As a trans person I'm starting to constantly debate whether obtaining/carrying a gun is necessary for my safety, or still too risky given my struggles with depression.

Also, for my fellow Timheads and Greggheads, this tweet is such a Jack Decker ass "trying to sound badass" thing to say.

    Fuck it, if it's even legal, what's stopping us from carrying around a string of firecrackers and a lighter in case one of these vet freaks tries something? Just light it up, toss it on the ground, step back and BANG, they're back in Fallujah for the next 20 minutes and you can make your escape. Probably the stupidest idea I've ever had but it's cool in theory.

    EDIT: For obvious reasons, do not attempt this if there's even a remote possibility that they're armed

    EDIT 2: Ok maybe this is just a bad idea

    EDIT 3: Never mind motherfuckers I'm behind this 100%

            maybe i'm conspiratorial brained and wrong but as i remember it bin laden had health issues for years and was reported as dead in the early 2000s at one point which i guess everybody just said was bullshit and then obama claimed to kill bin laden in like 2011 or whatever and they released a photoshopped image of his dead body which was confirmed as a photoshopped image of a palestinian iirc merged with some other image of bin laden (i remember seeing the source images) and then they threw his body off a boat and nobody ever saw it again. this is mostly off memory but that's what i remember happening when i cared to pay attention and i'm just highly suspicious that seal team 6 or whatever even did it. but i dont have a better story to offer in it's place so who knows. just all seemed crazy sus. maybe i'll have to look into it again.

            edit: didn't see until now that @TankieTanuki posted a link to an article about this. finally, confirmation i'm not going crazy!

            ok i'm reading the articles (it references a whole other one) but i also just remembered another thing about this which is wasn't it the seal team 6 raid where they had that photo with hillary and obama in the war room or whatever with hillary covering her mouth? and wasn't that proven to be staged or whatever? and then if i remember correctly, the cameras on the headsets of seal team 6 went out before they entered the compound and there's no footage of them killing bin laden, but that was supposed to be what hillary was watching in awe. anyway, again, just remembering this shit but does anybody else remember this? am i on point here or off base? gotta finish these articles but now i have a flood of questions coming back about this shit lol.

            edit: oh yeah!!! then they made a movie about it!! what the fuck!

      That isn't entirely accurate.

      You didn't mention the bro beards and wrap-around polarized lenses and ranting inside a vehicle while taking selfies.

    Having a gun increases your risk of death in all cases. It makes every encounter more fatal and you have a higher chance shooting someone you love by accident than using it in defense by a huge margin. Warriors may need to take up arms for the revolution against capital but the meantime people who live are the ones who run.

      If anybody is uneasy with owning or using guns, at least consider getting armor, and maybe some mace as well. This is also decent advice if there are substantial legal barriers to arming yourself with a proper gun.

    the answer is to get a gun for offensive reasons knowing full well you have depression :zizek-joy:

        or maybe you understand you are suffering from depression and revolutionary optimism can be one of the salves of it.

        idk im just doing a negation bit.

          Depression is hardly ever rational. Still sucks that only people capable of self-reflection have to deal with crippling depression while history's greatest monsters are shameless.
