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.

I miss the gold award here, you deserve one.
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
Good, every progressive should be armed. Its like the literal reason we have the second amendment in the first place.
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.
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.
Look at the smile on that person's face. The world needs more of that person.
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
Before I noticed the source, I just thought, “Badass!” Then I had the same question as you.
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.
It's so pretty! 😻
Edit: Oh, I thought I was in noncredibledefense. I'm not normally this shitposty about guns, I promise.

Looks like just some trans tape wrapped around the mag.

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).
This sounds like the Linux vs GNU/Linux meme.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as the AK-47 is, in fact, Kalashnikov's Automatic Rifle, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Kalashnikov plus 7.62×39mm. The AK-47 is not a firearm unto itself, but rather another essential component of a fully functioning infantry weapon system made effective by its rugged design, intermediate cartridge, and gas-operated action, comprising a complete platform as defined by modern military doctrine.
Many firearm enthusiasts use a modified version of the Kalashnikov rifle every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the rifle originally designated as the AK-47 has evolved into the AKM and other derivatives, and many of its users are not aware that what they are handling is basically the original AK design, refined by Mikhail Kalashnikov’s engineering.
There really is an AK-47, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they rely on. The AK-47 is the foundation: the mechanism in the rifle that cycles rounds and provides reliability in extreme conditions. The receiver, barrel, and bolt carrier group are essential parts of a firearm, but useless by themselves; they can only function in the context of a complete rifle assembly. The AK-47 is normally used in combination with its 7.62×39mm ammunition and stamped steel receiver: the whole system is essentially Kalashnikov’s rifle with these elements added, or Kalashnikov/7.62. All the so-called AK variants are really just derivatives of Kalashnikov’s original masterpiece!
AK-47's also look like black colored pencils.
