I agree, if trans people start arming themselves at events, there's no way the cowardly "proud" boys will show up

If Trans people start open carrying en masse, the state of Texas will have a sudden uptick of scared Uber drivers and maybe the rest of the nation will get more gun control laws a la the Black Panthers, ya know?

Now, if it's concealed carry, they won't have a chance to pull on you before they get a wet sweatshirt, just remember "you were afraid they were going to point it at you."

Wait what does this mean?

It means shoot first and claim self-defense like conservatives always do.

I think the "wet sweatshirt" is referring to blood leaking from a wound from the good guy shooting the bad guy before the bad guy could shoot the good guy.
