    FYI:

    Libs of TikTok is a handle for various far-right[a] and anti-LGBT[b] social-media accounts operated by Chaya Raichik (/ˈxɑːjə ˈraɪtʃɪk/ KHAH-yə RY-chik),[10] a former real estate agent.[11][12][13] Raichik uses the accounts to repost content created by left-wing and LGBT people on TikTok, and on other social-media platforms, often with hostile, mocking, or derogatory commentary.

    FYI there’s an organization called the Socialist Rifle Association. They’re kind of like a very inclusive version of the NRA I suppose. I found out about them through a short documentary on youtube called Arming the Left.

    I have a pink, white, and purple braced AR pistol that fires 7.62x39.

    It’s got a 7" barrel, so it’s loud and proud.

    I’m pretty anti-gun despite being on the left, but I think I’ve seen this person at protests before and if anyone’s gonna have a gun I’d prefer it be them over anyone else.

      I’m in favor of regulating guns, and I feel like keeping one on my person / in my living space actually increases my risk of injury. However, I also think it’s a good idea to know how to violently resist if necessary. (I have shot pistols, shotguns, and rifles before.) And, I don’t think it’s unreasonable for people of any political persuasion to have access to armaments in case they need to “fertilize the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants”.

        I’ve read that having a gun in your house does increase your risk of being shot. That being said, I understand that having guns helped groups like the Panthers keep their communities safer. I don’t think they’ll help us most of the time in resisting a dictatorship, though. If we beat the fascists, I think more of it will come from sabotage, mass strikes, etc, as opposed to shooting.

    Reminds me of something a friend of mine said to me as a joke.

    “Looks like Trans Rights is over, you know what that means?”

    and I said

    “Fascism is coming for us all and we’re truly fucked?”

    She then showed me a picture of a gun and said

    “No, that it’s time for Trans Wrongs”

    It was so badass that I never forgot it.

    I give this the usual “I don’t condone violence, but if anyone fucks around they deserve to find out…”

    “Show kindness, be patient, but take no shit.”

    I fully support anyone and everyone being armed. It’s a shame we can’t have them here in the Netherlands, but I’m very pro-self defense and self reliance. The government will only protect you so far, if that. And an armed group is much less likely to get fucked with.

    I support gays with AK’s, queers with auto sears, transfems with FN’s and everyone else who feels the need to protect themselves and each other.

    I find it kinda amazing that they act shocked that Transpeople are arming and antifa is showing up armed when these motherfuckers have been brandishing firearms at their gatherings since literally forever.

      “The second amendment is essential to protect against tyranny!”

      …Right wing takes over US government and immediately starts attacking and marginalizing trans and other groups…

      …trans and others start carrying guns…

      “Not like that!”

        To conservative white mean, tyranny means having to pay an income tax to support social programs, not being allowed to marry 13 year olds, or the government pushing renewable energy over coal.

        To other groups, tyranny has a slightly more real meaning.

        I have historically been pretty pro gun control because my life had seen the US generally becoming more socially progressive and supportive of marginalized groups (whether that was truly the case is another question), but the last 5-10 years have me seriously walking back on that stance.
