        Armed minorities are what led to the start of the biggest gun restrictions in California, enacted by Republican politicians.

      LGBT, blacks and women have been the largest gun buying demographic for a few years. Some of you suburban white boys need to ask yourself why before you end up on a train ride you never thought could happen.

      I’m a straight, middle-aged white dude, but I have no fear wearing my gear out and about.

      Can also recommend looking into local HEMA clubs as a step in that direction depending on your goals. Generally they tend to be queer friendly (if not queer themselves) and can help you learn some melee combat basics, which may be more relevant depending on your environment. I learned a lot from axe-and-shield fighting, even though it’s not directly applicable in most real world situations. But the silly Viking shit was fun enough to make me really love showing up and practicing, and it helped me get confident using an axe. So now I feel comfortable open carrying a utility axe for self-defense with a lot of plausible deniability. Also taught me how to deal with a riot shield :3

    Media: John and Jane American, what are your biggest concerns about the future?

    J&J: The price of groceries, housing, climate change, essentially the economy and my ability to live a comfortable life.

    Trump: LEMME REGULATE YOUR GENITALIA! HATE PEOPLE THAT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND! VOTE FOR ME!

    Magoos: mmhmm! He really cares about us!

    In Montana, a battleground senate state, we basically have two political ads from the R side

    1. IMMIGRANTS are BROWN

    2. TRANS people playing SPORTS

    It’s literally so fucking tiring.

      Personally, I’m for less sports in general. But I like playing frisbee and you can’t subscribe to that on television.

    Well that’s understandable I am pretty powerful. i’d be scared of me too, if I was a fascist fuck. As soon as I get my super strength it’s over for them.

    In the meantime I’m volunteering for election protection efforts.

    Those fucking ads are ruining one of the few things i have to enjoy, football. I’m just trying to watch the game and then get to hear a very expensive fuck you from people that hate me crying about people getting legitimate healthcare.
