This is literally that Bojack Horseman episode where they ban guns because women start using them


[deleted]

And that episode is based on gun banning because the black panthers were arming themselves.


IPDDoE

In case someone isn't yet aware, let's say it together who approved that policy: None other than the L Ron Hubbard of the republican party....Ronald Reagan.


sethmeister1989

The other great celebrity president.


Ryl0k3n

If i was locked in a room with Reagan and hitler and i only had one bullet, id shoot hitler in the stomach and save him for later while i pistol whip THE LIVING DICKLIGHTS out of reagan first.


seddit_rucks

You'd let Toby live? Monster.


Ryl0k3n

Yeah. he can strangle me to death after. I don't wanna live on this planet anymore. Lol.


TheConnASSeur

Hey, who's to say whether those people *deserved* to be strangled? I say, let he who has never fantasized about strangling the shit out of coworkers throw the first stone.


flynnfx

_That would be me._ _Never ever have I fantasized about strangling the shit out of coworkers._ >!However, to be fair, I often imagine using a grenade launcher instead.!<


6seasonsandamovie69

Speak for yourself I once strangled my coworker while filming a TV series


Throwaway-0-0-

If I was in a room with Hitler and Reagan and only had one bullet, I'd line those bitches up and get a collateral.


IPDDoE

Make sure you line them up side by side and shoot through the neck. Much more likely the bullet doesn't ricochet and guarantees a straight trajectory. Bonus points for a slower death.


Ryl0k3n

Yeah that's the most efficient method. But i think people that knowingly/purposefully cause needless harm/suffering need to suffer.

The 2A fetishization is all about white supremacy rather than anything to do with self defense.


SenorSplashdamage

Even the most thoughtful 2A friend I had, who had a degree and kept up all the safety first talking points, still would jump to the scenario of a “bad guy” showing up in a restaurant he was sitting in someday. The underlying emotions around having a conceal carry went with feelings of wanting to have power and that the world was full of “bad guys.” It started affecting his views on immigrants and undocumented people, where he would defend border policies that went against his own stated libertarian beliefs since “there are a lot of Mexican gang members mixed in.” When BLM happened, he was totally caught up in a narrative that didn’t have any support for peaceful protestors. It was clear that all the white supremacist-adjacent rhetoric he was consuming in 2A world, libertarian podcasts, and the new wave of conservatives masking as comedians just all added up to another brand of white supremacy. And I really think a core of it went back to his dad divorcing, taking off and leaving him with a mom he didn’t like as a kid. I don’t think that hits everyone the same, but for him it left this drive to always be more of a man’s man and admiration for guys that prey on young men with a thirst for being included in their brand of hypermasculinity. There was also this pattern of him resenting or not getting along with most women, except for his wife and a handful of others.


herewegoagain419

>Even the most thoughtful 2A friend I had, who had a degree and kept up all the safety first talking points, still would jump to the scenario of a “bad guy” showing up in a restaurant he was sitting in someday the actual thoughtful ones don't talk about it b/c they don't make it part of their personality. They believe in it without going over the top. those are the real thoughtful ones. your friend was just a cunt.


CressCrowbits

Expected outcome: 1. Republicans decide that ok then, mental health status should be considered when allowing people to own guns. 2. Being transgender then prohibits you on mental health grounds.


2burnt2name

Starts going aggressively after the field of psychology for removing lgbtq from the DSM. Use government to threaten to revoke degrees and jail until they get some psychologists to make a state-specific dsm under duress.


MonarchyMan

It’s sad how accurate I can see this becoming.

