GOOD. UNIRONICALLY.
this is what we need. Parity. Like guns or not, you need them at this point or you're just going to be under the boot without ever having the tools you needed to fight back.

Awesome! Protect yourselves you beautiful queer people.

Honestly it’s good for the MAGA crowd to see that normal people in America are armed too. They see themselves as wolves among sheep, while the masses are armed only with their useless empathy and critical thinking skills.
- while the masses are armed only with their useless empathy and critical thinking skills.
  I miss the gold award here, you deserve one.
  
  I wish I could updoot you twice!

May that firearm smash many a fascist. They only action they can get from this piece involves a "rat-a-ta-ta-tat".

Armed minorities are harder to oppress. Stay strapped people. We're not even a month into this shit yet

Look at the smile on that person's face. The world needs more of that person.

Any recommendations for a decent plate carrier?

Good, every progressive should be armed. Its like the literal reason we have the second amendment in the first place.
- Got my CCW after trump won in 2016, didn't end up needing it
  Got plates after this one, I'm not going to be a protest without it and a rifle.
  It sounds like an escalation, but a show of force prevents a lot of violence, and it works especially well on the people we're protesting. Like, that's not a dig. Due to brain differences it's harder to win over the right by appealing to empathy or facts and logic.
  Everyone that works on is already mostly on our side.
  What works on conservatives is fear of immediate consequences. You think a trumpet would drive into protesters when a dozen would actually open fire and make them legit "fear for their lives"?
  Hell, they overrun the Capitol because cops just had Glocks and riot gear...
  These days a protest ain't safe unless people are posted up.
  
  I always believed in the 2A, though up to now i never owned one, don’t hunt game, and owning a gun is an extra responsibility i didn’t feel the need to take on. Though this has changed recently as i am a proud yet reluctant owner of an SFAR. I also got my gas mask with NATO cartridges.
- That's a very modern interpretation of the second amendment popularized by conservatives. What it means 'literally' is hotly debated but only relatively recently did conservative pundents push this definition away from the arguably more 'literal' concept of organized state militias. If you think an arms race between liberal activists and right wing racist hillbillies (ie. Most of America) is going to end with the armed liberals winning, you need to check out the gun cabinets and gun sheds of the conservative homes in my town. Every time I see a ridiculous call to arms post like this on Lemmy I put some money aside to donate to one of my favorite gun control charities.

  Just because people don't put them in a literal showcase and make it their entire personality doesn't mean they don't own as many they just don't want to get robbed as badly.

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.

- she’s one of the few people i would classify as literally evil
- “Chaya Raichik” isn’t a good aryan name. It sounds foreign. I say this cause who she is as a person and who she associates with seems to support fascist and ethno-nationalist ideals.
  I hope she gets everything she voted for.
  
  I hope she gets everything the men who support the same politicians as her voted for.
- The Nazi guy yesterday set up a few communities and one of them was a reposting community for post made by that group.

PLEASE make !armedqweers@lemmy.blahaj.zone more popular

Under no pretext shall arms be surrendered from the workers!

Marginalized groups should bring more weapons to protests, then maybe we could get some god damn gun regulations like back when the NRA was against the black panthers brandishing them in public.

And a Defend Equality sticker on the stock! Super based. This person has an open invitation to all my backyard cookouts next summer.

Now, as an average libsoftiktok follower, where do I call in the bomb threat? The gun owners house for owning the transgender gun? The gun manufacturer for making a transgender gun? The NRA for not making transgender guns illegal? The state capitol for allowing the transgender gun on their grounds? Or nowhere because there's evidence of the thing actually happening?

I don't get the take here.
Is this bad because....they had a gun?
Or is it bad because the gun had a transgender flag?
Aren't they all for gun rights?
- They're for gun rights within the scope of their interpretation of the constitution. It's starts out "We the people" and when you don't consider someone a person, you don't consider them to have those same rights.
- You make the fatal flaw of thinking there's reasoning behind their beliefs. They make up reasons to justify their beliefs. These reasons are always narrow-in-scope and context-dependant, but are often presented as generalized statements. They will change their argument to suit their aims.
- rules for thee and not for me
- Check out a prior example

- Before I noticed the source, I just thought, “Badass!” Then I had the same question as you.

Rational people pay attention to unarmed peaceful protestors...
But the people in power aren't rational, and the boots on the ground attack if protestors are unarmed...
Vests and rifles are going to be necessary optics at protests for the foreseeable future.
Quick edit:
Obligatory, "I think my draco might be gay"

I was really hoping for something more impressive than a sticker.
- Something more like the Hello Kitty AR-15?
  
  Yes! Guns deserve more colors than black, blued steel, and wood.
- Looks like just some trans tape wrapped around the mag.

This machine…

That’s not an AK-47.
- What is it?
  
  It’s impossible to tell because of low resolution image, but the “AK-47” or Type 1/2/3 AK hasn't been made in 70 years, and are very rare nowadays. Due to popular media, what most people think of when they hear AK-47 is the AKM, a cheaper and mass produced variant of the 7.62 AK, which this could be, but its more likely this is not a Russian-made rifle (only ~10-15% of AKs are Russian-made).

Is this where the white people twitter exodus gonna land?
- I mean it literally says whitepeopletwitter under its logo, and name, atop the side bar, so yeah, probably should expect that
  
  do they even know to come here tho... reddit out reach is becoming very hard, can't make anon accounts, can't make account without fingerprinting...
