      I mean rapists, transphobes, bigots, and neo Nazis all now feel carte blanche freedom to do whatever they please in this country. There will absolutely be more crimes against women, LGBTQ+, minorities, and liberals. Not arming yourself against these animals is the insane thing.

      If you look at the one side of the political spectrum that seems to be usurping power over here, they fucking LOVE guns. It wouldnt surprise me that if they got violent, it would be armed heavily with firearms. This is the exact response i would expect from would be victims of aforementioned gun violence. in the words of my constituion and bible humping american brethren, we shall NOT BE VICTIM TO A TYRANNICAL STATE!

      What would you suggest? I have three trans friends who are making plans to move, at least for a few years, but not everyone can do that.

        It’s me, another trans who is actively applying to move out of the US. If I were staying here I’d be arming myself too even though I hate everything about guns. I’ve been voting, protesting, community aid, talking with people I know, building relations with my neighbors, it’s all backsliding anyway. Not a lot of options left for me

          1 a republican in office l so we can’t count on any law changing for the better. 2 even if we did reform gun laws the these people won’t give them up. A lot of them won’t even save their own children from disease
