“Brutality” and “InRage” Do not conflate whatever this is with self defense. Ever.

Brutality matches are hosted by Karl Kasarda, who runs InRange TV, a YouTube channel that embraces the idea of the Second Amendment being for everybody, but especially minorities. Trans and queer people made up about a quarter of participants. 🔗 www.wired.com/story/the-ha...

There are a few Brutality matches a year, combining physically exhausting tasks with marksmanship. That means a lot of running, throwing kettle bells, and shooting from strange locations, like from the back of an abandoned school bus.

But the people there embraced a variety of subcultures, from hacking to cosplay to polyamory. The event even had a leftist theme: a worker's rights uprising on Mars.

The 2nd Amendment is a firearms regulation amendment. In America it is constitutional to regulate private ownership of firearms. In America it is constitutional to ban private ownership of all automatic and semi-automatic firearms. Freedom and safety for everyone.

Per federal law, male individuals between the ages of 17 and 45 who are not members of the US Military (or coast guard) are members of the unorganized (but regulated) militia. (Many states have expanded the age range and genders which make up this militia.)

“The RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE (all persons in good legal standing) to keep and bear arms (private ownership) shall not be infringed.” This has been litigated and relitigated finding that private ownership of arms is constitutionally protected, and no amount of semantic tricks change this reality.

Why are you guys promoting an extremist youtube channel promoting guns for all? The vast majority of leftists support background checks and other common sense restrictions on gun ownership. Framing it as a safety issue for minorities doesn't make NRA talking points any more valid, knock it off.😑

Couldn't find anyone sane on the left that supports unlimited gun rights, so you went and found a small group of extreme leftists in Idaho? Makes sense.🙃 The rest of us will continue to oppose gun culture and gun manufacturers and stand with Sandy Hook and Columbine survivors.

Came here to say exactly this.

Tough concept...progressive, leftist ideology can make for possibly more responsible and compassionate gun owners and users...but it still fuels the weapons industrial complex, promotes capitalist goals through massive sales and maintains automatic firearms and assault rifles in the wrong hands

I understand the hesitation but being realistic if there's not already half a billion guns in private possession in the United States there will be by 2030 and no confiscation program will succeed since people won't die to take them. Reducing the amount of firearms is a multi-generational project.

I really do understand the ethical concerns but the flipside is allowing the increasingly polarized and bloodthirsty right-wing to believe that they have a monopoly on violence and the right to exert that violence on groups they view as their enemy.