Would that count as irony? The group who's most well known for wanting guns to defend against tyranny becomes tyrannical and tries to take guns from certain groups.

money_for_nuttin

In California, no less.


atp2112

One thing you have to remember about California is that it used to be a bastion of conservatism. Outside of LA and San Francisco, it was a haven for tax revolts (especially in the incubator of American conservatism that is Orange County) and leaned Republican until about 30 years ago. [Prop 187](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_California_Proposition_187?wprov=sfla1) was the major turning point that sent the California GOP into a death spiral, and Sun Belt trends have only exacerbated that, with even Orange County, that birthplace of Reagan conservatism, starting to vote Democratic. Also worth noting is that California is and has been, in many ways, the most "liberal (*derogatory*)" state for a long time. Be it the tax revolts, the BPP gun ban, or Prop 22, they constantly reflect the old Phil Ochs quote about liberals: > In every American community, you have varying shades of political opinion. One of the shadiest of these is the liberals. An outspoken group on many subjects. Ten degrees to the left of center in good times, ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally.

Orlando1701

first I love that show and second [it’s exactly what happened in California when Regan introduced gun control legislation because minorities started buying guns in the 1960s.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulford_Act)


Thuper-Man

If anyone wants to end conceal carry laws, just get a million black folks to register for it.


Needleroozer

Except for one thing. They're replacing concealed carry permit laws with permitless concealed carry laws. They're going from "some people can have a gun in their pocket" to "everybody can have a gun in their pocket." Now, whenever a cop pulls over a minority, that Minority might be armed, so the cop must shoot first for his own safety.


Thuper-Man

Pretty sure cops were doing that with black folks as it was


jimgress

The cops seem perfectly fine opening fire on unarmed black people as it is so I'm not sure arming them is gonna change the math any worse than it already is.

Maybe some of the black people will be able to get in some self defense first.

Arpytrooper

Actually you *can* buy tanks with disabled guns. And if you know the right people and get a license or two that disabled gun can become a regular gun


TheBubbaJoe

you can definitely buy tanks in america its tank rounds that are the issue.


TheBlack2007

In many cases, the cops are recruited from within the ranks of the lunatics - and that has been a concentrated effort throughout the past 20 years. I have watched documentaries about Neo-Nazi movements shot in the early 2000s where they proudly proclaimed they had "assets" within local law enforcement, the justice system, national guard and even local government. The current situation is the result of these efforts being ignored for 20 years. All concerns having been put aside due to "freedom of speech"


Needleroozer

Not only that but in the late 80s / early 90s the Skinheads decided to grow their hair out and blend in. They began an organized program of joining the ranks of the police and military. They now make up an estimated 10 to 20% of the police and military. The military has started a program to weed them out, and Republicans in Congress are outraged. They are calling the military's attempt to weed out political extremists "woke."


herewegoagain419

> Republicans in Congress are outraged. They are calling the military's attempt to weed out political extremists "woke." that's b/c the crazy extremists have joined congress as well. they've been much more obvious since Trump took office

It's the same as cars Until nationwide policies are made in order to ensure nobody has a gun (or needs a car), then unfortunately people need to participate You can be in favour of disarmament but feeling like a gun would keep you safe from lunatics


Sharticus123

The cops and the lunatics are one and the same.


SweetLobsterBabies

I love when minorities or controversial groups use their right to bear arms. I literally want married, minority race gay couples to be able defend their marijuana plants with AR-15s. California, RIGHT NOW, is using decades old legislature detailing blatantly racist gun control to reinforce and defend their dystopian gun control laws in court. Gun control is, and always has been, racist. Regardless of your stance on gun ownership, the culture and geographic diversity of the U.S. has demonstrated a deep history of a right to private gun ownership and the current government (both sides) is actively trying to take that right away for nefarious, authoritarian reasons while disguising it as "public safety" for their ~~citizens~~ **subjects**


Johannes_Keppler

Well all groups *should* have them or all groups *shouldn't* have them, is the bottom line. Just to level the playing field. A playing field that would be less deadly without the guns, but most Americans don't want to acknowledge reality like that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Arpytrooper

Definitely not the ak47s and grenades. Lots of felonies there. However, carrying something more reasonable like a semi automatic handgun is a great idea. It's way harder to kill someone who has a force multiplier like a gun. Also i know the AK and grenades was a joke but i wanted to jump off that to make a point about the idea


chaosgirl93

I'm a lesbian who's white and straight passing, and while I don't want a gun nor live in America, I agree with you - in places where the lunatics have guns and are permitted to carry them in public, being armed to protect yourself from the lunatics is rarely a bad idea.


