Dude, an AR-15 is not all guns. Go buy a shotgun. They're supposed to be better for home defense anyway if you're that scared of a break in. Or buy a sword. A person swinging a sword around while screaming at you is much scarier than a dude with a gun.
This bit right here is where the disconnect in viewpoints lies, and is why so many people respond to aggressively-pro-gun views with incredulity. The gun control side of the argument generally believes that the idea of self defense or heroics with a gun is a power fantasy, not something that has any chance whatsoever of working or succeeding.
In a world where gun ownership is the norm (especially one without background checks), KKK/ neonazi fucks are at least as likely to be carrying as their potential victims, and are likely to be organized at least a little. no crime was prevented, things just involved more bullets.
Similarly for mass shootings: You're in a shopping mall. someone decides to light the place up. five guys pull out rifles wanting to be helpful. guys three through five don't know which distressed man with a gun was originally the aggressor. neither do the bystanders praying for their lives, and neither do any law enforcement agents that become involved. chaos ensues.
Then moving beyond random hate crimes and looking at institutional racism or any other variety of tyranny, between police forces, intelligence agencies, and the armed forces, any kind of armed rebellion would be smothered barring a widespread mutiny of some kind from government forces.
that's why people see this as valuing toys over valuing the lives of innocents.
tariffs are definitely happening now. John Bolton was in the oval office today so we might all die soon. George Nader, UAE adviser who was at the suspicious Seychelles meeting with a Putin ally and Erik Prince, was picked up by the feds on the way to Mar-a-Lago 6 weeks ago and is cooperating with Mueller
How is that possible? He's extreme left and does not share Texas values.
Cindi isn't a troll, this is what she genuinely believes. Honestly you guys are too quick to think someone is a troll because they have an outlier viewpoint.
Or just skip all that and buy this.
If it's good enough for Chinese peasants, it's good enough for you!
I don't have Twitter (and I'm lazy) but someone should dredge up some of the greatest hits from Twitler at the time Nader was nabbed
I think it's a defense mechanism. The idea that its an honest opinion is horrifying.
It's not a different viewpoint she's literally ignoring a bunch of facts on purpose. If it's real, it's literally delusional. Like, extremely worryingly not normal.

Maybe I'm just weird (probably), but I find collecting stuff like this way more fun than guns. The great thing about the 2nd Amendment is that it actually doesn't say anything about guns, just owning weapons. Even if somehow guns got banned entirely, it doesn't really infringe on your right to bear arms since you can still get non gun weapons.
You say this like you're someone unaware of the past decade of political discourse in this country. "The birther guy" is President.
If you've got Twitter it's probably worth posting a pic of it on there, and maybe tagging in a friendly celebrity to help spread the word.
So let's join the one that's actively, proudly, and all but painting a fucking floor plan of [their plans regarding] fucking you in the ass?
"What she genuinely believes" is a raging trash fire.
"Who is disarming minorities?" Who is doing absolutely fuck all to prevent literally every form of policy to the left of the fucking Tulsa riots from being implemented? Who shrugged their shoulders when Castle got murdered by a cop? Who is actually disarming minorities here?
"Who voted more for the Civil Rights Act?" Boy it sure doesn't matter that the same voter base electing the Southern Democrats swung mostly to the party you just joined!
Another reason I'm leaving the party: that is how democrats treated me when I expressed that I want a gun for self defense despite rising hate crime. They say,"Black trans women are among the most vulnerable people in America" in one side of their mouth while saying I'm foolish and retarded worthy of mockery for wanting arms to defend myself in other side. They are clearly full of shit.
Clearly, both parties hate me. At least one party is honest about it. So I might as well vote any way I want, acquiring true freedom.
Its primarily a reaction to elections and what followed
Seems like a stretch seeing how they were a presenting sponsor at CPAC and tried to cover it up.
It just seems like a troll because the person is strangely knowledgeable about some things, but then somehow doesn't know that the consitutencies that voted for the CRA switched parties after 1964 or that Republicans have tried to pass laws that chill protests. Like, come on, sis, we see you.
I'm pretty sympathetic toward black folks that believe that they need guns for protection from the state, but a) Philando Castle just got extrajudicially murked for supporting his 2A rights, and the NRA was like "Oh well, bruh" with a Kanye shrug at the end of that sentence. That gun won't save you.
Also b) the U.S. Government has the drones and missiles to murk you right now, and your little AR-15 ain't protecting shit in a war against the government, but you go on ahead with that line of thinking.
I'm an "end the 2A, leave gun rights up to the states" advocate, but I don't typically give a shit about people wanting guns. Just don't lie to yourself about how little that will do anything for you as a black person.
But the whole thing reads like someone on the internet pretending to be black because they think it'll help give their arguments some weight, tbh.

You don't have to be correct to genuinely believe in something. Do you think every Republican is a troll just doing it to stick it to the libs and that none of them really have convictions about whatever?
I promise you Cindi is genuine and has legitimate reasons for her heel turn. I don't agree with her logic at all but you cant stop this sort of thing from happening if you just dismiss it out of hand.
Because weapons like this have cultural and historical value. An AR-15 is a hunk of metal shat out by a factory, with no value aside from its ability to kill.
You used pre-southern strategy Democrats in your justification. You're not acting rationally.
Those people that hate the LGTB are most likely not democrats so what is your point? It seems to me that you are just looking for excuses to vote republican. It's not about guns, it's about culture. You probably are a conservative and feel like our culture is too progressive and want that stopped.
Also since when did we want the First Amendment to apply to the private sector?
Anyone know a site that will do the texas primary numbers live?
Nevermind: https://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/texas-primary-election

No one actually believes that right? It's the single most transparent post made on this forum in weeks.
As another trans person of color I fully support your right to defend yourself and I would never mock you for it. Are guns really the best way to defend yourself though?
Well that's confusing -- who voted him into office then?
lol
I'm really really sorry, but this is the funniest thing I've read all day. Again, I'm sorry and I hope the hat is found.
It's actually quite normal, sadly. At least, normal enough that I'd wager about half the country shares her viewpoint. The inability to think logically and critically seems fairly widespread. Contrarianism gets confused with thinking for yourself.
