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.

"someone other than us bought weapons???"

I remember when conservatives turned against guns because the Black Panthers armed themselves against racists

The precious, precious, precious second amendment will be very selective any time now.

I can tell they mean it negatively, but they make it sound like a great time to join the protest.

There's are multiple leftist gun associations and they all have my full support (and the SRA has my membership).

Unlike the MAGA lunatics, the left actually has something to protect: those who are under attack and are unable to protect themselves. The women and the LGBTQ+ people in our country NEED to be able to protect themselves because the government is obviously not interested in their safety.

These organizations are not militias. We don't plan attacks, we don't conspire to subvert order. Our purpose is to train and protect those who need protection the most.

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.

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."

"It's not fair if they have guns!"

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 want gun rights!" "no not like that"

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.

People: please do not carry an AK. Just get an AR. ARs have interchangeable parts, ammunition is cheap, and aside from Bear Creek Arsenal, they're going to just work. AKs require significant hand fitting and there's no single standard, ammunition prices have risen sharply since the cheap milsurp ammo flow got cut off, and at the cheaper end they tend to be dangerous to the user. Yes, I know that AKs have a reputation got working in adverse conditions, but that reputation dates to the Vietnam war, when the AR was a new platform; modern ARs are far, far more reliable and accurate than an AK.

You can still get an AK for fun, but don't don't treat it like your serious gun.

This bitch loved it when armed people showed up at a library.

Ugh. I still hate guns. Guns kill people and the US obsession with them will never make sense to me.

But at this point it's probably good that it's not only the supporters if the lunatic fascist oligarchy that are armed. It hurts to admit, but I'd rather see a Nazi shot dead than a decent human being. Heck, if I were in the US I might learn how to shoot a gun at this point.

As an American....fuck yea!

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.

Hey, an actual good person with a gun!

I'm pretty anti-gun despite being on the left, but I think I've seen ~~this person~~ her at protests before and if anyone's gonna have a gun I'd prefer it be her over anyone else.

FUCK YES!! Arm the fuck up. The rights not correct about much but a good guy with a gun can indeed stop a bad guy with a gun

I fully support anyone and everyone being armed. It’s a shame we can’t have them here in the Netherlands, but I’m very pro-self defense and self reliance. The government will only protect you so far, if that. And an armed group is much less likely to get fucked with.

I support gays with AK’s, queers with auto sears, transfems with FN’s and everyone else who feels the need to protect themselves and each other.

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.

Looks like a member of the military to me. Are libs of tiktok suddenly afraid of guns?

So it’s only okay for republicans to taunt their guns.

I'd be armed if my wife wasn't so leery about firearms. She and my father-in-law are part of a ethnic minority that is specifically targeted by white supremacists and my state has active Nazi and Third Position groups. Given the way shit's going, I want to be prepared for anything.
