More spicy fucking gun control takes on your dash, sorry. Under the cut because these are just my feelings to deal with
 Yes, the lib idea of gun control that basically leaves just the cops and white hobbyists with guns is bad. The “Arm everyone! Especially lgbtq people and POC!” idea.... is also bad.
 A gun introduces an absolutely buckwild variable into your household. It’s not an abstract to even a playing field. It makes it so that a SPLIT second of bad judgement, rage, despair, boredom, psychosis, or fear can cost you or someone else everything. Do you really think most people should be introducing that variable into their house lightly???  Even people who grew up with guns and were trained in their use since childhood are still subject to horrific accidents.
 I never truly grasped this until the first time I moved from home. I took my grandpa’s handgun to my new place cuz you know, a woman on her own in the east bay. I lived with housemates. Over time it became clear that one of my housemates was suicidal, and one was extremely abusive to their partner. One morning after they had been up all night screaming,fighting, and crying I took that handgun to a gun shop and left without it. The abstract self defense scenario was just so paltry next to the much more likely scenario where one of my housemates got into my unlocked room and accessed my gun. I kept it in a well reviewed lock box, but guess what, every safe and box has dozens of easily searchable tutorials on how to bypass the security features. We had powertools too. Ten years later and I’ve literally never been in a situation where I wished I’d held on to that gun, and I do some extremely sketchy shit like walking around major cities at night and backpack in the wilderness alone for weeks. 
 I don’t know. This turned into more of a diary post. I don’t have any answers. My run of good luck in life doesn’t negate another woman’s desire to arm herself does it. Orgs like the Huey P Newton gun club put an emphasis on education, and I do respect that. It’s all the super-glib arm everyone takes I’ve seen on my dash today that prompted this.
 In my own heart I think only the most unflappable 40+ year old butch lesbians and indigenous aunties should have guns, and that there should be high tech hunting guns that are made to be unable to shoot humans, but that’s extremely useless to this conversation isn’t it lmao

#Huey newton trial
#Huey newton trial
In May 1970, this sentence was overturned and a new trial for Newton was ordered. In the following year (September 1968) he was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to two to fifteen years in prison. In October 1967, Newton was accused of murdering an Oakland police officer – John Frey. The FBI infiltrated the movement and provided Hoover, the head of the FBI, with intelligence reports regarding the violent intentions of the Black Panthers. It was how these desires were to be achieved that worried the authorities.
#Huey newton full
We feel passionate about this position, because to us there is no theory above the practice of arming our community for self-defense.Newton, along with Seale, wrote the ’Black Panther Party Platform and Program’ which laid out what the Black Panthers wanted – full employment for the black American community, full civil rights, good housing, good educational facilities etc. Newton Gun Club intends on taking full advantage of promoting to the general black community their rights to exercise this point freely. Pivotal to our organizational foundation is the promoting of black men and women to bear and possess arms, to train and develop survival skills. We understand and know we will not win every person over to our methods and practices, however we accept we must walk this difficult path towards eventual armed struggle. In essence we take responsibility for the growth and development for our community which is an element to our nationalist ideals. Additionally, by doing educational seminars such as camping, hunting, and mentorship programs shown results have shown positive results with the youth. We feel that properly educating young men and women about weapons and anger can prevent careless acts from occurring. We the Huey P Newton Gun Club accept the responsibility to intervene as often as we can and strive to convert these elements of our community into soldiers for the cause to uplifting the community. Too many of us have fallen as a result of being colonized in America and without thought have killed one another. Redirecting and ceasing self-hatred, which is often diagnosed as black on black violence, is a part of our program. You and I have a duty to educate as many as we can about the proper usage of weapons, and also our political right to take a defensive stance towards the status quo that has committed the greatest act of terrorism against indigenous people world-wide. We founded this organization on three “simple” points, it must be understood we do not want to reinvent a long-drawn-out platform or process. We strive with you to STOP these atrocities that effect our community and are elated you desired to work with us to put in place a defense component with eventual offensive capabilities. Using Huey’s name is logical to us based on this point in history where black men and women are murdered wholesale by various police agencies around the United States. We invoke ancestor Huey Newton because since his murder in 1989 in Oakland, California there has been an attempt to massacre and defame his legacy. In the spirit of the Marrons societies throughout the Americas, that worked towards the liberation of our people and the various insurrections that we are aware of and also unaware of, we formed the Huey Percy Newton Gun Club. At this point in history, we realize that Black people in the western hemisphere have always promoted armed self-defense first with rebellions on slave ships and most notably with the Haitian Revolution that began in 1791. We do so humbly, patiently, and without ego. Our organization, the Huey Percy Newton Gun Club, is the latest attempt to resurrect the minds of black people within the borders of the United States of America. We desire a world of peace, justice, and equality for all humanity, and specifically people of color. Safety, caution, and attention to detail are at the core of our way of life. That includes self-preservation, self-defense, and self-sufficiency through militant culture. Our mission is to educate the masses of people on the necessity of self. Newton Gun Club is a coalition of members from various different groups/organizations coming together in unity to practice our 2nd amendment right “To bear Arms”.

