    I’ve made my point, you haven’t addressed it.

    You think you get to decide that THIS group doesn’t get to join the rest. The rest are already armed, and of course that’s a good discussion to have (reducing general gun violence.) But no, here’s where you want to argue.

    🙄

      You created a defense fantasy in your head to justify moar guns. That is about it.

      Oh, I have lots of ways to reduce gun violence. The problem is your reductionist argument that the only way to ensure equality is to make sure people are killed equally doesn’t allow for it.

      I am afraid you lost the argument high ground a long time ago my friend.

        Observe, the person demonstrating lgbt+ getting guns is the redline squirms.

        Edit this is just like when Reagan stirred up sentiments against lawful black ownership of firearms in California (before he was president). How odd he didn’t raise broad societal concerns the year prior, or the year prior or the year prior

        Late edit:

        The conclusion is either you chose this thread, and this group to complain about “think of society” topics intentionally, or you are unwittingly aligned with the type of speech rightwing groups use to demonize legal expression of rights and self defence among minority groups. I’m a pessimist so I personally assume the former.

        This is not the time/place, or referred to group to be lamenting the state of gun violence in America, unless you do so in bad faith.

                    In fact,… Coming back to this:

                    The greatest example of anti capitalist, anti class oppression action in modern times happened due to private gun ownership.

                    To suggest self defence gun ownership is capitalist bootlicking is completely incoherent.

                    ownership is cheap, private, and a right.

                    One I’m happy to argue shouldn’t be scolded away from LGBT folks because of other external concerns.

                    I never “pretended” to care about human life, I differentiated the conversation to it’s root: minority group self defence.

                    Square that away then we can start boiling the ocean on overall violence. But not before at risk people have their rights maintained.
