So “armed minorities are harder to oppress” is great and I absolutely support it, but many of us cannot safely own guns. What should we do instead? Self defense knowledge and pepper spray only go so far against someone who DOES have a gun.

There is no real self defense tool besides a gun tbh The only thing I would say is even slightly comparable is bear spray but u will be sued if u ever use it because if u aren’t willing to kill it’s really hard to argue self defense Also not bear spray and pepper spray are not the same pepper spray is meant to stop sex crime at most and is mostly just a tool to feel safer and doesn’t really do as much as advertised

What do you mean by “cannot safely own guns”? Firearms are pretty safe in my experience.

There are many reasons that someone cannot own a firearm, only one of which is suicidality. Some can’t because they pose a risk to others, some can’t because they physically can’t operate one, some can’t because of where they live.

If your reason is “I might kill my self” is not the firearm that is unsafe, it’s you.

Hey #1, since you had time to respond to other comments and not mine asking about “transphobia” I’m going to assume you were talking out of your ass like you’ve been doing this whole thread, and didn’t actually feel like I’d been transphobic. I’d like to emphasize my statement from earlier: go be a loser elsewhere, your behavior is weird as fuck

Do you mean the idiots or the ones killed by ‘unstable’ people? Cause in either case is still a person being unsafe, not the firearm.

1) I will not go somewhere else, this is my own post. 2) I obviously don’t want to cower in a dark room, otherwise I would not have asked about what else I can do besides owning a gun 3) I thought the sword was a joke, which is why I responded as I did. I don’t think a sword is a genuine 4) I never said I am suicidal. You assumed I was. It’s not your business whether or not someone i live with is, or any other reason

5) As stated in my post, I SUPPORT PEOPLE OWNING GUNS. I also recognize that many people cannot safely own guns. 6) I’m disturbed by your disregard for people with mental health struggles, and to be quite honest, I don’t care to have a conversation about this with someone who implies suicidal people should just end it anyway.

Yeah that’s what I thought. They’ve responded to other stuff but not this. Claiming transphobia as a “gotcha” when no transphobia has occurred (or a minor enough instance that other trans people can’t tell AND you’re unwilling to explain) is asshole behavior. I think they’re desperate to make me seem bad when they don’t really have anything to grab onto.

Again, HOW IS THAT TRANSPHOBIC? And also, I did not assume you’re a man. I called you dude because I typically use it as a gender neutral word, but I can understand how someone would not like it. If you don’t want to be called dude, you can ask instead of dodging the question!
