It’s the gays who are holding back my precious gun utopia

E: we need gun pride marches where me and my friends can walk down city streets with our bazookas open carried to protest illegal and hateful confiscations and prejudice by the RCMP and the world at large. We’ve come too far to give up now, no long gun registry!

There's a lotta liberal none-sense here coming from both sides here. On the one hand there is a case to be made that in some circumstances marginalized communities can practice forms of collective self defense that may necessarily involve increasing their group capacity for violence. However, advocating that we'd be a safer society if everyone was strapped at all times when in public is crazy and doesn't describe a society I would want to live in.

It’s especially stupid when Hamilton Pride is being used as an example because antifa stepped up to protect queer people when the cops wouldn’t. And they did it just fine without guns.

the ratio of humans who die from the lack of guns vs people who die by gunshot wound is like 10 to 1. And by the way not letting gays and melaninated people have guns is explicitly the nazi position on gun control which the authoritarian left just happens to agree with

Ford Fest is the yearly, now registration only, "family" barbecue that the Fords host. It used to be at their parents home in Etobicoke back when RoFo and DoFo were city councillors, it's being held in Markaham this year because they're expecting thousands of Fordnationals

It's pretty unlikely he'll be booed there, but if he were he'd probably lock himself in his room and never come out.

Speaking of shutting the gently caress up and smoking something, bitch, something I think everyone ITT could do... Supposedly we got a bunch of money from our legal weed market.

every practising white supremacist deserves to live in constant fear they can be murdered at any moment for turning the wrong corner.

They already wear masks because they know their beliefs are reprihensible. Make them more afraid to leave the house than they already are.

Or we could coddle them and engage them in thoughtful discourse. With grown men who show up to pride parades with swastika flags in 2019. It's ok to admit some people deserve to die more than others. They do it all the time.

A very public parade with lots of bystanders is not a good place to get into a shoot out with nazis.

The left in general does need to develop a better intellectual/emotional relationship with weapons, since I think we're all agreed things are gonna get a lot worse than the cops standing back to let fascists do their thing

Well at least you're honest about your fantasies.

You know we can achieve this without flooding the streets with guns?

I'm probably one of the more sympathetic people here, I've used guns extensively, enjoy shooting, and can see the power in a militia. However, I can also see that guns are being turned into a fetishistic object with magical properties to solve all our political problems. People wield guns, the people, not the guns, are the key here. You want to arm a movement before it's been built. You need a fairly cohesive and militant group to achieve what you want. Coincidentally the only place that consistently exists is on the far-right at the moment.

I don't wish to speak for minorities here, but i'll offer what i've heard and seen. Of all the LGBTQ people I know, only one of them is militant enough to carry a gun, and he's patently anti-gun, insisting that building a mass movement with a very strong protest culture is way more important. Beyond him, I know a handful that are real leftists, but definitely aren't going to be comfortable with even the idea of participating in a violent street fight. After that, its milquetoast liberals that think going to a marvel movie is good praxis. Contrast this with what we know about the far-right. If you just dump a bunch of guns into society as it stands now it will go very very badly for everyone that's not the far right.

For people (also SSB and jehde) with seemingly anarchistic leanings (ssb even calling everyone authoritarian leftists) , the pro-gun folks sure seem to want to dictate a solution to communities of people. Ask yourselves if you've actually talked to these communities about what they'd want done, what they'd like to do themselves. Based on what is being said I'd guess the pro-gun people haven't done this, and just want to use minority issues as an attractive camouflage for their pet issue. I could be wrong though.

We need more anti-fascists, not better armed anti-fascists.

You're mischaracterizing the right to self-defence as forced armament. Some people hear the word gun and panic at the idea, that's fine, you never have to touch or see a gun. You are allowed to live your life without participating in something you do not want to, I'm advocating for freedom here. Maybe don't try to push the nerds that want to keep both the guns and gays out of the overton window tho.
