At this rate America's 4B movement is gonna stand for "bang bang bang bang"...
I thought the whole point was not to bang?
Stop banging and start banging!
Im a liberal guess who now has a gun safe with multiple guns?
I guess we are making America great again by arming the liberals too?
Also by helping the struggling gun industry
I get that but im surrounded by people with guns who could take everything from me if they chose to.
American ‘solutions’ for American problems
Look, if we had vaccine guns, I'm pretty sure the anti vax movement would switch overnight.
Edit: There would be pro-cdc paramilitary snipers on every roof. It would get tedious.
It’s a shame they’re inherently dangerous, hence why they aren’t used anymore. They have a high risk of spreading infection when blood/fluid ricochets back into the device while administering a dose. Thus contaminating the next one to be administered. Basically, the risk isn’t worth the convenience.
I still think they’re pretty cool. They’re the real life inspiration for Star Trek’s hypospray. Many people would love a device like this since fear of needles is quite common.
One colleague of mine has a huge fear of needles. She basically had to be held down by four people while getting her covid shot. It was necessary, she consented to the manhandling… but a device like this would’ve made it a lot less stressful for her to get the shot.
Yep. Still have my dimesized scar
You may have just saved america.
Guns!, the cause and solution to most of America's problems.
Nah, man, the ultimate cause is always anti-black racism.
If only we actually used them as a solution.
Feuer frei!
The left needs to get on board with this. Govt isn’t going to protect you from far right militias when the shit hits the fan.
Cops aren't required to protect you from anything. Learn how to protect you and yours. And learn how to read situations, always.
They're going to pardon the militias like Wheels McGee did to that protester murderer in Texas.
Why are Americans answers to everything guns? So much paranoia and mental health issues in this country it's insane.
If you look at the one side of the political spectrum that seems to be usurping power over here, they fucking LOVE guns. It wouldnt surprise me that if they got violent, it would be armed heavily with firearms. This is the exact response i would expect from would be victims of aforementioned gun violence. in the words of my constituion and bible humping american brethren, we shall NOT BE VICTIM TO A TYRANNICAL STATE!
Well, we can't effectively ban guns. At least not in our foreseeable political future. And the people who are already armed are overwhelmingly voting to elect a fascist who likes to incite violence among minority groups.......... It's kinda easy to see why people would want to arm themselves.
I mean rapists, transphobes, bigots, and neo Nazis all now feel carte blanche freedom to do whatever they please in this country. There will absolutely be more crimes against women, LGBTQ+, minorities, and liberals. Not arming yourself against these animals is the insane thing.
What would you suggest? I have three trans friends who are making plans to move, at least for a few years, but not everyone can do that.
Look to what other countries do maybe, they don't answer every single problem with paranoia and guns.
Ok, how exactly do you think we can implement those changes in a Trump regime?
It's me, another trans who is actively applying to move out of the US. If I were staying here I'd be arming myself too even though I hate everything about guns. I've been voting, protesting, community aid, talking with people I know, building relations with my neighbors, it's all backsliding anyway. Not a lot of options left for me
People radicalized to insane culture war bullshit and irrational solipsistic oblivion cults can't really be negotiated with.
Institutions will never fix anything.
Intense atomization and alienation keep us from creating society with one another. There's no time to do anything complicated; most of us work too much. You just get home and youre exhausted.
So; gun.
Remember that step 2 is to practice!
