A place for all to discuss defense, weapons, strategy, and related topics, especially in relation to the Igbt community and our allies
The best option for a defensive firearms is a 5.56x45mm AR-15, 12gauge Remington 870 shotgun, and a reputable 9x19mm handgun.
Defensive firearms should have a WML, long guns a sling, and handguns require a Kydex or solid plastic holster that fully covers the trigger.
A red dot or etched optic is ideal, but backup irons are important as well! Be sure to check out r/TheArmedGayAgenda

MODERATORS
fuck the nra but im genuinely surprised they're pretending to give a shit about trans people.
It’s not about trans people, its 100% about 2A and guns.
I don’t like the NRA, but this purist stance is solid. 2A is for everyone. Or should be.
Didn't stop them with the Black Panthers though...
I feel like it's only because they feel painted into a corner. It apparently took them over a week to respond this way..?
From checking news posted to fediverse trans communities, it appeared the doj's intentions to ban trans gun owners was first published on September 4th, and the nra published a statement on the 5th.
That seems pretty quick to me. I don't see where you're getting over a week.
ah ok. I hadn't seen the NRA statement until today. The original announcement from the DOJ felt like longer ago than a week but I guess it wasn't.
We are living in Trump time again. Remember last term? Each day felt like a week or a month had passed, depending. And this time is much, much worse. We’re in front row seats to death of democracy, the routing out of the shattered remains of the middle class, militarization, privacy erasure, and bankruptcy while this admin robs the nations coffers.
This is how the catecholamine response of the human body works. Fight, flight, or freeze it creates an internal sense of a time warp in which everything slows down.
You may think you’re having a relaxed day, but if this is an overall effect you’re experiencing, you’re not, really.
This isn’t as obvious as the lab animal that lays down on the randomly electrified floor, but that is our present state of being right now. A perpetual inner state of learned helplessness:
Oh I definitely feel all of that. It's such a bizarre idea to me that some people are totally tuned out of the world burning around them. My parents and some others I know are like that. I could never ignore the truth like that.
Compartmentalization is a defense mechanism.
For my parents, it's not that though. They are just resigned to pretend nothing has changed with Trump, because they need to believe that. They voted for him.
Again, I’m not a fan. I don’t know how long it took them to respond, but, to be fair, there is ALOT out there every day.
I apparently missed the fact that Trump was missing or presumed dead. I tap into social media nearly daily, in part, because it’s less likely to put me on a watch list than googling “Is Trump dead yet” every day.
I only found out about this story from Josh Johnson, who is a weekly watch for me. Either he was exhausted or the lack hit him pretty hard because it was his weakest set.