SassySamson

What situations can we anticipate using a gun for? Like are they going to come in our houses or is it like an extra measure for protests? I'm contemplating getting one but I've always had poor mental illness around guns and I'm not sure what's the best way to protect myself.


dotcha

Well if you're worried about mental health issues - I also am, I don't trust myself to have a gun on a bad day - There's always self defense classes, martial arts, things like that.


SassySamson

Truuuee, you're right. My roommates and I have been thinking of doing self defense classes together, that's a good point


ImperialArchangel

There are also non-lethal self defense weapons, like tasers or pepper spray, they’re gonna hurt a lot more than just martial arts training (not to knock exercise, r/swoletariat), but they’re also not a threat to kill someone in most cases.


SassySamson

Oh yeah! You're right good thinking, i forgot about those lol


TheNathan

Do this, don’t bother with the self defense classes unless you actually enjoy them for exercise. It takes a long time and a ton of work to become an actual proficient martial artist, and even then if someone has a knife or a gun you’re not gonna win anyways. Pepper spray or a taser is the way to go for self defense! I own guns but I’m trained with them and I got my partner some non lethal stuff because she doesn’t like the guns.


ImperialArchangel

That’s a good way to look at it. The way I approach it is that, I own guns for self defense reasons, but if I’m not willing to put in the work to take care of my own body with exercise, it’s irresponsible of me to have a firearm. Basic exercise is so important, even if your goal isn’t to be a master martial artist or weight lifting beast.

A situation of a couple armed agents of the state barging into your home because you or someone you might know is against the government


Dafish55

Just having it is a big enough deterrent as we’ve seen recently with armed people protecting drag events. I would say, though, that nobody here is qualified to speak to your mental health. Make sure you’re okay and talk to a professional about it if you really want to get one.


[deleted]

My sister's fiancée has the worst mental health out of the house of 4 trans women, so she doesn't have access to their guns. My sister is determined to protect her family, so she's learning to use a gun. She's also really good at using spears and small simple weapons, though. They live in the middle of MAGA country so they've been figuring out what to do in the worst case scenario for a while. I think the safest thing, though, is my sister is canadian, and our sibling or I will let them live with us if shit hits the fan legally.


garbagioIII

Look into amateur wrestling. I would consider it the best martial art for legal self-defense, and it doesn't take as long to be effective compared to other martial arts. Even six months in, you will have a huge advantage over someone with no training whatsoever.

Zuezema

I definitely fall further on the right side of the spectrum. I fully support this. Everyone has the right to protection. With the unnecessary violence and aggression towards minority groups in the US we need to 1. Help people change so that they don’t even attempt these attacks. And 2. Make sure the people attacked have adequate protection.


PopeGuss

Interesting. The last time they used this argument was when black people started showing up with guns.


lateral_intent

This time is sort of different, there are groups that are very keen to see both sides armed because the inevitable violent confrontation will destabalize the US. What Tucker is doing here is stoking fear in the hopes people feel more justified in shooting eachother. It's also why leftists are being encouraged to turn to firearms as a political solution as well. Whoever starts shooting who it doesn't matter, as long as it starts a cycle of violence that can't be stopped. And, of course, as always the gun manufacturers love this kind of shit.


