Since Trump’s election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

    It’s not disingenuous in any way shape or form. You have basically said that children killed in gang shootings don’t matter. Try not to throw right wing shade around when you’re parroting their racist talking points about which people do and don’t matter.

    It absolutely is.

    https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/24/health/drowning-water-safety-swimming-children-wellness

    Drowning is the leading cause of death in children ages 1 to 4, and after motor vehicle accidents, it is the second leading cause of death attributed to unintentional injuries among kids ages 5 to 14.

    Gang violence is not a gun issue. It’s a educational, safety nets, and jobs issue. Aka social issue that doesn’t magically get corrected because you banned guns.

    Also GTFO with the racist shit. I’m a minority and it’s a dog whistle for you to say “the facts don’t matter, cause it’s racist”. Shit doesn’t get better when you deflect like that. Tough conversations are required to solve tough issues.

    Lmao, bruh, it’s this niche little exercise called swimming, you might have heard of it. Try and pull your head out of your ass before pointing us to all the examples you have where ICE has been stopped by people with guns.

    We’re not at the start mill ICE phase yet. We still have judges blocking shit. You don’t start a civil war just because shit is getting bad.

      Omg, so the US is the only country that ever experienced a lack of jobs?

      Oh no! How I could be so stupid and forget that the US is a unique special snowflake child that doesn’t experience any of the same pressures of literally any other country on earth!

      Grow the fuck up amerocentric child.

        Way to ignore the other parts… I can see reading comprehension is not a strong point of yours.

        Oh no! How I could be so stupid and forget that the US is a unique special snowflake child that doesn’t experience any of the same pressures of literally any other country on earth!

        Considering that we lack most of what the other western countries provide for their citizens…yea we are unique.

        Grow the fuck up amerocentric child.

        Assuming you’re not even American at this point…stay in your own lane, our issues are not magically yours.

          I’m Canadian, where 90% of illegal guns are smuggled up from the US.

          Your mess is fully in our lane.

            You have very few guns being snuggled into CA. It’s probably less than 2k a year considering the number caught at the boarder is under 1k. You’re issues of gun crime which is hilariously low and on par with euro states is not a major issue. Our mess is not in your lane at all.

              Shut the fuck up. Literally almost all of the guns used to kill people here come from your fucking shit hole embarrassment of a country.

              Don’t minimize our issues because you shit your pants every fucking day and pretend like it’s normal.

              Gun ownership is a cancer on society, and America is becoming a fucking cancer on the world. Clean up your own fucking mess, and stop encouraging people to do the gun equivalent of literring because you’re a cowardice wreck. Use your guns to oppose your oppressive government, or shut the fuck up about guns being a necessity to oppose government oppression.

              Hungary has kept Orban in check through just showing up in the streets, but Americans think they’re special snowflake children who need point and click murder machines they won’t use to enact change. It’s a fucking embarrassment.
