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.

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 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.

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

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.

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'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.

you should have a discussion about it, see if her views have changed since the election.
Shits scary outside right now, wishing you the best of health ❤️

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

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

Is this where the white people twitter exodus gonna land?

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I mean it literally says whitepeopletwitter under its logo, and name, atop the side bar, so yeah, probably should expect that

Its time to make good on those death threats Chaya keeps getting

[–] archomrade@midwest.social 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I love the irony here but this is 100% meant to bait counter protestors with guns to show up to the next one, especially in Wisconsin, and especially with the current administration that has no problem holding a double-standard (liberal protestors with guns are dangerous, conservative protestors with guns are patriots).

Leftists don't have the same privilege as white conservatives do walking around with an open carry. I hope anyone bringing their firearm to a protest understands the risks involved and is ready/willing to use it if things escalate.

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is it meant to bait counter protestors or is it in anticipation of armed counter protestors to show up to the first one already?

At the end of the day it doesnt matter that much. If there is someone starting to shoot at the crowd, being in a crowd is bad. Being completely defenseless in a crowd is worse.

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.

Is it the AK47 they're uncomfortable with or the transgender badge?
