I don’t want to be “that guy” but now is the time to stock up.

    all of a sudden the party of “gun laws don’t stop criminals from getting guns!!!” wants to make gun laws to stop law abiding citizens from getting guns…

    every single time i think to myself “that’s it–we’ve achieved the absolute maximum in stupidity. nothing can possibly be stupider than this,” i’m proven wrong the next day

    fuck trump, and fuck everyone who voted for it

      “The real problem is we banned prayer in schools…”

      (Mass shootings in churches)

      “The real problem is not enough guns…”

      (Mass shootings at Army bases)

          Remind me who those people were? Regular citizens wanted to go in and shoot the Uvalde shooter themselves. The “professionals” arrested them for it.

    Yeah, that’s the prime sign. Everyone who’s trans and does not have ideations should buy a firearm right this instant before they can’t.

    Remember, kids: do not let them take you quietly.

      I appreciate the qualifier of not having ideation. I’m not trans but I do have suicidal ideation and decided that gun ownership would be a bad idea.

      Edit: gun ownership for me would be a bad idea.

        I’m in the same boat. These days I feel like it’s mostly under control but occasionally a bad day happens and if I had the means … Well, it doesn’t take much effort to pull a trigger and I know it.

        I’ve decided the best way I can support and help should violence erupt is to cultivate other skills, like learning some EMS skills or having a garden. Still learning but I think those things might ultimately be more helpful than the gun anyway.

        Yeah, one cannot defend themselves from external threats if they can’t defend themselves from their own brain. But you can always push a friend who doesn’t have any ideations to defend you if necessary.

    Right, but nothing about the other 20+ shootings that were done by white men. Those guys can have as many guns as they want.
