A place for all to discuss defense, weapons, strategy, and related topics, especially in relation to the Igbt community and our allies

The best option for a defensive firearms is a 5.56x45mm AR-15, and a reputable 9x19mm handgun.

Defensive firearms should have a WML, long guns a sling, and handguns require a Kydex or solid plastic holster that fully covers the trigger.

A red dot or etched optic is ideal, but backup irons are important as well! Be sure to check out r/TheArmedGayAgenda

Well, ye, I had a search for some articles too. But with how unreliable us news channels have been recently, I figured to check it for myself. Anyways, bad news confirmed, unfortunately

yeah, nothing wrong with that - but it's also good to know what the specific claim is to know what to look for - the claim is that they removed resources and materials that related to trans and LGBT+ youth, not that they removed listed missing kids who were trans like the headline could lead someone to believe.
