      In fact,… Coming back to this:

      The greatest example of anti capitalist, anti class oppression action in modern times happened due to private gun ownership.

      To suggest self defence gun ownership is capitalist bootlicking is completely incoherent.

      ownership is cheap, private, and a right.

      One I’m happy to argue shouldn’t be scolded away from LGBT folks because of other external concerns.

      I never “pretended” to care about human life, I differentiated the conversation to it’s root: minority group self defence.

      Square that away then we can start boiling the ocean on overall violence. But not before at risk people have their rights maintained.

              You entered a thread about “queer people who are buying guns” and decided to lecture the group on how there’s gun violence in America. The article discusses the unique motivations this and other at risk groups have, which I have echoed. You’ve decided the mentioned group is the group to lecture about gun violence, and conclude that this group should not acquire guns despite their right.

              It’s completely transparent why you are doing so, especially as you’ve provided zero discussion beyond lashing out at others.

              On this topic (their fear and vulnerability [ their words, not mine] )… In what way have you been an ally to the mentioned group? You call their legitimate fears, and expression of their rights “larping”, and attempt to shame them into obeisance by waving stats about crimes they have no intentions of commiting, deaths they have nothing to do with, in their faces.

              Despicable.

              There are legitimate times to discuss national gun violence (what’s funny is we would be in agreement there). You could even have discussed other means of comfort/stability/protection they could consider as alternatives. Anything constructive at all. But you didn’t do that, you slung mud/ guilt on an at risk group in a time of crisis, dinging talking points from the groups that seek to oppress/hunt them, like it was bingo.
