      I live in Ohio where getting a gun takes thirty minutes and you don’t need a permit to conceal carry. I’m also a clocky trans girl who gets threatened in public…

      If it makes you feel better, I’d rather have an estrogen laser, but 9mm anti-personnel rounds will have to dUwU

        I completely agree that minority groups in America should arm themselves, it’s unrealistic to think that guns will ever be banned in America, and better safe than sorry.

        However, in an ideal world (and most places) nobody would have guns, hence nobody would need a gun.

          I agree and am ready to usher in the ideal world as soon as the revolution begins UwU

        Not sure how an estrogen laser would work but if it’s anything like it sounds I wouldn’t want to use that on people, seems very unethical.

          The existence of an estrogen laser would imply the possibility of a testosterone laser, so if someone didn’t like getting estrogen lasered, they could just go get the t laser fired at them after. A hell of a game of laser tag, that.

            Do you change teams on getting hit then? How does this game work?

      that would be a good argument if we could get guns out of the hands of the police and such

      Yep that’s simple, a common fantasy that people engage in. It is also quite impossible.

      Let’s start by removing guns from police first, they are the most deadly with them.
