1. #rkba #guncontrol #2A I am in no way advocating violence. But many people, including my friends (but not myself), voted for Trump because they believed he would support their right to own firearms under the Second Amendment. But seriously, when the uber rich and “Christian Nationalists” take over, and Trump no longer needs their votes, does anyone seriously believe that the upper #1% would hesitate for one second to disarm the rest of us unwashed, minority, angry, disenfranchised heathens?

I mean seriously…

Liz Oyer, former #pardon attorney under #Biden, is suing the #DOJ for her communications with the deputy attorney general's office about restoring #MelGibson's #gun rights.

“Concerns over restoring Mr. Gibson’s gun rights led to a tense back-and-forth with the Justice Department’s pardon attorney, Elizabeth G. Oyer, shortly before she was fired by the #Trump admin last month.”

But us black folk need guns to protect us coz the police don't gaf bout us so we gotta arm ourselves!
So I support the right to carry guns.

I support gun ownership.

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Get AR-15s, Semi-auto 9mm handguns, Shotguns, etc. Get effective and reliable weapons to defend yourself with. Get training and CCW permits. take advantage of permissive gun laws if you are lucky enough to live in a state with low restrictions.

Create community armed defense. Mutual self-defense of the community is important and necessary.

Dont let yourself be another murder statistic. Arm yourself. Arm your friends. Arm your neighbors. Train. Hone your skills. Defend those who are unable to defend themselves.

Stay safe. Stay strapped. Defend your loved ones. Defend your community. Defend yourself.
