##RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
#IT IS THE MYTHICAL ANTIFAAAAA
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.
“It’s not fair if they have guns!”
That’s why gun laws were put into place. Honkies got scared because black panthers were arming themselves against their racist shit.

Which one? The uncertainty is killing me O_O
“someone other than us bought weapons???”
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.
“I want gun rights!” “no not like that”
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.”
Talk softly and carry a big stick
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.
So it’s only okay for republicans to taunt their guns.
Is it the AK47 they’re uncomfortable with or the transgender badge?
Pretty sure it’s the badge
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.
I’m pretty anti-gun despite being on the left, but I think I’ve seen
this personher at protests before and if anyone’s gonna have a gun I’d prefer it be her over anyone else.I’m in favor of regulating guns, and I feel like keeping one on my person / in my living space actually increases my risk of injury. However, I also think it’s a good idea to know how to violently resist if necessary. (I have shot pistols, shotguns, and rifles before.) And, I don’t think it’s unreasonable for people of any political persuasion to have access to armaments in case they need to “fertilize the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants”.
I’ve read that having a gun in your house does increase your risk of being shot. That being said, I understand that having guns helped groups like the Panthers keep their communities safer. I don’t think they’ll help us most of the time in resisting a dictatorship, though. If we beat the fascists, I think more of it will come from sabotage, mass strikes, etc, as opposed to shooting.
Most gun owners believe that those statistics don’t apply to them. I believe they do apply to me (since I do live with a gun owner).
I agree that resistance is unlikely to primarily take the form of infantry combat, but it wouldn’t surprise me if some communities do have to repel an armed force, which will be much more difficult without at least some community members having access to and proficiency with small arms.
Yeah, that’s fair. I usually don’t talk gun politics anyway because of all the insurmountable issues the US faces, that’s probably the most insurmountable.
It’s all about timing.
Having guns makes you less safe when you don’t need them
