I don’t want to be “that guy” but now is the time to stock up.

    Yeah, that’s the prime sign. Everyone who’s trans and does not have ideations should buy a firearm right this instant before they can’t.

    Remember, kids: do not let them take you quietly.

      I appreciate the qualifier of not having ideation. I’m not trans but I do have suicidal ideation and decided that gun ownership would be a bad idea.

      Edit: gun ownership for me would be a bad idea.

        Yeah, one cannot defend themselves from external threats if they can’t defend themselves from their own brain. But you can always push a friend who doesn’t have any ideations to defend you if necessary.

        I’m in the same boat. These days I feel like it’s mostly under control but occasionally a bad day happens and if I had the means … Well, it doesn’t take much effort to pull a trigger and I know it.

        I’ve decided the best way I can support and help should violence erupt is to cultivate other skills, like learning some EMS skills or having a garden. Still learning but I think those things might ultimately be more helpful than the gun anyway.

          Yeah, it’s better now for me than a few years ago but I still have those thoughts from time to time.

    Right, but nothing about the other 20+ shootings that were done by white men. Those guys can have as many guns as they want.
