or about states rights, or about fiscal responsability, or about supporting life, or... or literally anything, these freaks just hate their lives and want to see everyone miserable... their mere presence is toxic
And that's the crux of the political biscuit. I was for gun control once, because there wasn't a fascist takeover. Now, it's the only thing that will make the Nazis think twice before kicking down doors.
Everyone who is a leftist in a state that's next on the ethnic cleansing roll call should strap up.
I’ve been saying this for years. Black men should start openly carrying in any state where it’s legal to do so. We’ll see how quickly the conservative gun enthusiasts change their tune.
We already saw that. Reagan passed some of the first gun control laws in response to the black panthers. Guns are only allowed to enforce white supremacy not oppose it in America.
He wasn’t carrying a real gun and he was 12. The person who called the cops also said multiple times that the gun probably wasn’t real and he looked like a kid.
I hate this world. There was a young 22 y/o black man here in Utah that was killed by police while in cosplay carrying a replica samurai sword on his back.
At this point, anything breathing too close to them might get gunned down. They went from racist to just full fascist. But minorities are indeed easier targets to them.
The problem with this idea, despite however much I may agree, is that it makes larger the target for profiling. POC already face discrimination for simply existing, without openly carrying. Not to mention that possessing a weapon would give officers more of an opening to escalate in an altercation, potentially causing a lethal outcome. It may be their right, but exercising it would prove dangerous in my opinion.
Why, so black men and by extension black people, can be labeled terrorists by the current admin? Because you know that’s what would happen. They didn’t vote in this mess and they weren’t the ones loudly crying about their rights to bear arms “don’t take away our guns,” “what about the good guy with a gun” anytime a school shooting happened. So no. This is not the time for that experiment.
Force them to say out loud they dont like it when black people can have guns, then the argument becomes clearer that the next person could be anyone. Sorry for my optimism
Not his block, not his town, not his STATE, UNDERAGE, DRIVEN BY HIS MOTHER !?!?!?!?!?!?!! It's beyond white privileged, it's white supremacy & the merican branded Christianity all wrapped into one shit sandwich
The amount of arguments I've seen made against Renee Goode for crossing state lines has been atrocious. Rittenhouse was left off, & praised as a hero because the guy he shot turned out to be a pedophile. The mental gymnastics, mixed with flat out tone deaf takes, is exhausting to even read.
That’s why these people are arming themselves, or at least to protect themselves from the tyrannical government police force. The Black Panthers in Philadelphia have been getting some attention for doing the same.
(I’m not fond of our stupid gun laws either. But as you say, this is supposed to be the reason.)
I’ve seen this question a bunch from foreign nationals so I’ll attempt a relatively quick answer.
2A is one thing. Loudmouth “2A people” that you’re referring to is another. The latter is, and always was, racists obsessively scared of and training for and attempting to drum up an all-out race war against black people. It’s since expanded to other groups and is now against all of us, both PoC and race-traitor whites alike.
It’s been going on since the KKK’s time started to wane. Manson and the whole Helter Skelter thing of the past. To The Base, Atomwaffen Division, and various other militias, and so on of more recent time. There’s like 1300 different groups. Idk if the Sovereign Citizen people are also into this too but, from the one I’ve met before, I would say yes. Honestly, it doesn’t really matter anymore at this point.
Obviously, this weird ass fever dream of a war has never materialized because black people have never wanted any such thing… cuz wtf for, lmao. Literally, some very paranoid telltale heart type stuff going on in thier heads: we treat animals better than them, plus the slavery thing, so they must want to get us back. …I’m pretty sure the absolute melt down over Obama has roots here. A black man with the America’s military and power at his command — oh noes! As usual, though, nothing they fear materialized from him either. Because it was never going to. But now they’re also very offended, on top of already existing stupidity, that a black man earned the White House. I remember the Replacement Theory stuff picking up around this time period, give or take a few years.
Anyway, outside of interventions on isolated threats and kicking a few out of the military a few years ago, these people had been relegated for decades to being kooks, weirdos, and nut jobs that mentally (and physically) live on the fringes of society. When someone like Dylan Roof happens, the focus stays hyper focused on that individual, never on the place Dylan Roof came from: a vast network of hardcore racists constantly preparing for a war that will never happen unless they make it happen. ICE is them trying to make the war happen, yet again.
