Description: a Border Collie with a rainbow collar, hunched over and snarling with their hackles raised. They are posed protectively in front of a lamb with a trans flag collar. Text above says, "Protect Your Herd".
In terms of sheer number of firearms, I'm close to the average American gun owner
Still below average though lol
And don't forget, knowing how to use your weapons is more important than just having them. Yes an amateur with a weapon is still dangerous, but someome who knows how to use a tool is far more effective than someone who doesn't know how.
And if you know someone with a few different kinds practice with theirs before you buy your own. The last thing you want to do is get something you can't handle/use and have it gather dust.
And stick to common calibers, trust me. You want to be able to get ammo basically anywhere without issue.
Yes, we're seeing that right now in the US. Armed minorities are rising up against the emerging fascist government.
In fact, this government is showing clear signs of wanting to repeal gay marriage and rights for LGBTQ people, and I'm sure them being armed will prevent all of this.
Gun-fetishizing fascists like to pretend they're the "sheepdogs" protecting the flock from the ethnically ambiguous wolves. Or transpeople using public restrooms.
It's a whole thing, got popularized by American Sniper but Eastwood was just repeating some established propaganda.
You'll note the author of that piece, even when trying to be rational and self effacing, just slobbers all over boots as he does it. I'm not going to hold it against a guy who gets it just enough to recognize something that's toxic and dangerous when he sees it, but that's also very typically the kind of guy I see at my range and they most definitely do not get it.
We all see how much the dems are doing to stand against trump. And I mean the party not individuals that the party shows very thoroughly they disagree with them when they stand up.