Black Gun Owners React to Supreme Court’s Concealed Carry Decision
..."Historically, the government 
worked to keep guns away from Black people or apply gun control laws specifically to us. Jabir Asa, minister of social media for the Cleveland chapter of the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, told NPR the court’s decision is a way to address the disparity.
Take California’s Mulford Act of 1967 for example. The National Rifle Association even backed it, though the bill prohibited the open carry of loaded weapons, a move directed toward the Black Panther Party.
“We have already seen historically that when you go on any kind of gun-grabbing campaign, the only people with guns are the kind of people who would never worry about the legality of having them in the first place. And then you find yourself in a position where you’re vulnerable to fascists,” said Asa, via NPR."

Before Despair
I see a lot of online lefty people -- especially young people -- fall into a kind of common pattern: 
1. They learn about a systemic issue in our society in detail for the first time, and they are, being good people, appalled; they start talking about it, online and probably off. 
2. This brings them into contact with other lefty ideas -- the fact that sexism still exists leads them to discover systemic racism leads to the realization that capitalism is bad actually, and so forth. They become more vocal, more insistent something must be done now. 
3. As time passes and sweeping change doesn’t come and progress is tempered by setbacks, their tone grows more alarmed, and then slowly begins to turn defeatist. Soon they do not believe that it is possible to make change through activism and elections and instead there must be a revolution. And so they post angrily about the revolution and the need for it and the lack of it and they take our their fear and anger and frustration on other people online who believe something not quite the same as what they believe.
This is, for the record, bad. It’s a trap. And if you’ve fallen in you need to get out.
In some ways, the idea of “revolution” has become a kind of talisman for leftists locked into this pattern. The idea of all this going on indefinitely is unbearable, but the problems are so enormous that actually changing them seems impossible. 
But “revolution” is a concept that seems like it could potentially be a match for the horrible injustices in our world. And so they cling to revolution. Because what else can you do. 
And...look, if revolution is your coping mechanism, I don’t want to rip it away from you, but to most of us, the idea of revolution is rather plainly laughable. To briefly outline why:
1. The billionaires of the world are never going to let you take their money without force, so there will absolutely be a war. 
2. The other side will have most of the guns, training, money, resources, and people on their side (because I hate to break it to you, but most people are not communists or socialists).
3. Even if by the magical properties of wish fulfillment you win, it will only come after years of bloodshed that has collectively traumatized an entire nation and left the country wildly unstable. You will also be ruling over a civilian population that does not support your regime, because again: most people, not communists.
So revolution is off the table. It’s done, it’s not happening. The end. I’m sorry to have stolen the political nightlight you use to bash other users over the head, but it was necessary. Because while the idea of revolution was making you feel better, it was getting in the way of you making the world better.
So before you give into despair, I want you to pull up a new tab, right now, and type the name of your city or county into Google, followed by one of the following: “Democratic Socialists of America”; “conservation groups”; “Big Brothers Big Sisters”; “public library volunteers”; “court watchers”; “clinic escorts”; “homeless shelter volunteers”; “Black Lives Matter group”; “Redneck Revolt” and/or “Huey P. Newton Gun Club”; “mutual aid”; “immigration court support”; “community garden”;
-- and if nothing else comes up or you don’t like any of that, figure out who runs your local Democratic party and ask for the date and time of their next meeting. It is extremely easy to take over most town or county-level Democratic party organizations by simply being someone who regularly shows up to meetings. 
