    This is why everyone who isn’t a cis hetero white Christian man absolutely needs to buy a gun and learn how to use it. It’s your job to defend yourself. (Don’t get me wrong, allies are great, and people should be helping each other against the bigots, but end of the day, you’re alone, gotta defend yourself)

    Edit: also, I’m really sorry that happened, not trying to blame the victim, just advocating for people taking their power back

      In most countries you can’t buy a gun. Then again in most places that kind of violence carries significant jail time.

      Oh fuck off. This argument only gets upvoted here when it’s specifically not for the straight white males? I can read the room and the room can go fuck itself.

      Here’s what you should have said:

      Everyone should buy a gun and learn how to use it, maintain it, secure it, and exercise restraint when you’re just mad at someone. It’s your job to defend yourself because anything can happen in the world. People should be helping each other overcome violent people.

      You don’t have to be a gun nut to have something worth protecting(like idk, your life?) and protect it.
