Comment on Ding ding ditch is punishable by death apparently
InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 day agoI’m also from Texas and can count the number of responsible gun owners with one hand. I understand why we need to be armed; still there are a lot of people that shouldn’t. Your story reminds of that shooting that happened at a church that happen to have the good guy with a gun ^tm^. There was some talk about allowing some people to be armed at the church I was going to with my parents at the time. Some members and the pastor went to some event with a lawyer talking about some stuff around it and I joined out of curiosity. The overall meeting was pretty mehh, but there was a nice tangent about how much you can drink and still have your gun and ammo. Some cop that was in attendance tried to call them stupid, but they pushed back that its okay if you only drink such percent drink per hour or remove the receiver. Not a great look for the cream of the crop.

I don’t. Why?
Seleni@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Because in America things like the Tulsa Race Massacre happen a fair bit, and the cops either stand by or join in, so you have to be able to defend you and yours.
Remember folks, armed minorities are harder to oppress.

That’s why we hear of all those cases were ICE agents are shot by the people they bully. Oh wait… we don’t.
Seleni@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
Because those people weren’t armed.

No but we do hear about things like this

I’d join them in a heartbeat as a minority.

Because we need to be able to defend ourselves and our communities from fascism and others who want to oppress us. Easier said than done of course.

Unfortunately the definition of fascism varies depending on who you’re talking to. There are an astounding number of people in this country who think that allowing abortion or gender affirming care are a form of fascism. And they think it’s alright to use guns to fight what they perceive as fascism.

So how many ICE agents did you already shoot?
InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Not enough

Have you recently watched the news? Looks like it’s not working.
InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
I have and that does not mean we won’t need to arm ourselves for our defense.
