2nd amendment was always the answer to this question. Simple ownership was what you thought? It's use of arms duh.

I'm more of a fan of the petitioning, campaigning, voting way of doing things

How'd voting work out last presidential election? Zealots still running amok.

Lobbying>petitioning

Campaigning? What year is this? Propaganda and smear tactics are the norm now.

IDK, I see a lot of doctors and lawyers in this pic.

Average leftist:

"Supporting NeoNazi Ukraine is good lol, who cares if they murder and rape with reckless abandon"

"Firearm ownership for law abiding citizens is WRONG you fucking DOMESTIC TERRORIST RACIST BIGOTS!!!!!"

Those white supremacist.

What do you think BLM's entire premise is? It's literally to call out (and attempt to effect change due to) the infringement of the civil rights of Black people at an institutional level. That, too is a government problem.

People who also support institutionalized racial discrimination when it serves their interests. All they ever really do is loot and riot, and demand individuals be prosecuted. Hatred directed at people who don't hold the levers of government. Whether its George Zimmerman or Kim Potter or Darren Wilson or Brett Hankison or whoever else, it doesn't even necessarily involve the government at all, it just involves an angry mob demanding vengeance against specific individuals. BLM isn't some civil rights movement out there advocating for specific policy initiatives, they can't even internally agree on their 'defund the police' toxic branding. What they do reliably, is riot when someone black gets killed by someone not black.

not sure if it's a male on the right

hating on gender identity now?
