#anti gun laws

[the-amazing-spider-bi]

sorry but Jaime Lannister’s characterisation is so funny to me. yes I tried to kill your eight year old but I draw the line at paying people to do my killing for me. you better believe if I want a third grader dead I will do the child murder myself. preferably with a sword so I can look him in the eye while he dies by my blade

#lawful evil ass guy #actually nobody did lawful evil like him #pre character development I guess #jaime lannister #asoiaf #acok #Léa reads asoiaf #Léa talks #got #something something that post that’s like Jaime lannister would be anti gun but for unhinged reasons. like if you want someone dead you #should be able to best him in combat without a coward’s weapon

There are tens of thousands of them, these figures cited are much too low. Further these groups often overlap; III%ers, Patriot Prayer, Proud Bois, Boogaloos, Klan, Atom Wagfen, Aryan Nation, Posse Comitatus, Sovereign Citizens, Hutaree, Idaho/Pensylvania/Texas, New York Light Foot Militias, Ohio Defense Force, Michigan/Montana/Missouri Militias, Army of God, and many, many more.

I think it’s so funny seeing Jason Todd stans try to rationalise extrajudicial murder. Like if you think Jason taking on the role of judge, jury and executioner is an adequate way of getting rid of crime good for you but I refuse to take that notion seriously

#like for all intents and purposes he’s basically a cop #I saw a post saying how gotham citizens see red hood as being more effective than batman and I had to restrain myself from responding #ppl did not trust batman when he first came unto the scene it’s only when they saw that he was working within the law and advocating for- #goons to give up crime and turn their lives around that ppl became less distrusting of him #imagine if Batman came onto the scene guns blazing and killing everyone he deemed to be a criminal the gcpd would have had him put down #dc comics #Jason Todd #anti jason todd

europe is so interesting. they treat me like a cute kid, backpacking across europe at age 21. the next second they ask me why i'm responsible for gun violence in the united states.

#it's just so irritating #after my first night out in barcelona i introduced myself as peruvian exclusively #bc fjweiaofjreaogehw #they care sm abt american ex-pats gentrifying lisbon #(which is a problem) #but they don't care about literally any of the other clear as fucking day problems in their continent #i introduced myself as american #(texan moving to californian) #and then asked for my opinions on anti-queer laws; pro-gun laws; and why i still 'support' the country #i just happen to live therefjewiaofjreioag #this one parisian thought that we never learned abt the renaissance like #how much do u wanna bet they never learned abt any usa renaissances (harlem; french language rebirth in louisiana; etc) #cw: gun violence mention #gun #gun mention #so at least now i know i can't live in europe long-term #dash rambles #tonight is a night to think abt my spain speed-run #and then move on to portugal where hopefully they understand me #if it weren't for the tourism (english-speakers) i would've been in trouble in barcelona bc catalan doesn't sound as spanish-y as it reads

Apas-95 doing posts about how they are right about what it takes to train with firearms and getting workers military training while having never shot a gun in their life is really funny. What's kind of less funny is that they openly encourage people to commit felonies that would land any leftist training group in jail for 20+ years and bar them from ever handling firearms again. If they aren't an idiot they're a cop.

(tags are important I just wrote too much there and don't want to copy it here)

#Saying that your leftist training group should pool their money to buy arms and store them as a collective #is insanely illegal and the perfect way to speedrun going to jail #Also most states have really strong anti militia laws that criminalize training as a group #like theyre so strong milsim airsoft groups have gotten charged #Which is why all public facing leftist Gun Posting Does Not Involve That Because It Is Illegal #People aren't posting battle drills bc they love individual gun ownership and the idea of shooting someone trying to steal their TV #it's because it is incriminating and will get them watched by feds #Apas' whole post is just encouragement to get your crew killed by cops or arrested #My other favorite post by them is when they were Authoritatively talking about how easy guerilla warfare against drones is #And they said all you have to do to take military drones offline was to shoot their radio tower #And uh. Pretty much all mil drones are either autonomously controlled within units by radios carried individually or satellites #It is kind of concerning to see people just make shit up to sound smart about fairly serious topics like that just for clout #it's nothing if not an indication that someone will happily lie to make themselves seem more competent at the expense of their comrades

so booker's worldview is amatonormative

it just is :)

oh look some sources from a cosmopolitan article by SOPHIA MELISSA CARABALLO PIÑEIRO:

"Amatonormativity also suggests that romantic relationships are more important than other platonic relationships like with your friends, family, and coworkers."