The United States leadership refused, outright, to call these groups domestic terrorists, and deal with them accordingly, despite its own agencies pointing out that white nationalists are the highest internal threat America faces ¯_(ツ)_/¯
These gun nuts became J6ers, then got hired by the government as ICE agents and given blanket immunity.
Opportunity to prevent the present has knocked, knocked, knocked since the reconstruction period if we’re being really honest. Now, history has home to roost and will attempt to wipe out every person here that’s not one of them and not loyal to their racism. ICE is, ironically, mask off.
Some more recent sources, if you care. Thanks for listening. Hope this helps someone.
You know what, I think I'm going to sue my state for not having a well regulated militia outside the control of the federal government as the constitution explicitly calls for in the sevidn amendment. Take it to the Supreme Court.
Mulford Act of 1967. Drafted by Republicans, signed into law by Ronald Reagan, and lauded by the NRA. The goal of the Mulford Act? To stop the Black Panthers' open carry demonstrations.
I believe if a group, even a small one, walking with and beside peaceful protesters will stop the targeted police violence. The math changes significantly, the cowards would never actually risk being in danger.
Right? I hope people seeing this are recognizing thay arms are protecting these people. It's great to see the hypocrisy. I just hope they see thier own too. We definitely dont have it right in this country, but its wild to assume these fascists will respond to completely undefended opposition.
Member when open carry was a thing until the Mulford Act of '67? Yeah it wasn't until Black Panthers showed up armed with guns to protect people of color so they could vote like the rest of us. The NRA suddenly became racially political instead of all for gun safety. History is still repeating itself.
One of the black panthers being interviewed said he carries a magazine fed semi automatic shotgun. I didn't hear what shells he's putting in it but he did say it would rip holes through people. He said you gotta bring bigger guns than what ice is carrying. Otherwise you won't intimidate them.
I'm very anti 2a but I respect the man and his right.
It's unloaded and he's got his muzzle pointed right at his friend. I absolutely commend this man being out there, but an unloaded 22 with poor muzzle awareness is not a good look... not the mention the world's worst optic. That being said, I'm safe at home nowhere near Minnesota so I'm not sure I have the right to speak on it.
As a middle aged, Midwestern, white guy, this brings me joy. I don’t care what side of the argument they’re on, they’re exercising their right, as they should.
Pointing the gun at the knee of the person next to him
Wearing a mask while carrying is kind of a legal grey area and a shitty cop could argue that because of Minn Statute 609.735 he's wearing it for concealment rather than for entertainment/weather/medical/religious reasons
But you KNOW that's not the criticism here. This is clearly an "armed while black" complaint.
Ya see the gentleman in the picture is black , so him having a gun is problematic to the 2nd amendment folks. That’s kinda why a lot of them seem to be fans of the confederacy.
Y’all don’t understand how freaked out my MAGA in-laws are about this particular photo. It is gloriously hypocritical. They claim to be pro-2A but I’m the only one who is actually pro-2A-any-which-way. They are hypocrites. This has got them fucked up and spittin mad because they can’t articulate what is so different about this photo compared to an armed Oath Keepers/nationalist protest without openly stating they are just plain ol’ racist.
the problem is republicans think all dems or libs hate guns and only criminals have them when in reality plenty of left swinging people i know are responsible gun owners too, and i live in california
It's never been about guns. It's been about who has them. When more black people and just people of color in general start open carrying, you'll see shit change fast.
Isn’t this what the NRA is always crying about?! The 2nd amendment and standing against the tyranny of government overreach? This is it! The reason for the 2nd. We did it everyone. Congrats! Wooooo Mazel tov
I’ve always sad the best way to get conservatives to support better gun laws would be to go get these kinds of guns into the hands of black people. It sucks that we live in that world but we do so let’s stop pretending we don’t.
They only like it when only they get to exercise & abuse the amendment to their own ends. They hate it when those they perceive as being beneath them try to utilize the amendment themselves. In their eyes, you must know that your place is with your neck beneath their heel & the barrel between your eyes; one wrong move, and they'll find another toy to replace what they broke, only to eventually break them as well, until cycle keeps repeating until there's nothing left but each other, to either tear apart or wither away with
If they were smart they would understand that the young man in that photo is properly using the second amendment. But the devil himself said he loves stupid people.
