Why liberals, people of color and LGBTQ Americans say they're buying guns - politics - Fedia

Since Trump's election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

Every american should be familiar with how guns work because we have to live in a country with more guns than people. Imagine if you’ve never drove, been inside, or even seen a real car your entire life then one day you have to cross a NYC street. Its hard to be safe without the right knowledge.

anddd that’s why i don’t goto the USA

You can be performatively afraid of something you will likely never have an issue with for no other reason than a thing existing, that’s fine and your prerogative.

But most people here already know you are far less likely to even have issues with entry into the US than even media is making it out. Millions of people from all continents pass in and out of the US daily. You’re in far more danger being a grade-school or high-school student in the US than a foreign traveler or visitor.

naw thanks, i don’t think people should have a right to own a firearm. not a safe country.

I get the sentiment but most countries on Earth have armed citizens. You have effectively negated yourself from traveling across much of Asia, much of Africa, South America and several prominent European nations where citizens are armed.

No country is “safe” and you will live in misery and fear if you deny yourself the ability to travel and have new experiences because some people may or may not own weapons.

dude i never plan to leave my country, so im good. dont worry.
Sounds good, enjoy your bubble. Hope nothing there ever changes.
i will enjoy my bubble thanks. canada is the best place to live!
Canadians citizens are allowed to have guns. Not to the extent the US is but still have firearms.
its not a right, and you cant use them for self defense.
My favorite part of being on the internet is seeing people so confidently wrong
show me in Canadian law where its legal to use a firearm for self defense. Don’t worry, i got a nice loveseat and some snacks while i wait.

Here you go dumbass. lois-laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/…/section-34.html

Also, I love how you act like Canada is immune to this when the first and only place I’ve ever seen a confederate flag in the western Americas was in Canada. You’re not immune to crazy politics either, and they keep creeping further and further in. Western countries have gotten way too comfortable thinking their freedoms will exist forever without having to fight.

Criminal Code

Federal laws of Canada

Nothing in there mentions firearms. But keep jerking off your ar-15 that you can carry around a gun in public here to defend yourself

Brother I understand you’re stupid, but you know that the laws on self defense wouldn’t call out “gun” just for the sake of it? Canada specifically calls out that force must be justified and necessary. Here’s that same sub section I mentioned being applied to someone in their home using a gun to kill someone in Canada because they feared grave bodily harm to someone else or themself.

Also, my AR stays locked up in my safe. I live in California with nearly identical gun laws to Canada. I also can’t just shoot someone in my house and have to apply reasonable force.

At least learn the laws of the country you live in before you start being ignorant.

that case was a big deal, because when you get your RPAL, your told you are not allowed to used your gun for self-defense. we have strict gun laws for a good reason.
