Summary

Following a February 7th neo-Nazi rally, residents of Lincoln Heights, a majority-Black Ohio town, formed an armed Safety and Watch Program to protect against hate groups.

The rally, where participants waved swastikas and shouted slurs, received little police intervention, sparking fears of future threats when no arrests or identifications were made during the incident.

Volunteers now patrol bus stops and neighborhoods. "I've never felt safer as a Black man in my community," said spokesperson Daronce Daniels.

The historically underserved and self-governing community shows strong support for the initiative with yard signs and sees this as a continuation of its legacy of self-reliance and community defense.

I think letting everybody have a gun is absolutely moronic. But if i was living in the US right now i would definitely be stocking up on assault rifles and ammo.

I think you'd be better off with one, and spend the change left over on more ammo. You only have two hands.

Maybe I'd find some people to use the other ones.

Valid.

At current gun ownership rates in the US, every willing person who wanted a gun could be issued one instantly if enough people were willing to share.

Good for them!

This will be the thing that finally gets us gun control.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 5 points 14 hours ago

Forget it. If you can't imagine the government rounding up all the stockpiles of weapons from right wingers around the country, you should be against any further gun control. Our enemies are already well armed. Don't make it harder for the rest of us.

Watch gun control laws suddenly appear.

Wake up, babe! New Republican gun restrictions are about to drop!
