I like not being a gringo.

I like living in a normal country.

I like living in a country that's not controlled by a cabal of pedofiles.

[–] aldhissla@piefed.world 3 points 40 minutes ago

Ok to points 1. and 2.

But where is this Shangri La you speak of?

COPY/PASTA

In the US we have the Second Amendment. The fascists have been the ones screaming and yelling about the Second Amendment, but the truth is that all Americans have the right.

Owning a gun isn't enough. Driving to Cabela's and picking up a vermin killing .22 rifle is not enough. You should buy a proper rifle, a pistol, and a knife or baton. (Bonus points for a shotgun) Then you need to train with said rifle, pistol and knife/baton. Go to a range and shoot. Look for local self defense/hand to hand combat with a weapon classes and train.

I am not advocating for violence...far from it. But I am advocating for knowledge because owning a weapon and not knowing how to use it is a recipe for disaster.

PS: If you can afford it, buy suppressors and/or active hearing protection. Especially for your rifles. Suppression for the common citizen isn't about stealth like in the movies, it is about protecting your hearing. Guns are LOUD. Much louder than you expect. Suppressors might be out of reach for most but quality active and passive hearing protection is not.

Familiarity is important, training will save your life.

Get an IFAK and go to a stop the bleed class https://www.stopthebleed.org/

If you’re currently versed in Firearms and are able to start a chapter, or if you are lucky enough to live in an area with a local chapter the SRA is a good organization. However they are apparently fractured and their politics may not align. https://socialistra.org/

https://www.blazingsword.org/ is better for LGBTQ+ anarchists that tend to not get along with Tankies.

A more decentralized option could be a John Brown Gun Club https://www.counterextremism.com/supremacy/john-brown-gun-club

Good basis of organized tactics. The guide below is more about organized movement than direct fire. Below will NOT help you in a firefight as it relies on a much larger trained force than you are likely to have. Good to know what the bastards study though. https://www.trngcmd.marines.mil/Portals/207/Docs/TBS/B2F2837%20Rifle%20Squad%20Tactics.pdf?ver=2015-05-27-100939-710

It really is a damn shame suppressors are illegal in California.

[–] French75@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 hours ago

It's moronic. We demand lower noise in most products, but demand higher noise in guns because we can't distinguish Hollywood bullshit from reality. I think most CA Dems would accept the premise that reducing injurious noise levels while participating in a legal activity is a good idea, but institutionally they'd never give an inch on gun laws.

[–] frank@lemmy.fraxoweb.com 10 points 6 hours ago

Doomed if you do. Doomed if you don't. So might as well be a man and do what you believe in.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

Who you gonna shoot? I'm serious. Stalin was a bankrobber. Haitians drove Napoleon's army into the sea with machetes. The Black Panthers took several pigs off roll-call. What's your plan, revolutionary?

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 32 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

Im not american but hopefully nobody. Their whole rationality for having guns everywhere all the time is that if everyone has a gun nobody needs a gun.

We, the rest of the world, think its a stupid idea, but if the government is literally killing people in the streets and declaring the murderers as heroes, its not looking so daft.

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 2 points 40 minutes ago

They use the same rationale for international security. If everybody gas nuclear bombs, then nobody needs them. It's insane doomsday evangelism dressed up as a debate club argument.

[–] Pixel_Jock_17@piefed.ca 11 points 7 hours ago

For the first time in my life I have considered a gun. I agree with your comment, it's typically something I don't need or want. I don't want my neighbours to want them or need them.

But here we are and it's terrible.

[–] seathru@quokk.au 13 points 7 hours ago

Simply being prepared for the worst is a plenty fine plan. Just, actually be prepared, don't just buy a gun and expect to know how to use it proficiently when the need arises.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

I believe that I can go to the store and purchase a sense of security. Once I own a gun, I can indulge in revolutionary fantasies that aren't complicated by material conditions.

Safety is just another thing we've commoditized. No need to struggle against my own alienation or form coalition with my neighbors.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

You all have guns, don't see anyone using them but the popo? Way to stand against an aggressive state, eh!

Fun fact! If you've ever been involuntarily committed to like a psychiatric hospital you're barred by Federal law from owning firearms! Some kinds of emergency and temporary holds are okay, but yeah because my wife had technically gotten involuntarily committed years ago before we met because she couldn't make it to the hospital safely for it to be voluntary she can't have them at all and it's unclear if I'd be able to with my own history of mental health issues

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, that whole second amendment thing turned out to be the joke we all thought. I've never known a nation to just roll over and take it as much as this bunch. They're pathetic and their overlords obviously know it.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Or, and hear me out here, we're really trying to not give dipshit the ammo he needs to deploy the military against us. Because when that happens, it's game over.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

So the Second Amendment is indeed redundant then.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world -4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I just need a few Barrett m82s for squirrel hunting... It's my right!

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Maybe to make squirrel puree, if you can even hit the lil fella with that cannon