Which is backed up by the person who coined the term, Elizabeth Brake (I adore her for theorising this): "The belief that marriage and companionate romantic love have special value leads to overlooking the value of other caring relationships." :)

booker: "you two always had each other”

which is 1) factually incorrect my dude and 2) implies that being in a mutually exclusive romantic relationship negates all of nicky and joe's suffering with losing family, friends, quynh, racism, homophobia, their homes.... the list really goes on! and say it with me: that's amatonormative.

so don't tell me that 'romance normativity' has nothing to do with booker's comment to nicky and joe because it definitely does. I am being more firm in this interpretation: booker's worldview is amatonormative because he sees nicky and joe's romantic relationship as absolving them from all other pain.

#I have a whole lengthy post about it but after finding someone likely vagueblogging about it??? #you want to test me??? #anti booker #the old guard #yes I'm salty #full guns out #amatonormativity #I was trying to find more anti booker apologism and accidentally stumbled upon a vague post about myself which hi #I'm a law and humanities student arguing is basically my job :)

The problem is the US. It’s its founding as a settler-colonial enterprise. The US is war and mass slaughter. The US majorly funds war abroad and police war at home.

Imperialism must be opposed. Colonialism must be opposed. White nationalists must be removed from all power and the US itself must be overturned. Nothing else is a solution.

gun is not a garbage human. garbage could house a family of raccoons and raccoons are one of the most precious creatures on this planet. gun is a stagnant stretch of swampified field next to an f rated waste disposal factory, so toxic you're lucky to find any kind of deformed, mutated insect to call his stanky ass corners a home.

Every time I hear about a shooting in Texas I suffer a moment of fear for all of my family members down there.

Over the last two weekends there have been two mass murders in Texas.

Which city was it this time? What town? How far is that from my family in Austin, Dallas, and Houston?

Could my sister be out shopping at that mall? Could the gunman at large be hiding in my other sister’s neighborhood?

Every time I hear about another mass shooting, I have to immediately Google the location to figure out how close my family members are. With my heart choking my throat, I text and call to be sure they’re okay. My family in Texas must be sick of getting my frantic messages by now.

Not all mass murders are committed in Texas. Just more than any other state, and—shocker—their gun laws are debatably the most lax of any state.

And yet my family in Texas all continue to vote for the corrupt politicians, owned by the NRA, who support the proliferation of guns in Texas and throughout our country.

God forbid my sisters and other Texan relatives vote for a Democrat—because a liberal might not share all of their beliefs. My family members down there would never vote for the “other team,” even though their lives—and the lives of their children—are put at risk by voting for the jackals they think are on “their side.” Party loyalty has become more important than getting fair and moderate legislation accomplished.

Part of it is denial. My family members refuse to believe there is any correlation between the way they vote and the increasing threat of being randomly murdered where they live. They’ll claim that they’re safer in Texas (with their guns to protect them), than I am, where I live up north. They might even find some warped statistics drawn from misapplied data to back up their claims—this is how they rationalize against the obvious.

My family somehow believes the worst Republican in office is better than the best Democrat. To them, the corrupt Republican is still the lesser of two evils. It’s a compromise, you see. Yes, they want their Republican leaders to vote for reasonable gun laws—but they know that’s unlikely. Too bad. You just can’t trust any politicians.

That’s another part of the mythology that keeps this insanity going. Rather than switching their vote (a prospect too disloyal to even consider!), my family members assure themselves that the other side is just as bad, so there’s no point—even though the voting record in Texas and throughout the country plainly shows that if you vote enough Democrats into office, you will get reasonable gun laws, and the worldwide data overwhelmingly shows that more guns = more mass murders.