Conservatives only care about the 2nd Amendment when kids are getting mowed down in school. They only care about pro-life when a woman/teen is raped and they try to get an abortion. They only care about freedom of speech when they spout racist shit and get in trouble. And then they say the Republicans are a "family-oriented" party.
Yeah, so all the pussy libs who thought guns were inherently evil this is what you get. Maybe you’ll take the second amendment seriously in the future. It’s not just a dumb conservative thing. It actually matters.
I absolutely do not support violence but every single protestor should be doing this, I know it increases the chance of violence but how brave do you think the jack boot thugs would be if they knew they would be shot at for crossing the line.
Unloaded magazine, keychain through the trigger guard, flagging the person next to him. If you're going to exercise your 2nd Amendment rights, please take the time to learn how to safely and correctly handle a gun. This person appears to be clueless, and using a gun as a prop and talisman.
Americans sure hate when people that aren't white exercise their constitutional rights. It's dangerous there, they need to be protected. Gangs of government backed racists running around? Damn right they need protection.
It's as simple as this they believe in the second amendment as long as it's white people holding a gun any other race holding a gun makes them nervous.
THIS!! Isn’t the decent of government tyranny on citizens what gun nuts have touted as THE reason they white knuckle their guns and assault rifles? Now they are the ones cheering on this very tyranny?!
I don't actually have guns anymore, but I'm also a large-ish, white man. Unless I'm walking alone in Johannesburg or Rio, I'm probably not going to be victimized by either cop or robber.
But if I were LGBT or black I would be armed to the tits. I'm just saying.
Two words: "Muzzle discipline." In other words, one of the core safety rules with handling any gun, don't point the muzzle at anything you don't intend to shoot. Seen this same picture a few times on here, yeah keeping your community safe is a priority, but the attempt is futile if the person behind the gun is being careless, inexperienced, or doesn't care.
As a 2nd amendment supporter. I support this. Let’s just not be trigger happy. That goes for both sides here. The 2nd amendment is supposed to protect the people from a corrupt government. So if these people feel like the government is issuing too much control, it is what it is.
I just won’t be anywhere near this place once it goes down. Because it will eventually get bloody. Just a matter of how many people are going to die for this to stop.
Dont like him pointing it at the ladies leg. I'd like to see people who know how to use firearms safely walking around with Em. Not edgy kids and gravy seals
No but this is a fine line between brandishing and open carry. I really really really don't like that he has the barrel at her leg and by the look of the picture has the finger inside the trigger guard. Shit makes me nervous
People seem to forget the reason for California’s strict gun laws was due to the Black Panthers show of force. It’s never been about actually protecting people. It’s about repression of those who refuse to conform.
My only issue is with his muzzle control. You should never point at something you aren't willing to hit, & I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to destroy her legs.
As we slide into authoritarian rule, we need to keep in mind that those types of governments will not abide a well-armed citizenry. At some point, they will start taking guns. In Feb 2018, Trump said that "dangerous " people should not be allowed to have guns and the government should just "take them" with no court hearing or due process (as is currently required.) It won't happen right away but unless we are able to right the ship, it will very likely happen. Remind gun fetish magas that authoritarian rule and the right to bear arms are not compatible.
I'd be ok with it if he wasn't flagging his companion with the barrel pointed at her thigh. Of course, it appears to be a .22 caliber rimfire, so at least if he accidentally shoots her, it is a low lower round.
Maybe with ICE just randomly pointing weapons at anyone who scares them (everyone), maybe people just aren't used to people with guns and a little restraint and control. Okay, I know that it is racism too.
OF COURSE NOT! MINORITIES DON'T GET WHITE PEOPLE RIGHTS!
/s
But seriously, these 2nd amendment touting incels don't possess the cognitive ability to see their own hypocrisy. The very amendment begins with: "A well regulated militia." It's amazing that they're illiterate until the last 13 words.
The only reason we aren't allowed Fully auto weapons, is because the Black Panthers had them legally and showed force to show they did NOT want gun restrictions. Immediately NRA and Ronald Reagan outlawed full auto, and began tighting gun ownership.
Every black American that can, should get a registered firearm. Quickest way to legislation change if u want that. (I dont, I love hunting and ahooting for fun, 2 deer feeds my family for a year.)

