Arm people of color, disarm your local redneck.
By any means necessary.

Any means you say?
You hold the body, I hold the hand and we just pull hard until POP!
That seems like a lot of extra hard work. Why not use a machine designed for that purpose instead? It's so good at its job, it hasn't needed a design change in centuries.
Which one? The uncertainty is killing me O_O
So it’s only okay for republicans to taunt their guns.
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 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.
I'm probably gonna make my nag22 trans themed, tho I have to buy a new printer and wait for the parts to arrive
"someone other than us bought weapons???"
"I want gun rights!" "no not like that"
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.
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
incredibly based. i'll take 30.
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.
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.
It's all about timing.
Having guns makes you less safe when you don't need them
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 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.
Sweet. Sounds based. Let's do more of this.
Its time to make good on those death threats Chaya keeps getting
