I’m not a big fan of guns, but I do love when marginalized people arm themselves
Marginalized people like literally anyone who might encounter the police in the US.
Same. It’s telling that Reagan supported Gun Control when it was the Black Panthers advising people to arm themselves. Even the NRA got in on the action.
Tell that to the 2a literalists who conveniently omit the entire opening - A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State.
We do not have a well regulated militia. Weapons are used to terrorize the people of these free states. Fuck
hmm, so we can campaign for queer and black people arming themselves, and worst case scenario we get gun control?
why are we not doing this?
Because it’ll be gun control done in such a way that marginalized communities like lgbtq+ and bipoc will be the ones who can’t get guns.
The fuck does that title even mean…
I interpret is as ‘people buy guns’…that’s it. The heck does ‘the right’ have to do with it. And why narrow it down to the alphabet soup. It’s just people…people bought guns. People go to the gun range. Gah I’m so sick of everything being these little fuck groups of individuals. We’re all human, stop micro labelling groups if you want unity. So sick of it all. Left, right, LGBTIQW, blacks, whites, boomers, genz…it’s all sickening.
Divide and conquer (or something like that). And it works ^^’
The title is denoting that there was a rise in gun ownership among people who are not straight. What it has to do with the right is that gun ownership has always been a very common thing among that group, whereas it has not been common among the left and people who are not straight. It is pointing out a change in the status quo by juxtaposing the groups historical interests.
They didn’t use “People buy guns” as the title because that title doesn’t tell you the objective point of what the article is about and could mean too many other things.
I agree that in a perfect world where humanity is unified, we wouldn’t need such labels and could just use “people” for stuff like this, but it isn’t the world we live in right now unfortunately and the context is important to this specific articles content. When it’s possible to not use labels though, I agree, we shouldn’t.
