Since Trump’s election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

I get the sentiment but most countries on Earth have armed citizens. You have effectively negated yourself from traveling across much of Asia, much of Africa, South America and several prominent European nations where citizens are armed.
No country is “safe” and you will live in misery and fear if you deny yourself the ability to travel and have new experiences because some people may or may not own weapons.
dude i never plan to leave my country, so im good. dont worry.
Sounds good, enjoy your bubble. Hope nothing there ever changes.
i will enjoy my bubble thanks. canada is the best place to live!
Canadians citizens are allowed to have guns. Not to the extent the US is but still have firearms.
its not a right, and you cant use them for self defense.
My favorite part of being on the internet is seeing people so confidently wrong
show me in Canadian law where its legal to use a firearm for self defense. Don’t worry, i got a nice loveseat and some snacks while i wait.
Here you go dumbass. https://lois-laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-46/section-34.html
Also, I love how you act like Canada is immune to this when the first and only place I’ve ever seen a confederate flag in the western Americas was in Canada. You’re not immune to crazy politics either, and they keep creeping further and further in. Western countries have gotten way too comfortable thinking their freedoms will exist forever without having to fight.
Load of bullshit from an American Exceptionalism expert.
I’ve been all over the world, people carry guns. People shoot in the air to celebrate, people keep guns on their mantles, people keep guns to defend against predators, people carry guns because there are vast, vast areas of Earth that are not patrolled by police. Are these bad people?
It’s pretty bigoted to look down on these people for the circumstances and regions they live, but yeah go ahead and lecture someone for being an American.
edit: i can clearly see by your moderation history that I shan’t be investing a shred of mental energy your way. Go ahead and troll into the void, I won’t see it.
Please take your gun apologia somewhere else.
The number one killer of children in America.
The answer is yes, you are a bad person for promoting this nonsense.
number 5 killer of children, counting accidental discharges as well as gun violence.
Firearms injuries are number one good sir.
Ages 1–17: Firearms have been the leading cause of death for children and teens since 2020. In 2023, there were approximately 3,500 firearm-related deaths among children, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data.
False. That data was an outlier from covid. It’s car deaths again…on top of that drowning kills more kids than guns…but you don’t care about the deaths, you only care about how they died.
if you don’t count infants, then it is more accurate to be number one
I suppose if you don’t count fatalities, no one died.
i gave you the benefit of the doubt here, seems you were more interested in the narrative
