Yep… well 2nd amendment folks are hypocrites apparently. Shocker.
I don’t think Trump is popular for this. The NRA has already come out publicly they are against this. Rednecks hate trans people but they hate anyone who threatens to take guns away from citizens more it looks like.
If this is allowed to happen. This will just be the start.
A republican shoots up a school and nobody sees any issue with Republican ideology, but the second a trans person does we’ve gotta take away the guns, right?
Lefties and trans folk, arm up. If you haven’t bought your piece yet, start the application process. Once you have it, it becomes almost impossible for them to take it away by force.
I think you mean the only way they’ll take it is by force, and they will if they choose to do so. You aren’t going to stop a SWAT team (or worse.)
So no gun for Eric trump. sad
Dems be like: “I allow it”
Remember: “Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.” -Karl Marx
Armed Minorities are harder to oppress.
Dems are okay with this?
Fun twist… NRA is like “hell nah!”
Originally the NRA was super against people actually carrying firearms around.
Originally, Republicans were against gun control.
Trans people are statistically underrepresented among mass shooters. If we are targeting high risk demographics we should start with white men.
Time to buy lots of guns and ammo everyone
Do you think 400 million guns were bought by only repubs?
Nope
Where is the NRA? First trans then unpardoned felons, the homeless, the unemployed poor people. The list goes on. Once in place, adding another group will not be questioned.
The NRA already said they cannot support this and stand against the sweeping ban of firearms.
Per their tweet:
The Second Amendment isn’t up for debate.
The NRA supports the Second Amendment rights of all law abiding Americans to purchase, possess and use firearms.
NRA does not, and will not, support any policy proposals that implement sweeping gun bans that arbitrarily strip law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment rights without due process.
rare NRA W, imo.
I think this kills it. NRA is one of the sacred cows of the Republican party, they don’t dare defy them.
They do this and the motives for violence only increase. How long until the next high profile assassination?
Trans folks, get your guns while you can. They might be the difference between freedom or going to RFK’s “wellness” farms. As an autistic who will someday be targeted, I intend to stand on the line of battle with you.
RFK’s “wellness” farms
the brain worm was Substance D all along…
Having a gun will not protect you from the military, which is now our enemy.
There is only the option to run and I encourage trans people to begin executing those plans I know you’ve been making to get to higher ground. Pool your resources, go together, support each other.
it makes you a harder target. think of the SovCit and cult groups that squatted on Federal land for years. the government popped a couple (Waco and Ruby Ridge) but in others (e.g. the Bundy standoff, Malheur) the fringe groups were somewhat successful. sure, maybe in part because they were white male conservatives, but I think also because the government knew it’d be a bloody mess, and likely cause them casualties too. most cops are cowards. will they risk life and limb to bag a trans person?
basically, the goal is just to make it hard to round us up, not impossible. it’s harder to sweep us up if we’re strapped.
To not fight is compliance in advance, which is a great source of power and comfort for fascism.
Further, it isn’t likely for the whole of the American military to be aligned with the Trump Regime. Odds are that we will have a civil war - and one side will have minorities serving, many of whom are competent people who have been exiled by the Trump Regime from all sectors of government: Military, intelligence, bureaucratic, and more. Already, the west coast Blue States are forming their own vaccine coalition to replace the loss of Federal services. That is the sign of an upcoming secession, as the Blue States form mutual services that are not dependent on the support of the Trump Regime.
Aside from all of that, America historically had difficulty against guerillas, whom tend to have small arms and communities. Freedom fighters within America’s borders are likely to be even more successful than their foreign peers, simply because ICE would run the risk of turning entire cities or states against the government. Foreign guerillas couldn’t quickly influence the politics of America much, because they aren’t American nor close to home.
This is going to result in either the left arming themselves in a way that will give them political power comparable to the right.
Or the courts will set a legal precedent for gun control regulations.
While I’m disgusted by the fact that it’s a targeted act of persecution, this could be the Trump DOJ setting up a long-term win for the left.
Gun control would not be a win for anyone, especially not on the left.
Liberals love gun control
Leftists do not
Ahah, the US right finally found someone that they don’t want armed to the teeth.
I’m sure they have a whole list, this just happens to be their favored first domino
What part if “shall not be infringed” do these fuckers not understand?
Ah see you’re making a common mistake when reading the law. Republican’s shall not be infringed, Democrats shall be infringed. It’s a common mistake to assume the Republicans will respect others rights, they don’t. They want all the rights for themselves and laws to apply to everyone else.
An in-group whom the law protects but does not bind, and an out-group whom the law binds but does not protect.
Shall be absolutely fine with right wing prejudice.
The general concept of social contracts, and law explicitly, apparently.
good luck with appeasing that extremely important anti 2A anti trans demographic. some say it’s the biggest voting block in the world
Hahaha…omg. USA. You’re always good for a laugh. A sad laugh, as there’s always comedy in tragedy and vice versa. But a laugh.
If I’d be lqbtq I’d probably already packing bags for a nice emigration into universal healthcare instead of fascicm and stupidity. Most anywhere else sounds like a nice destination!
let me know if you find any countries who will take us in please.
