To the gun-brained “progressives”: have you ever noticed that the elites, owners, and conservatives all promote and encourage gun ownership? Why do you suppose that is?
It’s bad enough that all the rednecks think their hobby makes them Daniel Boon without fools on the left thinking a fetish object can turn them into Fred Hampton. You’re just a volunteer gun salesman, congratulations. The NRA loves you.
Weapons without education, organization, and training are just excuses to throw people in jail on felony charges, or shoot them outright.
I really want to start a sort of civil movement charity type thing that voluntarily helps minority groups learn to operate and aquire firearms. Especially in the queer community, firearms are considered an icky or scary topic, but in this day and age it’s not something you can afford to be scared of. Breaking down the macho talk of gun culture and sticking to clear, safe facts will go a long way, same for a buddy system to help people people who might not be comfortable entering the gun culture oozing gun store to purchase a gun. I know a lot of women who want to buy a gun but don’t want to be a woman in a gun store.

Is that actually so? Anything to back that up? Looking at ICE I wound dismiss that right away.

Look into the history of the black panthers. They armed themselves which caused new gun laws to be passed in the state of California. The irony being that those bills were signed into law by Reagan when he was governor
