I think we just don’t like guns.

“She’s probably right.” “Dude was probably violent.” “Easier to give up your guns than fight this in court” “Just give up your guns!”
Lmao wowww lemmy. Nobody here likes due process?

Speak for yourself. God forbid men should have a hobby.

Are you really pretending this is about men having hobbies?
the_elder@midwest.social 16 hours ago
I use my rifles for hunting. Some people like collecting and sport shooting. Some have theirs for self defense in higher crime areas because they can’t afford better. So yeah?

Eh, the cops are worse than the guns.
Don’t be disarming when gestapo in roaming the streets.
(But Anon probably supports the gestapo tho… 🤷♂️)

Dunno, someone having guns is a big red flag to me.

“Ah yes, someone is trying to break into my house, let’s go down to the shop and buy a gun”
Taalnazi@lemmy.world 17 hours ago
Not a normal person. And even then, here we don’t worry about criminals with guns that much.

I didn’t ask to be born in a country where burglars are likely to have firearms. But now that I am, I have to react to that fact myself.

What a terribly privileged take. Not everyone can live up in that ivory tower with you.
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 16 hours ago
If you think before posting, ask yourself: is it normal to break into people’s homes?
No. It’s incredibly disturbing behaviour, and in the USA they are likely armed as well. They’re not going to nicely ask you not to resist them. That’s why you need to have a gun so you can shoot them before they shoot you.

Someone having guns to shoot the boot soldiers of an unjust regime? All for it. Big green flag to me.
Taalnazi@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Those aren’t exactly normal people.
When I said, “someone having guns to shoot normal people”, I talked about the MAGA guys.

Lemmy wants it easier for cops to take away your guns, but simultaneously distrust the cops and want to abolish the police. So which is it lol?
But then again, this is 4chan so Anon probably is on the side of the tyrants anyways; they think they’re part of “the good ones”.

Lot of US leftists and liberals hate guns, as a reaction to the right’s obsession with them.
It is a stupid and dangerous reaction, because they give up their means of self-defense against far right militias and a fascist government.
StarMerchant938@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
You’re spot on. I’m actively advocating all my friends go out and purchase a firearm while they can. Not for some far fetched rebellion against tyranny, but simply to protect themselves from getting hate-crimed by the scum who suddenly feel they’ve been given permission to do so by this regime.
zzx@lemmy.world 17 hours ago
Exactly. I’m fully capable of both owning a gun and advocating for gun control at the same time… People act like you’re a traitor to the cause.

😂 right! Like the fascist government that is now taking hold of the US. Not fascist enough to defend themselves yet?
_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 hours ago
No, lots of liberal hate guns. Lots of leftists are either anarchist or communist, both of which support arming the populace. Many socialists support gun ownership as well.

I don’t hate guns, I hate the “gun rights” movements and there fetishization of a skewed interpretation of the second amendment where any individual has the unalieanable right to own a gun.
Even if a violent revolution were to happen, which odds are 99 to 1 it wont happen in the US in our lifetimes, then people like op hoarding guns aren’t going to help. A well regulated militia might but that requires social organization and discipline, which most people in the gun rights movement don’t have the time or willingness for.
They aren’t serious about using guns to defend liberty, they just like the aesthetic of it and make it part of there personality. So much so that they get offended by dumb and probably made up stories like this but not the countless other similar stories where there were no red flag laws and the gf gets killed.

Then they post about how the gun owners aren’t doing anything to stop the fascist government. Yea, you’ve been alienating them for decades. They’re not on your side.
