We need to invite the Black Panthers to come to our communities and teach us how to use guns and methods of protesting. They have been doing it for years and have the experience. This is the first time in my life that I am thinking about getting a gun now that it is obvious the Govt is the enemy.
I hope we do not see a repeat of the 2020 Summer of Love (I know that’s a chud phrase I’m trying to #TakeItBack) where things build to a fever pitch but ultimately peter out. I do like seeing the libs get radicalized, or at least get woke, in real time.
I think it is super common among people like this to see firearms as some inscrutable beast with its own agency, rather than a tool they can read the instructions for. And they think then the only way to uncover their mysteries is to be initiated into the secret cult of knowledge by some chud NRA instructor or mil/LEO. Or in this case, organized Black Marxists to come and save them.
Point is I wish these wokifying libs knew that they could actually help themselves. And that the success of the Panthers is not rooted in protesting, but the very un-sexy work of community organizing.
What Rebecca would really benefit from, IMO, is someone to tell her that she can teach herself:
4 rules of firearm safety
load & make ready, unload & show clear. dis-/reassemble & maintenance.
basic marksmanship
weapon handling, draw/reholster a pistol, using a long gun with the aid of attached sling
movement, basic drills
instructional resources for further reading
Now this (well intentioned and consciously self-developing) lib will have taught themselves everything they hoped to learn and they didn’t have to spend a penny with chuds who want them violated or waiting for a cadre to come and teach them to stand on their own two feet.
And once thus empowered, realize that this didn’t actually create a revolutionary movement and they have to go out and talk to their neighbors
I assume you are asking clarification for the last part? A long arm is simply a long barreled weapon like a rifle or a shotgun, and a sling is attached to it to allow you to carry it hands-free on your body, aid in weapon retention if get jostled while holding it, and can also be utilized as a ‘hasty sling’ by wrapping it around your support arm to aid in aiming.
I didn’t take this in a bad way but I wanted to respond, I don’t think this is a “be the change you want to see” situation. The kind of thought process the OP on bsky is going through is something we’re going to see more of and something we saw a lot on 2020. So I meant less that “someone outta go tell her” but rather that when, not if, we encounter this in our own circles we can engage constructively.

What’s that?

So go tell her.

unfortunately she has since posted about taking a potentially permanent break from social media
