Proceeds from the sale of this shirt and sticker are going towards helping trans women be able to take low or no cost firearms training so that they might be better able to defend themselves and their loved ones.
I know that times, are tough, but if you can afford too, I hope you might consider helping out.
Wow. This South Carolina state senator, who strongly opposes a bill that would make it more difficult for convicted domestic abusers to arm themselves, also had this to say about women this week.
You’re an energy production state that bankrupts your energy customers.
Each passing year you’re climbing the charts for states hostile to women’s rights.
Further regressing on environmental reforms (just basic maintenance like flood maps) to keep pitiful insurance rates - totally not going to backfire.

Football?
Yea, I’m deliberately ignoring guns because after hearing more interviews after Uvalde, listening to relatives say they need more guns to protect the children, you need cult intervention before we can actually talk about safety.
guns are unnecessary. use a big rock, stupid. throw it real hard. if you support guns, you have no idea what youre talking about. what big rock is capable of.
The other day, someone on our Facebook page expressed disapproval that I’d hunt in California. They felt as though I should boycott the state because of its grotesque record on gun rights. I categorically disagree with this sentiment. The idea that one should harm a state’s hunting and fishing industries as a way of punishing anti-gun voters makes about as much sense as punishing your cat over something your dog did. If California had more hunters and a more vibrant culture of law-abiding gun-owners, their politicians might not be making the mistakes that they are. But beyond the practical issue of how to win the battle over gun rights and hunting rights, there’s the issue of patriotism. America is a union of states, bound together by shared blood, shared history, and shared values. I’ll continue to travel freely throughout the U.S, regardless of a state’s political climate, until the day I die. I’ll do it because I can. And because I love to.
Why is there never an answer for when someone asks why does this only happen in America?
Because I live in a country that has pretty strict gun laws, and we listen to american music, play video games, watch porn, watch violent movies/tv shows, read comic books, don’t go to church much, have people with mental health problems, have people that do drugs, have people whose parents are divorced, have multiple doors in our schools… And no school shootings.
So, if you think it’s not guns, what is it then?
Well for starters it doesn’t only happen in America, there was a shooting in Germany last week 4 dead I believe. Shootings still happen in Australia and in central and south America homicides increase 3x -5x. Places like Honduras have a 53 homicides per 100,000 people (that’s a lot). The US typically sits around 10. And don’t forget France had terrorists kill 500+ people with actual automatic weapons a couple years ago.
Invariably, homicides are always going to exist doesn’t matter the tool. Culture plays a huge part it how people act that’s why comparisons between different countries are pretty hard and sometimes mute.
We have a population of 360+ million, our borders are laced with trafficking, drugs and other illegal activities. Police are not legally obligated to protect us, we have to protect ourselves.
There are enough guns in this country to give every man woman and child a firearm. Firearms to death is rather small. You have a higher chance of dieing by lightning strike than in a mass shooting.
There are 100,000 to 3 million defensive gun uses in the US every year. This includes not having to shoot s the display of a firearm is often enough to scare away violent individuals.
I mean there’s “never an answer” because the question itself is based entirely on a lie, the US is 65th in the world for mass shootings but you’ll never hear an authoritarian prog acknowledge that fact. The question is a talking point introduced by anti gun lobbies that dumb anti gun proponents ran with without ever asking if it’s true.
Other countries also don’t have the FBI actively grooming terrorists and shooters like they’ve been caught doing dozens of times now.
Probably a pretty big factor all things considered.
“Why is there never an answer” to the question that has been answered so many times it’s not even funny
There are very clear and definitive answers, but they keep getting memory-holed in favor of ‘inanimate object bad’.
As a gun owning American, I understand the exasperation when hearing the same “gotcha” question 10560 times. But since OP is not American and doesn’t seem to be political, this seems to be a genuine question and I’m going to provide some context to the question.
First, the United States is bigger than you think. It’s not one country, it’s 50 countries in a trench coat.
So the important thing to realize off the bat is that mass shootings do not happen everywhere in the USA. It’s very much a cultural thing. They exclusively happen in designated gun free zones and large cities. That’s like 10% of the country. If you live in a rural area or small town, you will never see a mass shooting. So the real question isn’t “why does this only happen in America?” but “Why does this only happen in places where the average person is disarmed?” If you think about that question honestly, you will come to the answer.
