      Fuck it, if you dontnwant to do something about it, just leave then. Idk what you want me to tell you. As a trans woman with very mixed heritage, organization and community defense is the only reason i exist.

        What are you talking about? As I said in another post, community and grouping together is the best way. Bringing guns is incredibly stupid and inviting suicide by cop. Alex Pretti was doing it legal and he still got killed.

          Cops ae not your biggest concern anymore. It is the emboldened and armed assholes that rape and murder us. It is the state that refuses to charge them. So dont let them kill you first. They want to exterminate us. No amount of peace and love will fight that

                But not from cops. Also, what’s up with “your” in your paragraph.

                  …okay, well next time youre at a leftist based training or minority event that has independent security, maybe you’ll consider this conversation and thank your local defense group. Its okay if you dont want to be armed. But armed resistance is vital right now.

                    You’re talking in circles and slip away every time I try to pin you down. Does this sound like you’re saying the same thing to you? I said protecting yourself (your community) is fine, whatever.

                    They are both very valuable tools when facing a fascist regime with a monopoly on violence… take the history of the blck panthers as one example. The government was so afraid of them, they made new gun laws. Almost like education is about empowerment and legislation is about control. but you do you i suppose.

                    What part of cummunity defense flew over your head? We protect all sorts of vulnerable groups from would.be terrorists.

          For clarification, I’m suggesting that pelespirit’s comments are an attempt to get others to break the rules by encouraging them to describe some of the things guns can be used for so those users get the boot. Baiting them into a ban.

            Oh, I didn’t even consider that because if you manage to get yourself banned in this comm based on something so unbelievably innocuous, you have actual interpersonal issues you need to work on.

            Like if a response to basic interrogation of your premise is enough to get you banned here, that’s 1000% on you; in this hypothetical, you didn’t fall for “bait”, you just have zero composure.
