I'm yet to hear someone defend themselves successfully with a semi-automatic against ICE.

Surprised this group hasn't been mentioned. I have known, and been friends with, several members.

The lower left picture (and other knowledge of the groups) makes me think that the upcoming resistance will be led by trans and furry hackers/coders, etc. I hope they can organize. How sick would that be if they're the ones responsible for taking down the fascists.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Yup, I'm a lifelong filthy anti-gun liberal.

Can't be anymore.

It's time to get armed. Wish it wasn't, but the writing is on the wall. If Americans want to go on blowing each other's heads off and having endless school shootings, well, that's better than living under fascism, which is here, now.

Gonna be a lot harder for them to do what they want if we're all packing.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

If guns were the solution to minority oppression then the US would be the least oppressive place in the world.

Checks notes Apparently guns don't help, but please do tell that to the 50,000 Americans we lose every year to gun violence.

That is right every year we lose more citizens than a major conflict and that is just "normal" apparently.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Doesn't matter. Fascism is here. Time to get armed.

You serve no purpose in your conversations other than to try to garner support for your paranoia. I notice how quick you are to point at problems, and how you have yet to offer any solutions or propose any alternatives. Nobody should engage you in any meaningful conversation for which you appear to be unable to engage in good faith. You also said this.

“Saying the US is turning fascist is nonsensical.” - Doomsider

Now stand by your words and explain to everyone why you're not wrong without changing the subject and spouting about some vaguely related historical fact to obfuscate. Eat Crow, Doomsider.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I can support my statement with facts. All you have is feelings apparently. Cheers!

You've lost the narrative. Nobody cares what you think anymore, if they ever did. You enjoy the taste of boot leather with a sanctimonious superiority fetish. This is what you are.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I could care less about what a mentally ill wannabe fascist thinks about me. Haters gonna hate.

[-] YouAreLiterallyAnNPC@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Since you're not messaging me, anymore, I just want you to know that I think it's really sweet of you to be able to care less for me. You've set our differences aside and become a better person than you were before. That's what life is all about.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Oh please, you are such a ham.

[-] YouAreLiterallyAnNPC@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Man, if you need help.. just reach out. I'm here for you.

You're a fascist apologist. That's a fact. For the record, so everyone here knows what you are: Do you or do you not support using violence against violent fascists?

I suggest you watch these 3 videos in sequence and in full (assuming you have the attention-span for it):
guns part 1 (technicalities)
guns part 2 (failed laws)
guns part 3 (possible solutions)
especially if you're non-US.

[-] ShadowZone@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Knew it was Beau before I even clicked on it. Great little video series he did back then!

"Only 3 kinds of people in the world: pro-gun, anti-gun and those who actually know how firearms work."

[-] Freefall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I miss that man. His wife is doing a great job though.

[-] Naloxone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

She doesn’t do it for me the way Beau did! She’s not bad, she just has a different way of delivering things that I don’t enjoy as much.

[-] 0x0@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

She's clearly reading a script, whereas he seemed to be talking without one.

[-] PrinzKasper@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago

Genuine question, how exactly do you picture this playing out? Let's say you are a homosexual married person in the US, and the right for gay marriage is overturned. Now what? How is a gun going to help you? When someone tells you "actually you're not married anymore" just shoot them? What is the plan here?

[-] ssroxnak@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

PSA: WHEN YOUR LIFE IS THREATENED BY MASKED THUGS, PLEASE DO NOT RESIST. JUST DO WHAT THEY SAY AND QUIETLY DISAPPEAR. DO NOT MAKE THE FASCISTS KNOW FEAR. REMAIN HARMLESS.

I DO NOT WISH TO SEE ANYTHING THAT THREATENS MY COMFORT OR PRIVILEGE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER.

You're sincerely confused? It's clear you have no background in anything military or perhaps even psychology. It's power-projection. You've become so conditioned to believe that power-projection is only used as a tool of oppression that you're overlooking the fact that it's better to point guns than it is to face guns, and it's certainly worse to face guns without one to point back. Would you rather cede power to those who desire it than support empowering those who would wield it to protect your right to exists? You want to exist in an ideal world? Be willing to fight for it -- the ones who wish to oppress others are certainly willing to use violence to achieve their means. Once you've claimed victory over violent oppression, then you can set the guns aside and build a society around the flimsy concept of a disarmed society. Guns are still tools and have uses outside of violence, but that's outside the scope of the point I'm making.

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 57 points 3 days ago

I know how to handle firearms and I'm somewhat able to hit a target. But oh my god do I not want to use any, for anything.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Better to have and not use than need and not have.

[-] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 34 points 3 days ago

ideally, you won't have to. Just living within a gun positive culture is pretty preventative of the bad things that could be directly done to you. otherwise, make a range buddy?

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago

Just living within a gun positive culture is pretty preventative of the bad things that could be directly done to you.

Ha. I know this is the wrong community to laugh at this, but honestly it's hilarious.

It takes more than just being "Yeah guns!" to avoid violence between people. It takes a society where people don't take each other for granted.

Fear is a terrible demotivator for people looking to cause damage. At best they'll be looking for ways to cause damage before you'd notice, before you'd ever be able to pull a gun.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Nope, I’m a lifelong anti-gun authoritarian.

Good people will hesitate to shoot, an armed society just puts the worst group in charge because they don’t care about killing.

[-] prole 2 points 1 day ago

Did you just call yourself an authoritarian?

The Black Panther Party would "politely" disagree with you. While armed to the teeth.

Tw'ain't no white racists trying to pick on black people when the Panthers were around.

Edit: Oh yeah, and J. Edgar Hoover labelled this group as a national security threat, so it has that going for it as well.

Can't do it, my brain is bad

[-] Tayb@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

It takes a lot to realize that and exercise that restraint. You're a good egg. With that being said, a paintball gun would have a low chance of self-harm, but they make coyote urine balls that smell terrible on impact. Just saying.
