out about them through a short documentary on youtube called Arming the Left.

    Reminds me of something a friend of mine said to me as a joke.

    “Looks like Trans Rights is over, you know what that means?”

    and I said

    “Fascism is coming for us all and we’re truly fucked?”

    She then showed me a picture of a gun and said

    “No, that it’s time for Trans Wrongs”

    It was so badass that I never forgot it.

    I give this the usual “I don’t condone violence, but if anyone fucks around they deserve to find out…”

    “Show kindness, be patient, but take no shit.”

    I have a pink, white, and purple braced AR pistol that fires 7.62x39.

    It’s got a 7" barrel, so it’s loud and proud.

    Every minority should be armed

    Make it clear to every Trump supporter that their fascist rhetoric leads to us shooting them in self defense.

    Tell them to snap out of it and confront reality when they clutch pearls about you fighting back.

      Both, when combined.

      They prefer being the only ones armed, so they can oppress marginalized folk.

      its original wood furniture without any of the ris bullshit that makes the gun actually modern and usable, so if anything they’re quite impressed by the good taste on display.
