Charlie Kirk Memorial

Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.

NEW: This community is a place to mock MAGA, Neo-Fascism, Trump, and all the people grifting the USA and/or trying to ruin it.

Of course you can still mock Charlie, his big head, tiny face, and his inability to be honest in life and his arguments.

It’s what Charlie would have wanted.

I will continue to post this every time someone insinuates that someone else should murder Trump/ICE Agents/ etc. Instead, please focus on protecting you and yours.

In the US we have the Second Amendment. The fascists have been the ones screaming and yelling about the Second Amendment, but the truth is that all Americans have the right.

Owning a gun isn't enough. Driving to Cabela's and picking up a vermin killing .22 is not enough. You should buy a proper rifle, a pistol, and a knife or baton. (Bonus points for a shotgun) Then you need to train with said rifle, pistol and knife/baton. Go to a range and shoot. Look for local self defense/hand to hand combat with a weapon classes and train.

I am not advocating for violence...far from it. But I am advocating for knowledge because owning a weapon and not knowing how to use it is a recipe for disaster.

PS: If you can afford it, buy suppressors. Especially for your rifles. Suppression for the common citizen isn't about stealth like in the movies, it is about protecting your hearing. Guns are LOUD. Much louder than you expect. At the bare minimum, make sure you have quality active hearing protection.

I'm all for the theory of the 2A being there to dissuade tyranny. But I was middle school aged when I realized that stopped making sense sometime between 1910 and 1945.

This government will bomb citizens, given the chance (it wouldn't even be the 1st or 2nd time they've done it). A shotgun won't help with that in self defense. Nor would it help with the tanks, the jets, the drones, the special ops, the automatic guns, the chemical agents, or any number of classified weapons that would roll over the next most powerful militaries if that's what they wanted to do.

I'm not saying don't get a shotgun. I'm saying, if you really want to prepare to have to exercise your 2A rights, you probably need to be getting something that actually poses a threat to those in power. It probably won't even be gun shaped, but it will be arms in conflict.

ICE is basically the one way you can actually use guns to defend yourself from the government, because they're incompetent bullies who will probably just go away if an entire neighbourhood shows up with guns

now, they might come back with the tanks and whatnot, but it's certainly better than ICE shooting your neighbour right away.

Are you sure it's not there so that gun companies can make massive profits?

[–] jaselle@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

For every unit of revenue they make there is somebody who wants to buy a gun.

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Given that it was ratified in 1791, more than a half-century before Colt’s Manufacturing Company and Winchester Repeating Arms Company were founded, yes I would say it was not written for their profits.

He still got it wrong. The point of the 2nd Amendment is for the country to have a civil militia instead of a military industrial complex. Takes no more than a 30 second search.