So, they keep voting for the old white men who proudly wear a pin shaped like an automatic rifle on the floor of the U.S. House and Senate, representing their support of the NRA and gun “freedom,” while those exact weapons are used to slaughter Americans.

Pro tip: Not all Republicans are corrupt and not all Democrats are good. It’s really hard to trust, or to know the difference. But you couldn’t ask for a bigger red flag than those disgusting automatic rifle pins.

My family members are not stupid. They’re not ignorant either, except in that they only listen to the “news” organizations that are selling hateful and biased propaganda. Those are the mainstream “news” providers in Texas. My family members are not extremists. Some own guns, others don’t. But they’re all buying into the mythology that gun violence just can’t be helped.

This is the core of the problem. Normal, decent folks down there believe the garbage they’re being told by the biased and untruthful politicians and so-called “conservative” media who are profiting from gun proliferation. I say so-called “conservative” because it is not, in fact, conservative to block the return of the more reasonable gun laws that we had 20-30 years ago.

Ronal Reagan himself, the icon of modern conservatives, promoted reasonable gun restrictions such as the Brady Law. (You can read Reagan’s 1991 op-ed in the New York Times at the link below.) Those gun laws have been quietly gutted and torn down over the last twenty-odd years—during the same period in which the rate of gun violence has escalated in the U.S.

As long as reasonable, intelligent people continue to passively accept the increasing number of mass murders, as if they are inevitable, we are all at risk.

As long as we place our tribalistic loyalty to political parties above a return to sensible legislation, things will not get better.

As long as we deny the real statistics that irrefutably show the correlation between gun violence and gun proliferation in America, innocent people will die for it.

As long as we pretend it won’t happen to us or to those we love, we are risking their lives.

I can see why this is happening. I see how the propaganda machine of the rich and powerful works with undue influence on the average person to make them passively accept the unacceptable as if it is unavoidable. I can see how the human brain is triggered by fear to give power to the biggest bullies in their tribe, rather than allowing the enemy tribe to take control. Oh, I can see all that and more of what complicates this problem because I have a front-row seat.

Yet, I don’t see how to overcome this. I can’t convince my own family members to change their minds. Believe me, I’ve tried.

But I’ll keep trying.

lying awake all night thinking/crying about the time someone told me to my face that I look like a troll, then went [even further] out of their way to clarify that they didn't mean a troll doll (i.e. endearingly ugly) but rather the trolls of, like, Norse mythology or folk/fairy tales that live under bridges and eat goats and wayward children or whatever

If people could internationally stop giving concerningly & increasingly far-right white women more and more political power in their country, that’d be great.

This isn’t the #diversity win we need. I don’t give a fuck about Giorgia Meloni being the first woman to be the Italian Prime Minister; Hyper-conservative white women are just as capable of stripping back basic safety & rights from every minority group the right hates as white men are, given the same power. Or even more, because within idiots they have the appeal of “supporting women” even though they’re literally hoping to step back fundamental rights from immense groups of people as soon as they can. I’m not Italian but I don’t need to be to be concerned for people there and the spreading of far-right ideologies.

I’m not gonna mince words here; Fascism/Far-Right is seemingly raising in politics in every country in the news and I’m fucking scared. And I’m “just” a white queer in a “safe” country with reasonable gun laws. I can’t even imagine how scary it is to be black, jewish or any other minority intersectionally on top of being queer right now and in countries with no lawful protection. And being straight and/or cis and white isn’t going to save anyone either, if they’re still women / AFAB. There is no true 100% safety and isn’t going to be from the right’s nonsense if we don’t make it clear we won’t tolerate them, except for an increasingly narrow criteria of people they consider “them” and not “us”.

America's logic between trans people and guns is the same logic there would be if a girl would have an severe allergic reaction to a sandwich and instead of offering her an allergy test, you would ban every single ingredient on that sandwich for everyone in the country.

I am so confused?!?!?
