And Now The GOP Wants To Disarm Us

In a recent segment titled "Tucker: They care more about pronouns than human life", Carlson implicitly calls for the disarming of trans and queer identities.

"You don't need a RA 15 or whatever they call it—says the head of the democratic party speaking very clearly the party's position on guns: "If we can't control them, you can't have them."

He makes this claim to somehow stir up a concern in his viewers, also saying the following:

"It's the same template, always: scare the crap out of your voters, tell them their lives are at risk, encourage them to get guns, how do you think that ends?

Sounds familiar, Mr. Carlson... Almost like the republican party... You did say in this segment "Just to be clear, we're not against people, American citizens, owning firearms, having firearms, we support it, including trans people, it's fine."? So, why does he have an issue? Let's take a look at the situation:

Carlson was driving, listening to NPR , and he hears this:

"EYDER PERALTA: Mass shootings targeting LGBTQ spaces and a rise in anti-trans rhetoric have inspired some quee people to take up arms. New Hampshire Public Radio's Todd Bookman joined the monthly gathering of a gun group that sees firearms as key to their own self-defense. As and you might imagine, this story does include the sound of gunfire."

BOOKMAN: "On a recent Sunday morning, the parking lot of Pawtuckaway State Partk in Southeastern New Hampshire is filling up with hikers. There's also a different crew packing up warm clothes and weapons."

FIN SMITH: Thank you all for coming to Rainbow Reload.

Tucker stops to mention his disapproval, making the claim these militias are actively out to get anti-trans or non queer people for the sake of it. Saying NPR endorses the gatekeeping of weapons to queer people exclusively and for nobody else, hinting at the disarming of the right wing by democrats, also hinting they might want to harm republicans simply for disagreeing with them.

"Well, you know what's going on here: NPR has decided that guns are bad except when the enforcers of its ideology have guns. You can't have guns, but faithful servants of the democratic party can; that makes sense because all totalitarians, they want a monopoly on force, right? So, debate ends at that point, so the other side has all firearms, you don't have to argue. You say "you can't change your sex" "SHUT UP BIGOT! BANG BANG!" He also utilized NPR's coverage of the death of a transgender woman who goes by Eucy, who, according to her friend, Rachel, "was a peaceful, kind being who liked to garden and make soups from things she grew in her garden. I think out of desperation she barricaded herself in her apartment, as far I know, she had no family in the area." And, he made a big point of NPR leaving out the fact she shot a deputy, but he was unable to mention why she shot the deputy which landed them in the hospital; this entire situation is incredibly unfortunate no matter who is in the wrong, and, we should show attention to the injured deputy as well as Eucy, and, friends and families of the two. This shouldn't have happened, definitely. Though, it would be very logical to find out who fired the first shot.

"And, anyone hearing or reading that dispatch from npr "reporter" from Lily Ana Fowler would feel pretty bad for the person who killed him or her-self. Politics aside, completely. But it turns out NPR didn't tell the whole story. What NPR left out was Eucy had shot a Sheriff's deputy prioe to killing [himself] . In fact, Eucy put that Sheriff's deputy in the hospital where he remains tonight after undergoing emergency surgery. That wasn't of any interest whatsoever to NPR's "social justice" team. They just didn't care. What they want you to know she was part of the trans community, and Eucy died. And so, Eucy's life matters much more than anyone's, including the cop that she shot, certainly more than yours."

Jason Rantz, another member of Fox News and an NPR reporter, after conducting his own research claims:

"There is no genocide of trans people in the U.S. or anywhere in the West.. In fact, there has been an explosion of trans-identifying people, which research suggests is a social contagion spread by social media fads and youth peer pressure. They few dozen trans people tragically killed in the U.S. each year are usually murdered by black men while in the course of prostitution activities."

Rantz does not have a psychological or medical degree, rather, he graduated with a Bachelor's degree of Arts in Politics from LA's Occidental College in 2004. The college became accredited in 2022.

We also know that he has not realeased how he came to this conclusion, or even the data of his research. This can lead one to believe it may be biased or nonexistent. It's just another claim to discredit transgender people so that they have more of a platform to say they cannot own firearms, while also making the hypocritical statement the trans community has the ultimate goals to disarm or cause harm to those they do not necessarily agree with. Obviously, even if trans people do have guns, it's already proof this is not the goal, self-defense is the goals. And, nobody is ever barred from the right to bear arms in at least one way or another. The second amendment is for all people.

