I love the irony here but this is 100% meant to bait counter protestors with guns to show up to the next one, especially in Wisconsin, and especially with the current administration that has no problem holding a double-standard (liberal protestors with guns are dangerous, conservative protestors with guns are patriots).

Leftists don't have the same privilege as white conservatives do walking around with an open carry. I hope anyone bringing their firearm to a protest understands the risks involved and is ready/willing to use it if things escalate.

Good, every progressive should be armed. Its like the literal reason we have the second amendment in the first place.

Armed minorities are harder to oppress. Stay strapped people. We're not even a month into this shit yet

And a Defend Equality sticker on the stock! Super based. This person has an open invitation to all my backyard cookouts next summer.

Awesome! Protect yourselves you beautiful queer people.

Incredibly based

Marginalized groups should bring more weapons to protests, then maybe we could get some god damn gun regulations like back when the NRA was against the black panthers brandishing them in public.

Under no pretext shall arms be surrendered from the workers!

Guns are not exclusive to Nazis 😉

Now, as an average libsoftiktok follower, where do I call in the bomb threat? The gun owners house for owning the transgender gun? The gun manufacturer for making a transgender gun? The NRA for not making transgender guns illegal? The state capitol for allowing the transgender gun on their grounds? Or nowhere because there's evidence of the thing actually happening?

Rational people pay attention to unarmed peaceful protestors...

But the people in power aren't rational, and the boots on the ground attack if protestors are unarmed...

Vests and rifles are going to be necessary optics at protests for the foreseeable future.

Quick edit:

Obligatory, "I think my draco might be gay"
