CW: guns
I was reading product reviews for an innovative pack designed for skiing, biking, running, hunting, etc. Not that I am in the market for this pack, but I thought it was cool.
The number of reviews which talk about using it for concealed carry of their weapon/sidearm is kind of amazing. I expected mostly skier and mountain biker comments. But it seems like the gun-carrying folks are really into this thing.
The #gunculture is the US always surprises me.
Full disclosure: I've owned many guns in the past when I was an active firearms hunter and rural resident, but am not currently a gun owner.

"Now that he isn’t a trans antifa leader, the right had to come up with new narratives to blame Democrats for it. Two of them are currently being advanced by the usual suspects: 1) That he was a good kid from a nice Republican family who was subsequently radicalized by woke college professors; or 2) he was radicalized by liberals online."

"Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah who grew up in a Republican family where guns of all types were prevalent, has been arrested and charged with the murder of Charlie Kirk. Since he failed to fit the narrative right-wingers had constructed over the past two days as they speculated wildly, they have shifted their focus to new theories to blame everything on Democrats."

"Asked about coping with the loss of Charlie Kirk [and now that we know who the accused actually is], Trump said he was 'very good' and quickly shifted to touting the start of construction on a long-sought new White House ballroom, calling it a 'magnificent structure' that had been planned for 150 years."

"If the alleged assassin is who we now believe he is, there are lessons to be learned here. ...
Instead, it is much easier to retreat to cliches. 'We need to learn to disagree better.' 'The rhetoric is out of control.' Etc. Etc. Etc.
Bullshit. There is a fundamental difference between fascists who want to exterminate us and everyone else."

"She spoke with Daily Mail on Friday after news of Robinson’s arrest broke. 'My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump,' Debbie told the outlet. 'Most of my family members are Republican. I don’t know any single one who’s a Democrat.'”

"Tyler Robinson, 22, the man arrested in connection with the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, comes from a MAGA family, his grandmother has revealed.
Although MAGA figureheads have been quick to point fingers at the left for Kirk’s death, Tyler’s grandmother, Debbie Robinson, 69, insisted that they come from a family of Trump supporters."

"He even dressed as Donald Trump for Halloween. The family wasn’t shy about their culture of guns, their politics, or their worldview.
This is who the killer is. This is what we now know. And yet Trump and his cronies immediately blamed the left."

"Tyler Robinson comes from a Republican family. His father owns a business installing kitchen countertops and cabinets. His mother is a licensed social worker. His family is white, Mormon, and self-described as 'gun-toting.' There are endless photos of Tyler and his family with guns. His mother posted about him proudly."

Good to see this follow-up to the reckless, irresponsible and disrespectful actions of a gang of young men on Chief Drygeese Territory.The #Indigenous nation asks the videos’ creators to “take accountability by issuing a public apology, acknowledging the harm caused and committing to cultural awareness in future creative endeavours.” https://cabinradio.ca/253261/news/yellowknife/ykdfn-and-south-asian-group-condemn-gun-videos/

#Yellowknife is a multi-cultural community in #Canada's #SubArctic and has a growing South Asian community. These irresponsible guys just blew a huge hole in community relationships in their celebration of #guns and #gunculture in a part of the world where guns are used for subsistence hunting only. https://cabinradio.ca/253088/news/yellowknife/filmmaker-says-gun-heavy-yk-productions-are-just-music-videos/

I keep coming up against the argument that all Americans need to be armed because all other Americans are armed. Add the fact a large percentage of Americans have more reason to fear then trust the police and it seems there is no reason to believe there is anyway out from American gun culture. #guns #gunculture #guncontrol

CW: #CW #USPoli
For decades the rest of the world has never understood the US's #GunCulture and all the deaths it has caused unnecessarily. But the Americans have always claimed their second amendment was necessary to keep a King from taking over the country. So my question is, why now when they literally have a man in the White House who thrice daily declared himself God and King of the US and the rest of the world, hasn't anyone shot the asshole!?

