Incredibly based

Good, every progressive should be armed. Its like the literal reason we have the second amendment in the first place.

Got my CCW after trump won in 2016, didn't end up needing it

Got plates after this one, I'm not going to be a protest without it and a rifle.

It sounds like an escalation, but a show of force prevents a lot of violence, and it works especially well on the people we're protesting. Like, that's not a dig. Due to brain differences it's harder to win over the right by appealing to empathy or facts and logic.

Everyone that works on is already mostly on our side.

What works on conservatives is fear of immediate consequences. You think a trumpet would drive into protesters when a dozen would actually open fire and make them legit "fear for their lives"?

Hell, they overrun the Capitol because cops just had Glocks and riot gear...

These days a protest ain't safe unless people are posted up.

Guns are not exclusive to Nazis 😉

Armed minorities are harder to oppress. Stay strapped people. We're not even a month into this shit yet

And a Defend Equality sticker on the stock! Super based. This person has an open invitation to all my backyard cookouts next summer.

Awesome! Protect yourselves you beautiful queer people.

Here I was, just minding my own business enjoying my Second Amendment rights, and you people have to freak out on me!

[-] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago

Marginalized groups should bring more weapons to protests, then maybe we could get some god damn gun regulations like back when the NRA was against the black panthers brandishing them in public.

[-] VerbFlow@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

Under no pretext shall arms be surrendered from the workers!

Trawling through to make sure that this was posted. Good job!

Arm up friends! But always be sure to know as much as you can as well.

Now, as an average libsoftiktok follower, where do I call in the bomb threat? The gun owners house for owning the transgender gun? The gun manufacturer for making a transgender gun? The NRA for not making transgender guns illegal? The state capitol for allowing the transgender gun on their grounds? Or nowhere because there's evidence of the thing actually happening?

Rational people pay attention to unarmed peaceful protestors...

But the people in power aren't rational, and the boots on the ground attack if protestors are unarmed...

Vests and rifles are going to be necessary optics at protests for the foreseeable future.

Quick edit:

Obligatory, "I think my draco might be gay"

Look at the smile on that person's face. The world needs more of that person.

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago

I was really hoping for something more impressive than a sticker.

[-] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 28 points 1 day ago

Something more like the Hello Kitty AR-15?

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago

Yes! Guns deserve more colors than black, blued steel, and wood.

[-] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 38 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's so pretty! 😻

Edit: Oh, I thought I was in noncredibledefense. I'm not normally this shitposty about guns, I promise.

I don't get the take here.

Is this bad because....they had a gun?

Or is it bad because the gun had a transgender flag?

Aren't they all for gun rights?

[-] prayer@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 day ago

They're for gun rights within the scope of their interpretation of the constitution. It's starts out "We the people" and when you don't consider someone a person, you don't consider them to have those same rights.

[-] GlitchyDigiBun@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

You make the fatal flaw of thinking there's reasoning behind their beliefs. They make up reasons to justify their beliefs. These reasons are always narrow-in-scope and context-dependant, but are often presented as generalized statements. They will change their argument to suit their aims.
