3/3 This is a very divisive topic. One side is totally against guns: no one should have them. One side thinks everyone should be allowed, and can have one if thatâs what they want. Both sides think the other side is going to do awful things in service of their ideas. Pass laws. Hurt people. Go door to door and take guns away.
I have only one point in this post: your current opinion is probably based on a much simpler view. The real situation is so much more complex. If you think you have the answer, and you think that answer is something that could actually happen, you are probably wrong. And I donât care which side youâre on.

2/3 Just as cars can be used for evil; fire can be used for good. But we follow strict rules to make fire serve us in a way where it doesnât destroy what we value. That doesnât change the nature of fire: fire still destroys. If nobody (anywhere) had guns, would the world be a better place? Obviously, I canât know that, but it sure seems like it could be. Because bad people have guns, we tolerate guns in the hands of âprotectorsâ, police, soldiers, etc. That doesnât change the nature of guns: guns still destroy. When a protector uses a gun, itâs still to destroy.
Bad people are bad, yes, thatâs obvious. Tools of destruction make bad people so much worse. Iâm not making any moral judgement about tools. Iâm not saying theyâre good and can be misused! Iâm not saying theyâre inherently evil! One of those might well be the truth, but itâs so complicated I donât think I have the moral knowledge or understanding to choose. Iâm saying that the combination of a bad person and a gun is a bad thing and is pretty much certain to lead to awful consequences. A âprotectorâ with a gun is not automatically bad, but sooner or later, they might be put in a position that ends with loss of life. I have posted on this before: life is precious. Even âbad guysâ deserve to be alive, unless they are doing something so evil that it outweighs their need to live, and thereâs absolutely no other way to stop them. Because bad guys have guns, that can happen. No âprotectorâ wants to make that decision (and if you think that decision is easy, youâre much closer to the âbad guyâ end of the spectrum than the âprotectorâ end). There are no winners.

1/3 The ânatureâ of fire is destruction. It burns, it eats things up, it is destructive. There are people who love that about fire. They want to destroy things **with** fire. We call those people arsonists. A single arsonist can destroy millions of acres, hundreds of lives, townsâ worth of homes, with an action that takes them less than a second. People with destruction in their hearts are evil ⊠and fire is a huge force multiplier that makes them so much worse.
The nature of guns is destruction. In every single application of a firearm, the result is destruction. Sometimes small, sometimes large, sometimes devestating. There are people who love this about guns. They want to destroy things **with** guns. Here in the United States we see so many examples of this I donât need to describe it futher. Guns destroy things, and very often the things they destroy are human lives. (Cars can be used to kill and destroy, too, but thatâs not their **nature**. Their nature is about moving things from place to place.). Guns are force multipliers that allow evil people to do so much more harm than they might without a gun. Some guns are especially good at killing human beings.
Recite the #Oath to the troops - remind them they are there to #Protect the #People and the #Constitution - thank them for being your #Defenders & #Protectors & tell them to #Stand with us, #Beside us as #Part of us - the People.

There will be #protestors and #protectors on my street tomorrow because of a hotel used to house people seeking #asylum.
I feel like I should be able to do something #radical and #creative, but can't think of anything.
Maybe I'll just play a #guitar and #sing on my driveway.
I don't think #police can move me along if I'm on my property, but I'm not sure. They've been given #SpecialPowers. Although nothing as special as my #dog. He creates incredible smells from his #AnalGlands.
@tinker have you read this thread by âDesign momâ? Itâs fantastic (donât let the Bible reference turn you away, she makes excellent points.)

#ThackerPass #Protectors File First-Ever '#BiodiversityNecessityDefense' in #Nevada Court
While pursuing a '#ClimateNecessityDefense,' and making allegations that #mining company has violated their rights, their attorney said, 'Theyâre not criminals; theyâre heroes.'
Bhie-Cie Zahn-Nahtzu: â#LithiumNevada is a #greedy #corporation on the wrong side of history when it comes to #EnvironmentalRacism and desecration of #SacredSites. Itâs ironic to me that Iâm the trespasser because I want to see my ancestral land preserved.â
By #ProtectThackerPass, #CensoredNews, March 26, 2024
"In a first for the American legal system, the lawyers for six people sued by Lithium Nevada Corporation for protesting the Thacker Pass mine are arguing a âbiodiversity necessity defense.â
"The necessity defense is a legal argument used to justify breaking the law when a greater harm is being prevented; for example, breaking a car window to save an infant locked inside on a stifling hot day, or breaking down a door to help someone screaming inside a locked home. In these cases, trespassing is justified to save a life.
.
"This weekâs filing states: 'Defendants possessed an actual belief that their acts of protest were necessary to prevent the present, continuing harms and evils of #ecocide and irreversible #ClimateChange.'
"'Weâre in the midst of the 6th #MassExtinction of life on Earth, and itâs being caused by human activities like mining,' said attorney Terry Lodge, who is representing the #protesters. 'Our lives are made possible by #biodiversity and #ecosystems. Protecting our children from pollution and biodiversity collapse isnât criminal, itâs heroic.'
"Currently Earth is experiencing one of the most rapid and widespread extinction events in the planetâs 4-billion-year history.
"Biologists report that habitat destruction, like the bulldozing of nearly 6,000 acres of biodiverse #sagebrush steppe for the Thacker Pass mine, is the main cause of this '#6thMassExtinction.'"

Grumet: #VeteransforEquality stand as #protectors of an #LGBTQ+ #community under attack in #Texas.
Gen Peña founded Veterans for Equality a year ago this month, recognizing the need for volunteer peacekeepers at events where LGBTQ+ people might come under attack.

#Female #biker #group steps in to #protect #dragqueen #storytime in #Parkhill, #Ontario
Outside, a group of self-proclaimed #protectors named the â#WindSistersâ formed a chain in front of the entrance.
âToday we wanted to come here and show protection and help the community celebrate all of our inclusivity,â she added.