65 million Americans now own #firearms
for protection, suggests survey
That’s around 80% of the country’s estimated 81 million gun owners; Perceived need now prompting women and those of minority ethnicity to own a gunhttps://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1052262
interesting that they collapsed all other motivations into one category. May be tricky to establish who bought a gun to #murder someone, or to commit #armedRobbery ?

During the speech, #Trump repeated a pledge to fire the director of the Bureau of #Alcohol, #Tobacco, #Firearms & #Explosives, known as the #ATF, on Day One of a potential administration. He accused that agency, which enforces #UnitedStates #GunLaws, of being heavy-handed w/ #FirearmOwners & revoking licenses on frivolous grounds.

"I think you're a rebellious bunch. But let's be rebellious & vote this time."
The nation's top #gun rights group has now endorsed #Trump 3X - in 2016, 2020 & 2024.
The org cheered on Trump during his 2017-2021 term, as he appointed 3 #conservative justices to #SCOTUS & took a series of steps sought by the #GunLobby.…Including designating #firearm shops as “essential businesses” during the #COVID19 #pandemic, allowing them to stay open.

The address to thousands of #NRA members at the group's annual Leadership Forum in Dallas was *light* on new #policy, but he used the platform to urge #gun supporters to go to the polls in the Nov #election.
"We've got to get gun owners to vote," #Trump said in his *wide-ranging* *speech*, which covered everything from his #criminal trials to #trade & #immigration over >90 mins.

The development will change the shape of the NYC trial, since #NYAG #LeticiaJames was seeking to oust #WayneLaPierre from his position. She is also seeking financial penalties from #LaPierre & 3 other defendants.
LaPierre played a leading role in transforming #GunCulture in #America, but the last ½ decade of his tenure at the #NRA was marred by scandals & internal upheaval.

Sounds like the landed gentry of Gleniffer is practicing for the hunt or war. Some baron of the bush has been shooting around for an hour at 32 C. It has the sound quality of an elephant killing machine, a 44 Magnum? Wildlife are in hiding.

My granddaughter started kindergarten this fall. The first week they had an info session and drill on what to do if a *bear* gets into the school. How to hide, how to be quiet, how to look after each other, how to stay safe. Obviously this was coded for a shooter so that 4 and 5 year olds could understand it and not be terrified by an unknown danger. I am in Canada. You can't even imagine how much this pisses me off.
In rural Canada, most households have guns for hunting and livestock protection, at least almost everyone that I know. We have gun ranges and gun clubs, gun camps and classes. When my youngest was 14, she attended a week long firearms camp for teens 13 to 19. I was there the whole time because I helped a filmmaker film the whole week. I participated in shooting skeet, black powder, 300's, and 22's. We also learned basics of archery, survival shelter and fire building. Each day consisted of classroom in the morning, field work in the afternoon. The kids really learned a ton of safety and survival skills from a variety of older people with hunting, farming, and survival skills. One instructor was an author and pilot that had survived a small plane crash in the wilderness in winter for weeks and his skills in doing so. The kids that passed the written test and demonstrated they understood safety and function with firearms got their acquisition and possession license. The division was aprox. 50/50 girls to boys. This is an important and significant point.
The marked difference between our 2 countries with regard to firearms is the culture. The kids were never ever taught that you need a gun to protect yourself from "a bad guy". There was no swaggering around with pistols. There were no photo-ops posing with guns. There was no toxic masculinity. There was no "othering" of people into good and bad. There was no teaching the kids that "someone is going to come for you so you better be ready". The kids were taught self reliance, hard core skills, and how knowledge is what will keep you safe. They were taught that the guns were another tool in the toolbox to be used properly and respected.
There are many more nuances to this whole topic, it would take novel length posts to cover them. But the discourse I see all over the interwebs right now just never seems to get to this point.#SelfReliance #SelfSuffiency #Homesteading #Firearms #GunCulture

Surrender Illegal Weapons in 15 Days or Face Action, Manipur CM Warns People
Thousands of sophisticated weapons have been looted from state armouries and police stations, which rival groups used in unleashing violence in the state. Several such calls for surrendering weapons were also made in the past, but to no avail.
