      MAGA wants to shoot all the minorities, the minorities want to protect themselves.

      I know context is hard but you’ll figure it out someday

      Well no, the MAGA crowd wants to disarm everyone that smokes weed, is a “pedo” (i.e., just a normal trans person), or is otherwise different from them in any way, so basically the opposite of MAGA.

      Half of this country wanted a violent revolution. Seems the other half is happy to give it to them.

        Trumps new head of the Department of Health, Robert Kennedy, has said he would like to create a list of every American citizen who takes HRT drugs or mental health meds and forcefully put them in labor camps to cure their mental illness.

        Tell me how you protect yourself against that without a gun.

        Guns aren’t evil if your government wants to kill you

    As a none USian …solidarity with LGBTQ+/queer communities, I can’t imagine how they feel and that’s the only statement that matters at the minute.

      I live in an area that’s listed as one of the top 10 friendliest places to be trans, and I’m still absolutely fucking terrified. The election was basically the point of reckoning for me recognizing I was trans, solely due to the sheer sense of dread I felt towards the potential hatred and violence I might be facing, without explicitly recognizing why I was feeling that way until I put 2 and 2 together.

      Be interesting to see how that plays out cause the pro gun community says that won’t happen. I have no doubt it will happen though.

          Or the bump stock bans, or supporting red flag laws saying “Take the guns first, due process second”.

          The Melon Labia, Y’all Qaida Fudds never actually gave a fuck about gun rights at any point. The Trump admin was far harsher on gun rights than the Obama administration, despite the incessant wailing that gun owners were going to be rounded up any second and put into camps, and yet never said jack shit about it. They’re all cowards who just want to kowtow to Cheeto Mussolini, and have never for a moment cared about the rights of anyone.

        There are groups whos whole MO is advocacy for exactly these types of gun owners, places like the SRA if you’ve ever heard of them. I won’t claim they’re massive, but they organize. Since trans folk suffer some of the highest rates of ‘random’ violence, and Trans POCs have the absolute highest rate of ‘random’ violence against them, they focus big on those group in addition to any group made to feel othered by ‘traditional’ gun culture.

          I won’t lie, I don’t like your gun policies, but especially in this case, they’re absolutely necessary. It’s also good these groups exist. Must be absolutely terrifying for these groups at the minute. As a Brit I can’t understand it. I’ll have to look them up.

          When they disarmed the population, they didn’t disarm the fascist street gangs. Remember that part too.
