Because in America things like the Tulsa Race Massacre happen a fair bit, and the cops either stand by or join in, so you have to be able to defend you and yours.
Remember folks, armed minorities are harder to oppress.

That’s why we hear of all those cases were ICE agents are shot by the people they bully. Oh wait… we don’t.

I’d join them in a heartbeat as a minority.

Have you recently watched the news? Looks like it’s not working.
InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I have and that does not mean we won’t need to arm ourselves for our defense.

InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Not enough

So what you wanted to say was not a single one right? And you surely are not going to any time soon, just as any other guy that parroted those talking points over the last couple decades.

Unfortunately the definition of fascism varies depending on who you’re talking to. There are an astounding number of people in this country who think that allowing abortion or gender affirming care are a form of fascism. And they think it’s alright to use guns to fight what they perceive as fascism.
