People: please do not carry an AK. Just get an AR. ARs have interchangeable parts, ammunition is cheap, and aside from Bear Creek Arsenal, they're going to just work. AKs require significant hand fitting and there's no single standard, ammunition prices have risen sharply since the cheap milsurp ammo flow got cut off, and at the cheaper end they tend to be dangerous to the user. Yes, I know that AKs have a reputation got working in adverse conditions, but that reputation dates to the Vietnam war, when the AR was a new platform; modern ARs are far, far more reliable and accurate than an AK.

You can still get an AK for fun, but don't don't treat it like your serious gun.

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.

Incredibly based

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 remember when conservatives turned against guns because the Black Panthers armed themselves against racists

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

GOOD. UNIRONICALLY.

this is what we need. Parity. Like guns or not, you need them at this point or you're just going to be under the boot without ever having the tools you needed to fight back.

Awesome! Protect yourselves you beautiful queer people.

Honestly it’s good for the MAGA crowd to see that normal people in America are armed too. They see themselves as wolves among sheep, while the masses are armed only with their useless empathy and critical thinking skills.

May that firearm smash many a fascist. They only action they can get from this piece involves a "rat-a-ta-ta-tat".

Armed minorities are harder to oppress. Stay strapped people. We're not even a month into this shit yet

Good, every progressive should be armed. Its like the literal reason we have the second amendment in the first place.

Look at the smile on that person's face. The world needs more of that person.

Under no pretext shall arms be surrendered from the workers!

And a Defend Equality sticker on the stock! Super based. This person has an open invitation to all my backyard cookouts next summer.

PLEASE make !armedqweers@lemmy.blahaj.zone more popular

Marginalized groups should bring more weapons to protests, then maybe we could get some god damn gun regulations like back when the NRA was against the black panthers brandishing them in public.

Any recommendations for a decent plate carrier?

Now, as an average libsoftiktok follower, where do I call in the bomb threat? The gun owners house for owning the transgender gun? The gun manufacturer for making a transgender gun? The NRA for not making transgender guns illegal? The state capitol for allowing the transgender gun on their grounds? Or nowhere because there's evidence of the thing actually happening?

Rational people pay attention to unarmed peaceful protestors...

But the people in power aren't rational, and the boots on the ground attack if protestors are unarmed...

Vests and rifles are going to be necessary optics at protests for the foreseeable future.

Quick edit:

Obligatory, "I think my draco might be gay"

I don't get the take here.

Is this bad because....they had a gun?

Or is it bad because the gun had a transgender flag?

Aren't they all for gun rights?
