I can tell they mean it negatively, but they make it sound like a great time to join the protest.
Being Madison, it could go either way. The Capitol is very lefty, but there’s hillbilly farmland 20 minutes outside town.
This bitch loved it when armed people showed up at a library.
Ugh. I still hate guns. Guns kill people and the US obsession with them will never make sense to me.
But at this point it’s probably good that it’s not only the supporters if the lunatic fascist oligarchy that are armed. It hurts to admit, but I’d rather see a Nazi shot dead than a decent human being. Heck, if I were in the US I might learn how to shoot a gun at this point.
I hate nukes but the lesson of the 21st century has definitely been “get nukes and never give them up”
Marx said workers should be armed. That sentiment didn’t come out of nowhere; shit like this is the reason why.
Marx died around the time that automatic firearms became a thing. For fighting tyranny bolt actions are solid. For mass murdering defenseless children, automatic weapons are more suited.
On the other hand if Marx had witnessed modern surveillance capitalism, he might had advocated for everyone to own automatic grenade launchers…
I remember when conservatives turned against guns because the Black Panthers armed themselves against racists
That’s when American gun control began in earnest. Like many things, the authoritarian approach is rooted in racism.
I love the irony here but this is 100% meant to bait counter protestors with guns to show up to the next one, especially in Wisconsin, and especially with the current administration that has no problem holding a double-standard (liberal protestors with guns are dangerous, conservative protestors with guns are patriots).
Leftists don’t have the same privilege as white conservatives do walking around with an open carry. I hope anyone bringing their firearm to a protest understands the risks involved and is ready/willing to use it if things escalate.
Is it meant to bait counter protestors or is it in anticipation of armed counter protestors to show up to the first one already?
At the end of the day it doesnt matter that much. If there is someone starting to shoot at the crowd, being in a crowd is bad. Being completely defenseless in a crowd is worse.
I’d be armed if my wife wasn’t so leery about firearms. She and my father-in-law are part of a ethnic minority that is specifically targeted by white supremacists and my state has active Nazi and Third Position groups. Given the way shit’s going, I want to be prepared for anything.
The only things that ever slowed the Nazis down was Russian winters and getting shot, and we’re all out of Russian winters.
you should have a discussion about it, see if her views have changed since the election.
Shits scary outside right now, wishing you the best of health ❤️
Incredibly based
FUCK YES!! Arm the fuck up. The rights not correct about much but a good guy with a gun can indeed stop a bad guy with a gun
Hey, an actual good person with a gun!
Based.
Here I was, just minding my own business enjoying my Second Amendment rights, and you people have to freak out on me!
Guns are not exclusive to Nazis 😉
Im completely against guns but still i have to admit that the trans ak47 is cool
