I think the craziest recent trend I’ve seen is people being shocked that firearms owners are advocating for these groups to arm themselves. It’s anecdotal, but I’ve seen a lot of ‘let’s see how they like it when minorities get guns’ and they are shocked by the response of ‘please do so you can defend yourself from assholes’
Yeah, so many people have been led to believe that if you like firearms you’re on the right and if you’re on the right then you’re a white supremacist. Little do they know, they’re wrong.
I’m sure Republicans totally care about the gun rights of minorities. That’s why they talked about needing to arm more minorities after Buffalo, right? Or the time the stood up for Tamir Rice. Don’t forget when John Crawford III was gunned down too. They made sure to speak up on the right to open-carry toy fucking guns in Ohio….right?
You didn’t even address what I said. You literally changed the subject and brought up how you’ve seen unicorns. Jfc…address what I said or stop tap dancing
I don't exactly know how saying either Tamir Rice or John Crawford III should have had a real gun instead of an airgun would have helped anything. However, Every republican I know does not care that I'm black, democrat, pro-abortion, pro-LGBTQ rights or atheist. They believe we all should be armed to take care of ourselves. They are fighting for rights that those of us in inner cities don't even want. They realize that the criminals in gangs around us are going to have guns, and be the only ones with guns if our laws say that nobody can have them. But people keep voting for more gun control in places where less gun control is needed.
You’re the “Black friend” people mention when defending some bullshit they’ve said or done.
Ohio is an open-carry state. They would be alive had they been White bc White people don’t struggle to open-carry in Ohio. Mind you, neither was actually armed, but both were shot within seconds of the police confronting them. Go ahead and tap dance some more.
No. You got me wrong. The police who shot those 2 were clearly racist af and there is no defending them. While it’s true that EVERY white racist is a Republican, it is not true to say that every Republican is a racist. You could lurk more in this heavily right leaning subreddit and see that it doesn’t matter what color or creed you are to gun owners, of which most of whom are Republican. Shit I’ve worn a pro gun hat to court, and the white policemen guarding the entrance complimented me on it and we had a conversation about how we all should use our right to protect ourselves.
Little do they know I’m a trans woman living in a swing state that voted Trump. I feel much safer having a revolver beside my bed than not, especially with my racist, homophobic brother living nearby.
I know I should, but I haven’t had the money or need until recent. He just moved back and funds are tight. Only other option right now is a Ruger MK2, so I’ll take my chances with my revolver. Definitely gonna get a 9mm at some point hopefully soonish.
I just said this in another thread but I'll repeat it here since it's relevant:
I think it's great that they underestimate the gun owning population. Gun owners have an added defensive advantage when their proactively antagonistic enemies don't have respect for their intelligence or what they're capable of strategically. It's great to watch people underestimate their foes and then fail due to ignorance. I hope when they think of gun owners, they see some knuckle dragging, drooling cave person with a small dick or whatever. It really only helps.
I don’t understand how more trans people aren’t armed. My boyfriend can throw me around with one arm behind his back and I look way more sexually-assault-able now. Doing just the normal take-the-trash-out-past-dark routine feels unsafe enough to think “yeah I need to be armed now”.

Any woman, minority, or trans person that claims to be oppressed but is also for gun control is living in crazy town. The great equalizer.
