    Is there an actual group pushing for that? (I’m pretty sure I remember a decade or so back there being an arm the homeless group, that put out santa’s etc… though didn’t actually accept donations. (Their actual goal was common sense gun laws, and they knew the people who are pro-gun would argue strongly against it shooting their own pro-gun arguements in the foot).

      #libertrians #armtheHomeless The homeless are one of the most at risk group to authoritarian violence including, but not limited to, police. There is at least one campaign in my region looking to collect firearms that you don’t need anymore to donate them to the homeless.

        Lol yes, because armed resistance against the police always works out well… Legal or not…

        Crazy homeless folks in my area keep picking up felony gun possession charges so it’s apparently not that hard to arm oneself.

      This is literally a story arc in Bojack horseman, which is an homage to what California did when the black panthers showed up with guns to the legislature lol. In BH women start buying guns, men pass new gun laws in the blink of an eye.
