Protect yourselves and your Trans Comrades. I hate to be a fucking nerd but if you live in a swing district this election will actually matter if they are proposing shit kind of shit; fuck the goddamn Dems for letting it get to this shit. Also find community and join any sort of Orgs you can, there is safety in numbers. If your mental health is good enough, get a gun; even if this shit doesn’t pass half the reason they do this shit is to ratchet up stochastic terrorism. Armed Queers Bash back, don’t let yourself become a statistic.
This–
Feds/police will try to get Leftists to purchase firearms in illegal ways
–is the primary reason for this,
going on the internet and telling people to buy guns
not just to tell people to buy guns, but so that we can have discussion in a mostly-anonymous and like-minded environment and help people educate themselves. I’m glad you brought it up though because it’s a very important point and worth emphasizing.
We’ve been pretty inactive as mods on /c/guns due to life circumstances, and unfortunately the informational stickies were all hidden due to the server issues. But we’re hoping to become a jumping-off point for comrades who would like to get armed so they can do so safely and legally. I feel discussing entrapment and other pitfalls here is more useful than it would be on chud gun forums full of fudd lore and people who aren’t actually at risk of hostile state actors.
