the pushback to folks choosing to pursue firearms training or obtain them always throws me for a loop

ultimately this should be the choice of the individual

maybe there are posts i don't see that proclaim everyone must arm themselves by 13:12pm this Tuesday but i'm not seeing such posts

is there a long line where somebody is passing out AKs that i missed?

#CommunityDefense

if you talk to people who do community defense you will find gun safety is a paramount, primary focus

if you even look at professional trainers who are conservative or reactionary, this usually still holds

the average gun owner is far more responsible than how they are portrayed by people who don't like guns or who have no experience with them - at least in terms of gun safety and avoidance of injury

@johnbrowntypeface so only bad people kill? not angry husbands? or fathers angry their daughter didn't support Trump? or school shooters who are suffering from mental health issues and loneliness? Suicides? The common denominator is access to guns. USA had about 8,000 - 39,000+ deaths caused by guns

@Robo105
it's axiomatic that gun violence is related to guns

everything else you mentioned is caused by structural issues related to capitalism and authority
