  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.

      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.

    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.

    😂 right! Like the fascist government that is now taking hold of the US. Not fascist enough to defend themselves yet?

    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.

      They’re saying that ironically because the gun fetishists always excused their behavior with fighting tyranny. Then matched in goose-step to vote for a tyrant

  I think we just don’t like guns.

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

      Are you really pretending this is about men having hobbies?

      • the_elder@midwest.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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?

    And they’re probably borderline homicidal, just looking at stats.

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

      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.

        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.

        What a terribly privileged take. Not everyone can live up in that ivory tower with you.

    Someone having guns to shoot the boot soldiers of an unjust regime? All for it. Big green flag to me.

    • Taalnazi@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Those aren’t exactly normal people.

      When I said, “someone having guns to shoot normal people”, I talked about the MAGA guys.

  I’m pro gun, I’m just considering the statistics of a 4chan-er. Maybe that’s profiling, but I’m not a judge. He should certainly have his day in court, I’m just predicting the outcome.
