FYI:
Libs of TikTok is a handle for various far-right[a] and anti-LGBT[b] social-media accounts operated by Chaya Raichik (/ˈxɑːjə ˈraɪtʃɪk/ KHAH-yə RY-chik),[10] a former real estate agent.[11][12][13] Raichik uses the accounts to repost content created by left-wing and LGBT people on TikTok, and on other social-media platforms, often with hostile, mocking, or derogatory commentary.
“Chaya Raichik” isn’t a good aryan name. It sounds foreign. I say this cause who she is as a person and who she associates with seems to support fascist and ethno-nationalist ideals.
I hope she gets everything she voted for.
She likely has some exit plan to Israel.
I hope she gets everything the men who support the same politicians as her voted for.
Again, a 5.56 would be cheaper.
Let’s not encourage violence.
I’ve seen her in an interview, and she came across as exceptionally unintelligent. Which tracks, I suppose.
The Nazi guy yesterday set up a few communities and one of them was a reposting community for post made by that group.
Have the communities been defederated?
I think they were removed at the source once the admin was contacted
she’s one of the few people i would classify as literally evil
This machine…
Rational people pay attention to unarmed peaceful protestors…
But the people in power aren’t rational, and the boots on the ground attack if protestors are unarmed…
Vests and rifles are going to be necessary optics at protests for the foreseeable future.
Too bad it didn’t get used.
L take. I’m glad that person didn’t have to use it, as that would mean violence was being brought upon innocent protesters that they therefore had to defend.
As ice cube taught us, any day you don’t have to use the AK is a good day.
HAVING the gun, and therefore demonstrating second amendment rights is different than needing to use it.
And a Defend Equality sticker on the stock! Super based. This person has an open invitation to all my backyard cookouts next summer.
Is this where the white people twitter exodus gonna land?
I mean it literally says whitepeopletwitter under its logo, and name, atop the side bar, so yeah, probably should expect that
do they even know to come here tho… reddit out reach is becoming very hard, can’t make anon accounts, can’t make account with fingerprinting…
Oh I expect most to go elsewhere, but the portion that end up on lemmy, after doing a search for reddit alternatives, will end up here. The greater portion probably won’t end up at single, as there aren’t any reddit alternatives in the way that reddit was an alternative to digg.
I was really hoping for something more impressive than a sticker.
Something more like the Hello Kitty AR-15?
Yes! Guns deserve more colors than black, blued steel, and wood.
It’s so pretty! 😻

Looks like just some trans tape wrapped around the mag.
Thats not an AK-47.
What is it?
It’s impossible to tell because of low resolution image, but the “AK-47” or Type 1/2/3 AK hasn’t been made in 70 years, and are very rare nowadays. Due to popular media, what most people think of when they hear AK-47 is the AKM, a cheaper and mass produced variant of the 7.62 AK, which this could be, but its more likely this is not a Russian-made rifle (only ~10-15% of AKs are Russian-made).
This sounds like the Linux vs GNU/Linux meme.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as the AK-47 is, in fact, Kalashnikov’s Automatic Rifle, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Kalashnikov plus 7.62×39mm. The AK-47 is not a firearm unto itself, but rather another essential component of a fully functioning infantry weapon system made effective by its rugged design, intermediate cartridge, and gas-operated action, comprising a complete platform as defined by modern military doctrine.
Many firearm enthusiasts use a modified version of the Kalashnikov rifle every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the rifle originally designated as the AK-47 has evolved into the AKM and other derivatives, and many of its users are not aware that what they are handling is basically the original AK design, refined by Mikhail Kalashnikov’s engineering.
There really is an AK-47, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they rely on. The AK-47 is the foundation: the mechanism in the rifle that cycles rounds and provides reliability in extreme conditions. The receiver, barrel, and bolt carrier group are essential parts of a firearm, but useless by themselves; they can only function in the context of a complete rifle assembly. The AK-47 is normally used in combination with its 7.62×39mm ammunition and stamped steel receiver: the whole system is essentially Kalashnikov’s rifle with these elements added, or Kalashnikov/7.62. All the so-called AK variants are really just derivatives of Kalashnikov’s original masterpiece!
I just got “Aykshually’d” by an AI.
AK-47’s also look like black colored pencils.
Good, every progressive should be armed. Its like the literal reason we have the second amendment in the first place.
That’s a very modern interpretation of the second amendment popularized by conservatives. What it means ‘literally’ is hotly debated but only relatively recently did conservative pundents push this definition away from the arguably more ‘literal’ concept of organized state militias. If you think an arms race between liberal activists and right wing racist hillbillies (ie. Most of America) is going to end with the armed liberals winning, you need to check out the gun cabinets and gun sheds of the conservative homes in my town. Every time I see a ridiculous call to arms post like this on Lemmy I put some money aside to donate to one of my favorite gun control charities.
The rulings testing the militia part of the clause go back a long way establishing it is not a necessary part (and certainly it doesn’t read that way).
Also Everytown’s ideas are not based on evidence or even common sense. They can fuck right off.
Just because people don’t put them in a literal showcase and make it their entire personality doesn’t mean they don’t own as many they just don’t want to get robbed as badly.
Got my CCW after trump won in 2016, didn’t end up needing it
Got plates after this one, I’m not going to be a protest without it and a rifle.
It sounds like an escalation, but a show of force prevents a lot of violence, and it works especially well on the people we’re protesting. Like, that’s not a dig. Due to brain differences it’s harder to win over the right by appealing to empathy or facts and logic.
Everyone that works on is already mostly on our side.
What works on conservatives is fear of immediate consequences. You think a trumpet would drive into protesters when a dozen would actually open fire and make them legit “fear for their lives”?
Hell, they overrun the Capitol because cops just had Glocks and riot gear…
These days a protest ain’t safe unless people are posted up.
I always believed in the 2A, though up to now i never owned one, don’t hunt game, and owning a gun is an extra responsibility i didn’t feel the need to take on. Though this has changed recently as i am a proud yet reluctant owner of an SFAR. I also got my gas mask with NATO cartridges.
I come from hillbillies, so technically I owned a rifle and a shotgun before I was ever born.
But I never went thru the hassle of getting a CCW and small pistol to carry.
But shits fucking crazy these days. Like I’ve lived in some rough areas, and had plenty of people show me their gun as intimidation since I was a punk teenager. But I was never seriously worried about getting shot, people had something to lose and I was never doing something that was worth it.
Nowadays people with a good job and family are just firing off over incredibly minor shit.
Everyone is just willing to throw it all away over nothing.
I really think we’re gonna find out COVID caused similar issues to lead poisoning even among minor cases with no symptoms. People just have no chill, and everyone and their mother is strapped here now.

