"open source defense"? Disgusting. I have a friend in #norway who is part of the military and always a good point about #american obsession with #guns. In the #EU gun ownership is NOT a right. It's very expensive. Very. But, you are PAYING other people to play with guns on your behalf (unless you're Finnish). That's their JOB. If you want to be a "professional citizen" then...get paid to do it...in the #miltary. Stop pretending. They also don't get "bootlicking" #news

"I wish white Christian Conservatives had the same passion for migrant children, school shooting victims, sick toddlers, young black men, Muslim families, LGBTQ teens, the environment, and women's autonomy over their bodies that they claim to have for embryos."

For any #USA friends arguing against the “Good guys with #guns” trope: here is clear proof that the good guys don’t need guns: abc.net.au/news/2025-03-07/ava

Meet hero ordinary (and obviously unarmed) passenger #BarryClark, who, along with the plane’s captain and an attendant, just stopped a maniac who had a shotgun who got onto the tarmac and made his way up to the door of a plane.

Barry Clark, hero. (Middle aged white guy smiling at someone. Several other people are visible, but not a full shot of any of their faces.)

ProPublica: Targeted: How Cambridge Analytica Used Intimate Data to Exploit Gun Owners’ Private Lives. “For years, some of America’s most iconic gun-makers turned over sensitive personal information on customers — without their knowledge or consent — to the gun industry’s main lobbying group. Political operatives then employed those details to rally firearms owners to elect pro-gun […]

Washington Post reports another wave of trans folks buying firearms for the first time due to the election of genocidal dictator Donald Trump.

Other outlets have been reporting since November that members of the entire LGBTQ community have been arming fast for defense given the uncertain dangers ahead.

The main concern is bigots on the street, empowered by the knowledge that they will never be prosecuted by any arm of government Trump has any say over. "Civil unrest" has also been cited as a reason for getting armed and trained.

The Pink Pistols are right: armed Gays (and trans folks) don't get bashed!

India Today reports the Pink Pistols and SRA are doing especially well

These groups have had to schedule additional training classes due to the huge demand. It seems most of the new gun buyers understand very well that a gun you've never shot before is all but useless in a fight. Same as in any army: it's not just the weapons, its the training that makes the difference.

India Today · Gun purchase surge among LGBTQ community as Trump's White House return loomsA growing number of LGBTQ individuals in the US are seeking firearms training and joining gun groups, citing fears of persecution and violence under the second Trump administration. Thousands have requested training since the election, with many expressing concerns about self-defence and safety.

it occurs to me that the one agency i wouldn't mind DOGE tearing through would be the #ATF, but thanks to #NRA lobbyists and republican pandering they're still on microfiche last i heard. the republicans blocked #NIH funding into gun violence for decades. there's probably mountains of crimes in the ATF records room and nobody cares enough to start scanning film because they're told not to.
