MODERATORS
This is 100% why the Left likes to repeat the Karl Marx quote:
“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary”
Guns are a problem in this country for certain, but the majority of people making that problem are on the RIGHT. They live in a culture of might makes right so being violent is the ultimate display of power. The number of left leaning shooters compared to right wing is insignificant.
It's less insignificant than you think.
FBI official report on political terrorism in the past 20 some odd years showed like 5 left leaning acts. Dozenss by the fundamentalist righties.
Who said anything about left wing terrorism?
This is about peaceful and armed political protest.
Edit: Ooooh, when you say shooters, you mean mass shooters.
When I say shooters, I mean firearms enthusiasts.
Yeah, there's a misunderstanding here. Hope we've clarified it. :)
We need more self-defense (or rather community defense organizing) classes now more than ever. For Renee Nicole Good.
There are leftist gun clubs. There needs to be more though.
I'm very sorry for what happened to Renee Nicole Good. The government (through ICE) is really all up in our shit. Get the damn government outta here. Seriously!
I am terribly sorry for what happened to Renee Good. I have watched the videos over and over and I really don't understand how anyone could come to a conclusion different than "power tripping ICE agent murders woman in cold blood because he felt slighted by her declaring she was ignoring his order."
That said, the narrative of fear the administration is pushing requires someone armed and dangerous. Renee Good died unarmed, but she is dismantling a whole story line in her innocence. They tried to portray her as a monster, because the reality is they are.
I remember seeing a report that accused her of using her "enormous SUV" to attack people. She drove a Honda Pilot. It's really hard to find a car smaller than that in America, these days.

Ironically, said by the people who drive lifted trucks as their dailies
The Pilot isn't an enormous SUV (that would be something like the Cadillac Escalade), but Honda alone makes the CRV and HRV which are smaller SUVs. Plus sedans like the Civic. It's not hard to find smaller cars, but when you have three school age kids the Pilot makes sense.

The only cars I know that are smaller are about 20 years old at minimum or are imported Kei trucks. The fact that it is only mildly bigger than my 4 cylinder 2001 Toyota Tacoma without its shell tells ya how small it is.
