  • An AR15 or AK is plenty good enough. And if you have the money you can also get basically whatever night/thermal vision equipment your wallet can handle. At least in the USA still. If your handgun doesn’t feel like enough (I agree that it’s not) then I suggest you get yourself a long gun (and lots of ammo) before you can’t anymore. Silver lining to all this bullshit is guns and ammo are as cheap as they’ve been in a long time. Unfortunately no one has any money…

    Also you’re right about it being suicide. But that’s only if you’re alone. Open carrying during protests has historically actually been pretty effective at keeping the peace. That’s also how guns got/get banned though. The Black Panthers and Ronald Reagan for example.






  • Totally with you. Tracking accounts and what they upvote and downvote and then banning specific accounts is pretty well fucked. All-the-while allowing and even enabling bots to flourish… Reddit is a mostly liberal flavored Facebook now. Total trash at this point. Nearly every sub just a bot filled echo chamber inside a library of echo chambers. Almost zero critical thinking. Obvious lies everywhere that are amplified until they become accepted as truth. Just like X/FB/IG/etc.

    On a positive side the general public opinion on Reddit is mostly encouraging. It still has that going for it. But power corrupts. And Reddit is a publicly traded company now. Beholden to it’s shareholders and investors. Hopefully Lemmy grows and fills that void now that Reddit has decided to side with the wealthy elite by censoring our voices. Now that Reddit is literally owned by these wealthy elite (just like all the rest) they cannot be trusted anymore.
