I found this old picture of me as a kid shooting my dad's ar-15. I grew up shooting guns and other than my Ruger 10/22 this was my favorite to shoot. I didn't get to shoot it very often but I thoroughly enjoyed it when I did get the chance. I hope to eventually own one myself.

With the current fascist coup of the United States of America, the need to practice your human right to self defense is more important than ever. Trump and his regime are pushing their racist, transphobic, and otherwise hateful, fascistic agenda while the capitalists gladly bend over backwards to follow what they say. It's clear nobody in power has any of our backs. This clear display of hate will, and historically has, emboldened violent bigots to commit hate crimes against marginalized people. It is up to us to defend ourselves and our communities. So far, we've been doing a bad job of that. Far too many of us have swallowed the bullshit liberal belief that guns have no place in our society. Don't let the Democratic Party's lies fool you. Guns are a vital part in keeping our communities safe. I encourage everyone who can, to arm yourselves. At the very least you need to be carrying pepper spray, and know how to use it. If you're safe and able, you should acquire firearms, and training. Get a license to carry (if you need one), and be armed as often as you can be. I personally carry OC spray every day and am working towards getting a license to carry. The world just got a lot scarier, so keep your head up, and keep yourself safe.
