GOOD. UNIRONICALLY.

this is what we need. Parity. Like guns or not, you need them at this point or you're just going to be under the boot without ever having the tools you needed to fight back.

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

Honestly it’s good for the MAGA crowd to see that normal people in America are armed too. They see themselves as wolves among sheep, while the masses are armed only with their useless empathy and critical thinking skills.

Ive legit met a couple who were surprised I like blades and that I collect them. My three favorite ones are my 1942 Machete made for the US Army, my modern Ka-bar I bought at the Army surplus warehouse in Idaho Falls, and an M3 knife replica I bought from a local dealer.

Now imagine how theyd react if I had a gun, though if shit goes down ill just jack it from one of their still warm corpses.

FYI:

Libs of TikTok is a handle for various far-right[a] and anti-LGBT[b] social-media accounts operated by Chaya Raichik (/ˈxɑːjə ˈraɪtʃɪk/ KHAH-yə RY-chik),[10] a former real estate agent.[11][12][13] Raichik uses the accounts to repost content created by left-wing and LGBT people on TikTok, and on other social-media platforms, often with hostile, mocking, or derogatory commentary.

she’s one of the few people i would classify as literally evil

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 day ago (4 children)

“Chaya Raichik” isn’t a good aryan name. It sounds foreign. I say this cause who she is as a person and who she associates with seems to support fascist and ethno-nationalist ideals.

I hope she gets everything she voted for.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago

She likely has some exit plan to Israel.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago

I hope she gets everything the men who support the same politicians as her voted for.

The Nazi guy yesterday set up a few communities and one of them was a reposting community for post made by that group.

Awesome! Protect yourselves you beautiful queer people.

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

I always believed in the 2A, though up to now i never owned one, don’t hunt game, and owning a gun is an extra responsibility i didn’t feel the need to take on. Though this has changed recently as i am a proud yet reluctant owner of an SFAR. I also got my gas mask with NATO cartridges.

Shooting can absolutely be fun - not just a tool to fight oppression. "Can I shoot something smaller and further away?" is a question you can keep asking yourself!

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 23 hours ago

May that firearm smash many a fascist. They only action they can get from this piece involves a "rat-a-ta-ta-tat".

[–] kersploosh 87 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 34 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.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago

Under no pretext shall arms be surrendered from the workers!

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?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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"

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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 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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Something more like the Hello Kitty AR-15?

[–] ryathal 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] kersploosh 37 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

It's so pretty! 😻

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