Jesus fucking christ, a lot of you need to get your heads out of your asses and out of video games/action movies. You are not fucking John McClain. You need to *survive*, you lunatics.

I'm muting this insanity.

@Impossible_PhD The people cosplaying John McClain remind me of Summer in that one R&M episode.

(don't mind me, just trying to make light of some of this madness 😅)

@Impossible_PhD There may be a fair degree of recklessness in how people are going about it, but I do not call arming ourselves irresponsible, to the degree we are able. What is irresponsible is thinking a silver tongue will keep you safe forever: indeed to even think in terms of being safe is irresponsible. We are at the "better to die on your feet than live on your knees" phase. And anything less than that is not principle, it is cowardice.

@FinalOverdrive @Impossible_PhD There are 400M firearms in this dystopia. Some people have dozens of them & Trump is giving them permission to terrorize minorities. Buying a gun is like buying rat poison. Mostly you are less safe due to accidental death, but if you really need it nothing else protects you as well. Me? I’m considering a freezer to stock up before the meat packing plants no longer have workers. Or become a vegetarian to balance our new drill baby drill CO2 levels. Lots of beans!

@Runyan50 @Impossible_PhD How about both?

It's a tool for defense. Nothing more. It reckless to be unarmed when the enemy is armed to the teeth and only sees targets. We have to close the gap in both weapons and survival skills.

@FinalOverdrive
Whether or not I agree with your assumptions, not everyone physically and mentally can wield a weapon effectively,
much less in a crisis, much less without training before now, much less even want to.

“All or nothing” is a shit strategy.
Disabled people (of all stripes) exist and can help in different ways. You need infrastructure, logistics, medicine, etc.

Yes, teach everyone how to activate the safety on a gun. Give them other training if they want, but focus on what will actually help 80% of the gd time.
(Even if it didn’t, people still have different skills and needs.)

@MxVerda @Runyan50 @Impossible_PhD I was referring to those able. Of course I don't expect those not able to do it. Don't try to push us to not be violent. It did nothing to stop the Nazis. Only bullets can do that.

@MxVerda @Runyan50 @Impossible_PhD There is still a gap that needs to be closed...and we are at war.

@MxVerda @Runyan50 @Impossible_PhD And of course. I at no point argue only fighters matter. But a warfooting is required.

@MxVerda I mean under some circumstances I will accept dude. Might not have single fixed identity. But you're going to insult me, call me a cunt, bitch, etc.

@Impossible_PhD +1. Know what's nore effective than an AR-15? A small razor blade applied to the tire valve stems of any immigration vehicles you encounter. Superglue and newspaper on unattended federal law enforcement vehicles' windshields. A bullhorn through which you announce "Run! Immigration agents are arresting people!" in Spanish.