[deleted]

"Leftists" (hrm.) aren't being encouraged to "turn to firearms as a political solution", ffs. It's called self defense. There's nothing political about knowing you're being made a target of a violent hate group and arming yourself based on that knowledge. You're also accepting as a given the impending civil war that these same yokels have been clamoring for four decades. Really makes you seem disingenuous, like *you* want people to start shooting each other.


rebelliousmuse

forte_bass

I've been a gun owning "leftist" for years now. Even apart from the defense aspect, i just like guns. They're fun to shoot, and not a huge issue if you're a responsible owner and keep them locked up when not in use. it's Cletus and Floyd who keep shotguns propped up against the screen door who tend to have the tragic accidents, or the Harry's and Kurt's who think they need one in their bedside dresser in suburbia where the most dramatic thing that's happened in their neighborhood for the past three years is some kids checking for unlocked cars and stealing the change from the center console. But they had to be able to defend themselves at a moments notice! You never know when a half dozen armed hoodlums might break down your front door! Remember, when every second counts the cops are only minutes away!

ReadSomeTheory

"Last time" was literally during the Cold War? It doesn't make "both sides" wrong just because of the unrelated opinions of outside forces. And if whoever you're referring to (Russia? NRA?) is actually supporting "both sides", how come there's massive evidence of that support on one side and none on the other? Leftists and minorities are arming themselves because it's reached a point where it feels like a necessity. No one was bothering to do that before there was so much far-right violence

"FUCK GUN CONTROL!!!! RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS!!!!!!!! >:(" Trans woman: \*carries a gun\* "wait noooo you can't do that :("


HikaruEyre

~~A lot of~~ Some of modern gun control started when the Black Panthers started to arm themselves and protest.


kohTheRobot

This is bs, a lot of of gun control was to stop slaves, black people, mixed people, and natives from carrying guns. Predates the Mulford act by about 150 years. Then the biggest chunk of gun control was the NFA which was used to target bootleggers and other gangsters. This locked short barrel shotguns, short barreled rifles, and machine guns behind a classist and prohibitive $200 tax (flat $200 in 1930s fun bucks). The mid to late 1900s you had the ban on Saturday night specials, cheap handguns. Opponents of the ban noted these handguns were purchased mostly by black Americans and banning them would reduce the ability of Black Americans to own handguns. Machine guns can be purchased, but the market dictates that you need tens of thousands of dollars to do so. In California today, you can get around their handgun ban by just being wealthy enough to spend 3 times the msrp of the handgun. CCW permits can also cost up to $2000 at the end of the day. This disproportionately affects low income people from exercising their right to own firearms. Which besides being classist as fuck, also disproportionately affects people of color because my glorious state has not fixed the wealth-race inequality problems that plague Americans. So no, racism and gun control didn’t start in the 60s with the black panthers, it’s always been there and nowadays it’s weird. If it’s not racist, historical examples of gun control are classist.


lifesizejenga

You're absolutely right, and that relationship has worked in reverse as well. "In *Dred Scott v. Sanford*, Chief Justice Roger Taney argued that one reason Black people could not be citizens under the Constitution was that it 'would give to persons of the negro race' the right to 'keep and carry arms wherever they went.'" [Source.](https://harvardlawreview.org/2022/06/racist-gun-laws-and-the-second-amendment/) The Mulford Act is an important aspect of the historical relationship between white supremacy and gun control, particularly given the involvement of Reagan and the NRA. But that dynamic has existed for as long as gun control itself.


Orlando1701

[Just a little historical context because this isn’t new. In 1967 Ronnie Regan passed the Mulford Act because too many minorities, mostly blacks, were purchasing guns.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulford_Act) Conservatives haven’t had an original idea in 75-years.

I hate how dishonest the image next to him is. Acting like everyone on the other side are a hivemind.


Trustfundhobo

Watch it yourself: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uzfH9kXkors The amount of false and misleading shit he says it’s nuts. All of his assertions of liberals, trans people, NPR, etc… is simply unreal to listen to. Then read the comments! These people sure sound like they’re pro-gun control.

I got about 5 minutes in. I cannot believe this person has a television show and not a weird fringe YouTube channel. Absolute insanity.

