We need to invite the Black Panthers to come to our communities and teach us how to use guns and methods of protesting. They have been doing it for years and have the experience. This is the first time in my life that I am thinking about getting a gun now that it is obvious the Govt is the enemy.
To encourage a more neutral discussion I might say something bland or I simply quote the post. People can react strongly to the title and argue about that instead of the post itself. Also in this case - I don’t know what to think. Bluesky libs are surprising me with their anger and stream-of-consciousness apparent willingness to move to the left. I think they are honestly saying what’s on their mind but that doesn’t mean they’ll actually change. Talk is cheap and change - real change in particular - is hard. And we all know how much libs are addicted to voting as their non-solution to everything.
I also xposted it in c/guns to see what they had to say.

Sounds to me like they’re in a great spot to educate and drag to a DSA meeting or whatever is nearby left of Dems.
