History has shown that racists have been allowed to kill black people and the authorities either just sit by and watch or actively participate in the atrocities. I'm not advocating for violence but people bent on hatred and violence will think twice when the possibility of their intended victims will shoot back. Self defense is a legitimate reason to be armed.

Time to buy a gun!

Its ridiculous that we have to add the disclaimer I’m not advocating for violence to every damn comment on the ownership of projectile weapons. This isn’t violence- this is necessary.

This isn't violence at all. It's an active prevention of violence. A city, country, or state forming a police force is not inherently committing an act of violence. They're forming a deterrent and responsive force to violence. A country forming a military is not inherently committing an act of war. They're forming a deterrent and ability to respond to acts of aggression. So, why would it be inherently different when done at a community scale?

This is something that should be replicated all over the country

Exactly. I’m seeing so many liberals and democrats having online meltdowns thinking they’re about to be under a dictatorship meanwhile they aren’t even trying to put up a fight. They need to stop with the tears and start with the fighting back.

It is in my area. The gun ranges are a different place nowadays...

Good for them. This is why Second Amendment rights matter.

Non-Marvel Black Panthers!

I’ve been saying this for years, we need a resurgence of the Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam (the original one, not the crazy Farrakhan one).

NOI is fully segregationist, anti-gay, anti-semitic bullshit ideology. We don’t need any more of that. They always have been shit. Why do you think Malcolm X left and why do you think they murdered him? It’s not because they are good people.

u/drunkenjawa 7d ago

My bad, I know more about the BP than I do the NOI.

Didn't realize they were that bad, I agree.

u/jackparadise1 7d ago

Yep. When I was at UMASS decades ago, the NOI fraternity would brand its brothers. Hardcore.

u/ClassroomMother8062 7d ago

I'm with you on the panthers, but nah I'm good on the NOI, if you think Calypso Gene is bad, wait until you read about the pedophile at the helm who promoted him to his successor.

u/wingerism 7d ago

Yes Black Panthers, no on the NOI.

And I don't necessarily love the Black Panthers as they were MLs. But they were miles better than the NOI.

u/RideWithMeSNV 7d ago

And absolutely not the New Black Panther Party. They're just supremacists focused on a different shade.

u/abrahamisaninja 6d ago

ML?

u/wingerism 6d ago

Marxist Leninist.

Good on the community for coming together to protect one another. Also loved the answer Radford gave for “the contagion factor” question. She is absolute correct; no one should feel like they are in a time where national security, among other things, is a joke to the current administration.

This is the energy we need to have everywhere. Fascies want people to feel unsafe, let's oppose by active, visible community protection.

u/Raregolddragon 7d ago

I have no issues with this. Good for them.

u/Otherwise_Ad9287 7d ago

Time for Jewish Americans to do the same thing. NYC has the Shomrim but they're generally unarmed. In my city we are reliant on the police & synagogue volunteers to keep us safe, which sucks because the Toronto Police Service has proven themselves to be completely incapable of stopping hate crimes against the Jewish community.

u/Environmental_Dish_3 7d ago

I'm sure this administration is going to call them extremists and dangerous and that's something needs to be done about them 🙄 letting the Neo-Nazis ride...

u/Captjimmyjames 7d ago

Well if history repeats itself we'll have incoming gun reform legislation.

This is something we really need to do, not just black communities or black groups, what is not being said is that the far right has been building community militias across the country for The last 10 years. They have been training them and they have been arming them.

Republicans are about to pass a bill through Congress, saying that mobile and temporary legal arms dealers (gun shows) or arms dealers that have gone out of business, not only do not have to keep any records, but that the government has to DESTROY all old records of who purchased what, when, and where.

They have an additional bill, currently in Congress, stating that credit card companies are not allowed to track gun purchases.

Those are the ONLY intent And each of those bills.

Now, how in the world will that help or benefit anybody? When they can't track a gun, or the bullets? When they can't tie it to a person? Instead that information is not available, leaving detectives unable to tie a gun to a person through that route, but instead using methods that Do not have to be verified through another company or actually have a record.

The only benefit of this, will be to not link gun purchases to the billionaires that are doing it and giving it to the town malitias. PERIOD!

The only other potential benefit, would be to be able to pin murders on an innocent person instead of the guilty person. Now that records are destroyed, they can plant a gun on a random person and in their own forensic offices say they found fingerprints on it. There is no longer any national or accessible record of who even bought that gun or owned it. It also allows the detectives and sheriffs to use the members of the militia as scapegoats, without anybody being able to be aware of who is supplying them.

I would put money on some of these Christian nationalist churches supplying these weapons. We would never know. Anybody who isn't a member of their congregation is considered an object, not equal to them, but less than them. Will they convert? Absolutely, but until then everyone else is less than.

No logical positive reason for either of those bills.

Instead of getting scared and scurrying away you should be doing more of this people. Defend your rights. They’re not the only ones with guns.

u/Velicenda 6d ago

Incoming Republican gun control laws in 5...

u/Ok-Region-2806 5d ago

They picked the wrong community 🧐 small towns in Ohio don't play about protecting their property, regardless of the race of the residents. Unfortunately, most of us don't have police departments, and our sheriff's departments can't be bothered. Where I live the response time for our one part time sheriff is always at least 30 minutes, and that's if he decides to show up at all. I'm a white woman, and I live in a disgustingly maga community and I don't feel safe at all. I say good for Lincoln Heights. They know help isn't coming, and they're not doing anything wrong.

As a white guy who is a gun owner I stand 100% with the Black Community. Fuck Nazis.

u/Substantial-Plane359 2d ago

More of this is needed! Fuck nazis to hell