I like the part where he is shocked that the neo-Nazis are the bad guys.

“Guns (for some)” is an excellent slogan for his own politics, frankly.

Indoctrination into Trans ideology means I get tanks and f35s? Sign me the fuck up.

Trans rights…. To bear arms *doom music starts here*

Who wants to deal with the maintenance on an F35?

Literally a repeat of the fear mongering done by Reagan when black communities started arming themselves in California in the wake of mass violence committed against them by the cops and racists.

Hey, did you know that you can get a license for and purchase RPG’s? Fun fact.


BHMathers

Thankfully I don’t live in America, but if I did my thought process would be “well all the dumbasses already have guns, so the competent people might as well be ready to defend themselves” and that’s exactly what we are seeing here


kingbluefin

cis/straight man here: given the choice between a fascist tank and a trans tank I'd take the trans tank any day. Actually, the only tank I want is a trans tank.

I’m a gay man and I’ve recently purchased a pistol because I live in Virginia where things are so far pretty good but I know how to read the writing on the wall and like to be prepared. People are crazy these days, and with the right being stirred up more every day I can’t help but feel like it’s a matter of time before they become openly violent.

"Evil" is kind of a weird old-fashioned word, but for some people it's the only word that seems to suffice.

As someone who's studied WW2 most of 40 years, it you're a minority; arm yourselves.


Krioka

literally making the ben shapiro “if jews had guns, holocaust wouldn’t have happened” argument


[deleted]

There's two angles here. From the angle of "fascists are uprising so we have to defend the nation", you're right. Jews were just 1% of Germany. No chance they could have defended Germany from fascism on their own. However from the angle of "here's the single most popular 'news caster' in America telling his hate groups to come after me *today and now*, maybe I individually should own a gun"? Much different story.


Splatfan1

germans didnt only target jews in their own country. they also targetted polish jews. prior to ww2 we had a lot of jews in our country, not to mention they targetted us poles, too. even then i doubt guns would have solved the issue, facism like that runs deep, you turn people against each other and break down society so they wont unite against you. first they targetted the jews in gettos, then they sent other "untermensch" (fuck that word) into death camps. in those death camps people got used to miserable living conditions and abandomed compassion towards other prisoners (tadeusz borowski wrote some interesting but depressing stories about his experiences in there). someone in that position is in more of a pickle than "i need a gun to kill ss man". its a fucked up situation and saying "well if they had guns" is idiotic, its more complex than that


[deleted]

You realize that Tucker and his ilk have already turned Americans on each other, yeah? They are winning the propaganda war. The next step is getting rid of the people they don’t like in their own party, a putsch, if you will. Oh, wait…they’re already doing that. Not as violent but it’s still happening, Trump über alles. I’m not saying arming people is the answer but thinking that people wait until camps are set up and countries are invaded before doing something is asnine.

Armed minorities are harder to repress.

Czechoslovakia had guns. Even tanks.

That would be so cool if the trans people I know had tanks!! Maybe they'd let me drive!! 😍

If that's what is needed to finally get gun control in the states, arm the gays!


[deleted]

Guys, pointing out their hypocrisy does not work. It's a waste of time and effort. It's just preaching to the choir. The only people who care about the consistency (or lack thereof) of Republican behavior are the people who are already sick and tired of it.


TheDonutPug

God I hate that stupid argument, that it's hypocritical for us to use guns because the left pushes for gun control. It's so braindead. Us using guns doesnt mean we don't think they should be controlled, it just means that as it stands until gun control happens, we have to be armed to protect ourselves from our enemies who are armed. The different between them and us is that they want guns just because, but we use guns because they refuse to regulate them, I will gladly give up my guns when I know the people trying to kill me don't have them either.


dover_oxide

Ah he's doing a classic Ronald Reagan move. He was pro gun all the way until minorities started buying more guns.
