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?

“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.”

Way i see it. White Liberals want to ban guns coz all they see is white kids getting shot in school shootings.
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 know a lot of yall will disagree with this . Would welcome yall comments so we can have a conversation
#guncontrol #BlackMastodon
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.

Two young kids with a gun in New Mexico, scary .
Some state lawmakers want to protect Texans’ right to bear arms by making sure firearms can’t be taken from people deemed harmful to themselves or society. That’s the premise behind Senate Bill 1362.
I keep coming up against the argument that all Americans need to be armed because all other Americans are armed. Add the fact a large percentage of Americans have more reason to fear then trust the police and it seems there is no reason to believe there is anyway out from American gun culture. #guns #gunculture #guncontrol
