There are some very accepting organizations dedicated to teaching self and community defense. One such example, but I'm sure there are others: https://socialistra.org/about/
There are a lot of SRA (Socialist Rifle Association) chapters that have classes available. Worth it to look up to see if they have instructors or instructors they recommend if nothing else.
If not classes, some homie who's an ex combat vet who's not certified because they don't want to give the feds or the NRA any money.
I've paid the fascists for their classes and its nothing special. I can save you a Sunday and several Friday afternoons and at least $300 in training with these blog posts I wrote.
Hi! Moderate here, I've had a lot of interactions with both left and right leaning establishments. The fact if the matter is that money is money. If you pay them to train you then they will. That being said, there isn't much they'll teach you that you can't learn for free. If you plan on carrying a handgun you might have to take a course, but youtube can teach you the same or better info. Shooting is a pretty fun hobby if you can find a cheap range.

I don't get it. Please explain. All I see is just four panels of a woman standing there. What's the joke?
Honestly it's so contextual I don't think a single person seeing this would read it the exact same way same way in terms of determining motivation and meaning.
Does OP think guns can't be self defense tools? Are they implying they want to use it offensively instead? What does the original author intend?
Is it just about a trans person challenging their previously held beliefs?
She sees the sign
She considers the training
She comes to her senses and realizes what a bad idea owning a gun would be
She feels bad for having considered it
It's one of those common human reaction things, Oh yeah, I have done that.
- She can't have it, because guns banned for transgenders
Pretty sure that transgender folks are still people and therefore are governed and given rights (including the second amendment) by the constitution.
Fucking nuts how the constitution applies to everyone in the U.S. huh?
Which rock you been living under? The current administration is itching to ban trans people from owning guns.
Completely aware. I thought someone was agreeing with it, so I felt the need to defend.
The joke is that they will be banned. Once the government declares transexuals as mentally ill, no guns. Watch. Money says the next Form 4473 asks the question.
My apologies, I got defensive
Thought you were defending the idea.
Thanks for being nice cause it would have been easy to be rude to me back
for now lol, republicans are trying to get transgenderism to be legally a terrorist organization or mental illness
Why would it be bad? The right wing wants trans people dead, we need to defend ourselves
I don't want people carrying guns on the street. But I want even less to be the only one without a gun in the street.
Luckily, I live in a country with proper gun control.
Yeah no idea
Must be something I'm to Australian for
I'm American and haven't the foggiest. She realizes something in the third panel, but I'm not sure what that is.
does it have something to do with the initialism of the poster being "DHT"? the person is wear a trans flag and from the little I know DHT is used in transitioning ftm.
Armed minorities are harder to oppress
“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary”
Can somebody reupload the image at a non-feddit.org host? Feddit is incredibly annoying in that it geoblocks most of Asia.
sure!

I complete disagree with the comic.
I may satirize it l8r.
Thanks!
Yo! It's later already. I demand satire.
decided brutal honesty deserved a retrospective.
seems folks forgot fascists are nothing without their resources.
Is this Loss?
Well the store next doors supplies offensive handgun training. Jokes on you
Are we not going to mention at all that the lost cat turns into AI scribbles??
No, because it doesn't, it's a clearly deliberate regression.
Was the handgun being defensive?
Exactly. When you see ICE approaching a house ... carpet bomb the entire neighbourhood!
