Every July 4th, every able bodied American should take firearm training with a local militia (sh.itjust.works)

Why?

  1. we blow up tons of shit anyway

  2. we need to show fascists they don't own the monopoly on violence

  3. Look up operation blazing sword- LGBTQ and BIPOC folks need to arm themselves these days. It doesn't necessarily mean owning a firearm in your home, but having knowledge of firearms and a local place to organize your community to defend against y'all-qaeda sounds like an okay idea nowadays

  4. I fired a pistol for the first time two days ago and honestly it was fun

This speaks volumes about this whole post.

There are all sorts of organizations that teach firearm safety and proper gun handling. No need to "join a militia" when you could just look at local gun clubs and shooting ranges.

For anyone in Minnesota the DNR has all sorts of options for training. If your LGBT+ or want to avoid running into right-wing types I'd suggest Sequeerity.
