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.
Good info, thanks. I suspect this may be only true for states that keep databases of gun owners, like California, but I don’t know for certain. I don’t know what mechanism local police in other states would use to see if someone is a gun owner or not (other than CCW licenses, if you have one in that specific state), unless there’s been recent developments.
This is the kind of discussion I’m hoping for so we can get more diverse experiences and opinions. It’s difficult for me to cross-apply my experiences living in a red state and give relevant advice for people in blue states.