LGBTQ+ gun group takes aim at the far-right’s violent threats

“Gun rights are for everyone.” So says Fin Smith, a trans gun rights advocate and gun enthusiast who sees the right to bear arms as a last defense against authoritarianism aimed at the queer community. Related Stories These three drag queens have been targeted by the far-right We spoke with three artists swept up in this unprecedented wave of intimidation to see how they are in the aftermath. “Any law that would disarm anyone no matter how reasonable can be used unreasonably against us,” says Smith, who goes by the Twitter handle Queer Armorer. “Because they are coming to make just existing as us the problem.” Smith runs Rainbow Reload, an LGBTQ+ gun club based in New Hampshire, where he produces firearms instruction videos and news and gaming streams, and lives by an amended state motto, “Live Free or F**king Die.”   On a recent gun club outing to Pawtuckaway State Park, Smith told New Hampshire Public Radio, “If the world is dangerous, then you have to be dangerous back,” adding, “and that very much has pushed me to where I am now.” Proud Boys, neo-Nazis, and other armed vigilantes have emerged as a clear and present danger in the far-right’s culture war on drag queens, trans people, and others in the queer community. In 2022 alone, these groups targeted at least 124 drag shows for protests and harassment, many times appearing with weapons. For Smith and members of other LGBTQ+ gun clubs like the Pink Pistols — which has 45 chapters across the U.S. — guns are not a partisan issue. “I mean, if you go far enough left, you get your guns back,” said Guardian, a Rainbow Reload member whose own slogan is “Make Racists Afraid Again.” “I want people to feel safe, to be safe, to be who they are,” he said on the makeshift gun range in the snow that Smith had set up. “It’s not a matter of politics. It’s a matter of whether or not you think certain people should get to live, and be their genuine selves.” A UCLA study from 2020 indicated 21.5 percent of LGBTQ+ households maintained a firearm, compared to 36 percent of their straight counterparts. About the same number of Democrats as LGBTQ+ people own a gun — 20 percent — while almost half of Republicans do, according to the Rand Corporation. “I went from concealed carry every once in a while when I was feeling it to every single day,” said Navy vet Sharon, who transitioned last year. “There are people that just looking at me will want to hurt me.” “There’s been an uptick in hate crimes, there’s been an uptick in groups that have been protesting drag story times and drag shows, and it felt like I needed to learn how to protect myself,” said Jamie, a self-described left-leaning trans woman who chose Rainbow Reload over other local rod and gun clubs for the like-minded company. “Having to hide your identity when you are shooting with a group of people isn’t really a great time,” she says. LGBTQ+ gun groups stand in contrast to Gays Against Guns (GAG), a direct-action protest group advocating for a multi-pronged approach to gun safety in order to “Thwart the life-threatening convergence of homophobia and flawed gun policy.” Last June, GAG held a rally in remembrance of the Pulse Massacre & every mass shooting since 2016. GAG’s co-founder also spoke out after the 2022 Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs. Among GAG’s goals are legislation “to ban access to high-capacity magazine guns and assault weapons, create stricter background checks for gun owners, close the loophole that allows sales of weapons at gun shows without background checks, ban gun sales via the internet, and block people on the FBI watch-list from purchasing guns.” http://dlvr.it/Sk5Z4n

Fire Tower Hike . Only 4.8 mi round trip but was enough to kick our butts a bit getting up there and back. Fire danger is high right now so the tower was manned and we got to go up in the cabin portion at the top to see all the gear and talk to the staff lookout. We could easily see back to the lake and up to several miles in any direction, and though it’s a gorgeous view the haze prevented seeing further. Great hike all in all!

Overland Rig . Using my @tractionjack to level up my @xventure_rocks #XV2 #offroad #trailer. These foldable traction/recovery aids are so handy to have. For leveling provides two different heights, and for recovery the fact that they fold and are so rugged make them more versatile for my use than one piece tracks. Traction Jacks are longer, too, when folded out, giving more surface area to use for climbing out. Rugged, dependable, long-lived. Can’t ask for more than that! . . #tractionjack #recoverygear #getunstuck #overlandgear #expeditiongear #adventuregear #rugged #myoutdoorlife #seasonedtraveller #vanlife #nomadlife #adventureawaits #optoutside #xventuring #gmcsavana #camping #campvibes #getoutandexplore #overlandbound #expeditionportal #americanadventurist #nomad #liveauthentic #outfitandexplore #adventureisnecessary #createandexplore #vancamping #vandweller #pawtuckaway (at Pawtuckaway Lake)