You really don’t need it. Tear gas in an open environment is not bad, you move 10 feet away for a few minutes.
People will tell you tennis rackets is the move, but that could lead to serious charges if used to hit one back at cops.
What you need is buckets. They fire a can, you cap it. If you do have to retreat, someone will likely (completely on accident and without any malice) knock it over releasing the tear gas and slowing the cops.
I was in the military, and i had one. Seemed like a thing to get, and it couldn’t hurt. You are right about the buckets, i have seen those work well in protests. The police had to resort to shooting protestors in the face with the grenades instead, blew someones eye out of their skull.
Shooting can absolutely be fun - not just a tool to fight oppression. “Can I shoot something smaller and further away?” is a question you can keep asking yourself!
I don’t get the take here.
Is this bad because…they had a gun?
Or is it bad because the gun had a transgender flag?
Aren’t they all for gun rights?
rules for thee and not for me
Before I noticed the source, I just thought, “Badass!” Then I had the same question as you.
They’re for gun rights within the scope of their interpretation of the constitution. It’s starts out “We the people” and when you don’t consider someone a person, you don’t consider them to have those same rights.
Check out a prior example
You make the fatal flaw of thinking there’s reasoning behind their beliefs. They make up reasons to justify their beliefs. These reasons are always narrow-in-scope and context-dependant, but are often presented as generalized statements. They will change their argument to suit their aims.
Now, as an average libsoftiktok follower, where do I call in the bomb threat? The gun owners house for owning the transgender gun? The gun manufacturer for making a transgender gun? The NRA for not making transgender guns illegal? The state capitol for allowing the transgender gun on their grounds? Or nowhere because there’s evidence of the thing actually happening?
Honestly it’s good for the MAGA crowd to see that normal people in America are armed too. They see themselves as wolves among sheep, while the masses are armed only with their useless empathy and critical thinking skills.
Ive legit met a couple who were surprised I like blades and that I collect them. My three favorite ones are my 1942 Machete made for the US Army, my modern Ka-bar I bought at the Army surplus warehouse in Idaho Falls, and an M3 knife replica I bought from a local dealer.
Now imagine how theyd react if I had a gun, though if shit goes down ill just jack it from one of their still warm corpses.
i collect blehds
While you were partying, I was studying the blade.

Honestly if it makes it any better I dont know what the actual fuck possessed me to writ it that way. Guess thats what I get for writing comments while slowly losing it playing Wasteland 1. Seriously how did folks play this in the 80s.
Haha kudos for taking it in stride, I am just teasing of course. Philosophically I’ve always had mixed feelings on an armed population, but if there will be people with weapons I’m happier if they’re in the hands of the people pushing for equality and fighting oppression.
Yeah, also its just as important to know how to use them as well. Which means for example I am well adept at using a Ka-bar and a shovel since I use them quite frequently around my property, this isnt even that much of a joke familiarity with something weight alone can help quite a bit. But slight joking aside my original comment was probably the most unflattering and worst way I could have stated that, but its kinda funny in a mid 2000s 4chan sorta way so ill leave it.
while the masses are armed only with their useless empathy and critical thinking skills.
I miss the gold award here, you deserve one.
We should donate to trans support funds and post the proof of donation. Awards, but better.
I wish I could updoot you twice!
Marginalized groups should bring more weapons to protests, then maybe we could get some god damn gun regulations like back when the NRA was against the black panthers brandishing them in public.
Under no pretext shall arms be surrendered from the workers!