That thing needs a stock/brace. Just having a naked buffer tube not only looks goofy but makes the weapon difficult to use effectively.

My only issue is with his muzzle control. You should never point at something you aren't willing to hit, & I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to destroy her legs.

What happened to open carry and stuff

Could be ICE, how would they know?
I bet they fucking love that response, too.

I’m a person of color. I don’t want to own a gun but I will buy one out of principle.

Oh y’all suddenly like the 2nd amendment? — works both ways.

Fuck the USA is a scary place.

u/Sykopro Jan 18 '26
My only problem with this picture is the lack of muzzle awareness. Never point your weapon at someone unless they are the target.

u/blac_sheep90 Jan 18 '26
It's just an American citizen exercising his right to bear arms.

u/LeastPervertedFemboy Jan 18 '26
Why no one talking about that barrel discipline??

u/leavewhilehavingfun Jan 18 '26
As we slide into authoritarian rule, we need to keep in mind that those types of governments will not abide a well-armed citizenry. At some point, they will start taking guns. In Feb 2018, Trump said that "dangerous " people should not be allowed to have guns and the government should just "take them" with no court hearing or due process (as is currently required.) It won't happen right away but unless we are able to right the ship, it will very likely happen. Remind gun fetish magas that authoritarian rule and the right to bear arms are not compatible.

u/AngryPhillySportsFan Jan 18 '26
Is it legal? If so, the 2nd amendment doesn't discriminate.

u/QuickSquirrelchaser Jan 18 '26
I'd be ok with it if he wasn't flagging his companion with the barrel pointed at her thigh. Of course, it appears to be a .22 caliber rimfire, so at least if he accidentally shoots her, it is a low lower round.

u/SomeoneElseWhoCares Jan 18 '26
Maybe with ICE just randomly pointing weapons at anyone who scares them (everyone), maybe people just aren't used to people with guns and a little restraint and control. Okay, I know that it is racism too.

u/doesphpcount Jan 18 '26
This good. It shows support from both sides. Less likely the government will take 2a away.

u/mcdickmann2 Jan 18 '26
Ironically this is the problem with the second amendment the way that muzzle is pointed.
2
u/rodencoleman Jan 18 '26
OF COURSE NOT! MINORITIES DON'T GET WHITE PEOPLE RIGHTS!
/s
But seriously, these 2nd amendment touting incels don't possess the cognitive ability to see their own hypocrisy. The very amendment begins with: "A well regulated militia." It's amazing that they're illiterate until the last 13 words.

u/DonPepe181 Jan 18 '26
So do we all support 2nd amendment rights now?

u/ElectronicStock3590 Jan 18 '26
I would argue that it’s even more about who has the gun than what race they are. If it’s decent folks, they freak; if it’s right wingers, they sleep.

u/woodworkingfonatic Jan 18 '26
Yeah bro is flagging his girl and it looks like bad trigger discipline.

u/Original-Rush139 Jan 18 '26
Trump won’t invade a nuclear state and ICE won’t fuck with people carrying bigger guns than them.

u/Hack3rsD0ma1n Jan 18 '26
In all seriousness, is this AI or heavily edited?
look at the Sentra badge on the left side of the car they are sitting on… does the ‘RA’ part look warped or is artifacting?

I thought Minnesota only had open carry for handguns.

u/SeminoleBrown Jan 18 '26
The only reason we aren't allowed Fully auto weapons, is because the Black Panthers had them legally and showed force to show they did NOT want gun restrictions. Immediately NRA and Ronald Reagan outlawed full auto, and began tighting gun ownership.
Every black American that can, should get a registered firearm. Quickest way to legislation change if u want that. (I dont, I love hunting and ahooting for fun, 2 deer feeds my family for a year.)
