Fascists love gun restrictions

Liberty for me, but not for thee

It's always ever been an argument for themselves, white nationalists and fascists, to have the guns, and everyone who isn't them to not have guns.

They only ever argued from a constitutional nature to bend liberals who value law and fairness and it's worked incredibly well.

I figured some inconvenient truths were found about the shooter, which is why no one seems to want to run stories about it

So guess they should also ban all white cis males from owning guns too? I mesn after all those types have done a lot of school shootings.

Do you have a link to this?

only 7.4% of americans serve in the military. while i know that's not how statistics work, it seems to be a significant marker. like, i know more than a few former marines who like to talk about luring people onto gold mines because they think then it's somehow legal to murder them.

Or, you know, white disenfranchised boys? Not that they are all killers, but most mass shooters do come from that group

Well yeah, they have guns and know how to use them.

I taught self defense to families for many years, I always encouraged learning about and owning firearms as first-line items of defense because all the eye-gouging and groin-kicks in the world won't help if someone enters your home with a gun.

I am not a gun-nut. I believe we need stricter laws and required training to own the things, but that isn't going to happen so the least you can do is make sure you're not the one without a force multiplier.

I have recently been telling trans people very bluntly and directly that they need to arm up. I get a lot of pushback, a lot of it is very "online" in nature and performative, and a lot of trans girls have a hard time reconciling it with their ideas of femininity, but I am telling you all now, they may come for you. You are literally in danger in the USA. Maybe not now, but very possibly in the near future.

The only thing that will keep a fascist administration from going door-to-door to black-bag undesirables is if every home visit is a potential stand-off and bloodbath. Yes, it may come to that. It's sad and shitty that they have put you in this position, but you have to become part of the meat-grinder, not a name that disappears off lists and census surveys.

At a gun show or other private seller.

Blacks, women and LGBT have been the largest gun buying demographic since Trump 1.0.

I’m conflicted about this advice.

If we do end up in a civil war scenario, it’s important that gun ownership is not severely lopsided against vulnerable groups.

But in the meantime, gun ownership is a massive risk factor for suicide (attempts and fatalities), and trans folks are at a higher risk in the first place.

Sure, Putin's slush fund is going to argue with Putin's puppet. HA

It's likely Hitler's role models were the white supremacists of America. The Heritage Foundation has roots that trace back much further than Hitler and Nazi Germany, and Hitler himself had material regarding the effectiveness of Jim Crow laws.

The Heritage Foundation also clearly has applied lessons learned from Nazi Germany - outright executions are going to get you lots of resistance, where as disease, policy driven famine, and political violence can kill a large number without ever becoming too unpopular. Interestingly, this may be the reason they push so hard for controlling all media and social media platforms.
