Hello comrades! Friendly reminder that American leftists continue to be threatened by gun loving conservatives. You should know how to defend yourself and you should probably own a gun. Find an active SRA, John Brown Gun Club, or (if things are dire) pink pistols or other “apolitical” gun club.

I’ve been in the SRA for 4 years, it’s not great, but I met comrades local to me. I’ve learned a lot from them and fash who post good firearms advice and I love to share that when I can.

Open for questions and I’ll post more getting started stuff if this doesn’t get banned.

    No, dude. Did you read what I wrote? I said

    1. I don’t care if you want or have a gun.
    2. I clarified how I interpreted your comment, which bore directly on how I framed my response (not wanting to kill ≠ pacifism & also in no way implies not wanting to own a gun).
    3. I asked questions to further conversation, which is how people communicate; in this case trying to find where you draw a line on violence.
    4. I said I thought it was healthy to not think you could kill someone.
    5. I pointed out that - for me, at least - this isn’t a hypothetical situation; that I believe it’s a serious topic deserving debate, which people should be thinking and taking about. In particular, I’m not trolling - these are real issues.

    What I did not say is that you needed to justify yourself, and there was no ad-hominem attack in my response.

    I think we’ve interacted before, and while I could be mistaken, I thought we’d had some good conversation with common ground. But it could be that we’ve butt heads before and that’s why I recognize your username.

    In any case, OP’s post reflects a growing feeling, especially among the targets of P.2025 - minorities, the poor - that they need to prepare to defend themselves for violence. You obviously don’t, for whatever reason, but many people do. And I think we should be talking about this.