First and most importantly for anyone who cares about the rest of the world, this stuff will make an actual difference for real people in the real world. The world will be better after your volunteer shift than it was before it in a way that it never will be after an equivalent amount of time spent on Twitter posting funny memes and/or yelling at strangers. 
But second, this will also make you feel better. Because doing good makes you feel better. For those of us whose sanity is largely dependent on the knowledge that things are okay out in the world, regardless of our personal circumstance, the past few years have been rough. This will help, I promise. 
And third, doing stuff like this will make you more integrated into the community. Which means that if shit ever does hit the fan, you will be in a position to help a real revolution or a real resistance. 
No one is going to ask an anonymous tumblr user who posts about revolution to hide undocumented children in their basement, but they might ask the lady who does immigration court support every month like clockwork. No one is going to DM a faceless Twitter account asking them if they can help track national guard patrols in the city, but they might ask the kid with the BLM pin who does shifts at the community garden. 
You get the gist. 
Revolution is not coming, and if it does, it will not look like a utopian pipe dream. It will look like blood and war crimes and dead children and dead comrades and things not going according to plan because that’s how real life works. 
But change can happen. Because the world might be too big for you to fix -- and if you have not internalized that truth, please do so now -- but it is not too distant for you to change.
So do not withdraw to wrap yourself in delusion. Engage, and make things better in whatever ways are possible for you.

the notion of the vanguard party, if it was ever anything other than a misstep, seems to have outlived it’s usefulness. certainly it has in the west and especially the united states- can you imagine the PSL leading the revolution? no? what about bob avakian? even more absurd?
i mean, can you even conceive of a scenario in which any of the marxist parties in the US who’s trying to be The Vanguard actually does it? no of course not. it’s utterly unthinkable. and their attempts to fill that role of The Vanguard has resulted in nothing but pointless infighting.
and even beyond the context of the united states and imperial core more generally, there’s reason to believe the time has come for rejecting Vanguardism- look at the development of People’s Multiparty Democracy by the Communist Party of Nepal- while we certainly can and should reject the reformist path they’ve taken, their success in showing the potential in moving Leninism beyond vaguardism shouldn’t be ignored, and could easily be applied in a revolutionary scenario- forming not a vanguard party but rather a revolutionary multi-party revolutionary coalition between multiple communist parties, including a wide range of marxist and other communist tendencies.
interplay between different parties within the broader coalition will allow for the coalition to be more dynamic and more capable of evolution and responding to changes in condition than a one-party vanguard could hope to be, while also diffusing intra-leftist conflicts into the electoral system which might otherwise threaten to give counter-revolutionaries an opening to undo the progress made. if Maoists and Hoxhaists and syndicalists and Luxemburgists and whatever other factions want to tear each other apart to determine the nature of a new socialist post-revolutionary society, let them do that in the national assembly and not in the streets.
and going further, the time may have come to look not only beyond vaguardism but beyond the party-form entirely, and perhaps even beyond “tendency”- social movements like Black Lives Matter and gun clubs like the SRA or the Huey P. Newton Gun Club have done way more to play the role that marxist parties like the Black Panther Party played in the past in terms of mobilizing discontent against the racist colonialist capitalist system and establishing networks of armed community self-defense and mutual aid than any of the 5 person ML and MLM splinter groups each desperately struggling against each other for the chance to be the vanguard party.
as things play out, it seems likely that a post-revolutionary future would involve a national assembly in which many people affiliate primarily not with ideologically unified political parties, but rather with ideologically diverse loose affiliation groups like BLM, with these groups overlapping and with many representatives/voters affiliating with multiple groups at once.
the party-form as we knew it isn’t irrelevant, but as conditions evolve it becomes increasingly clear that it simply isn’t going to play the same role it once did, and marxist-leninist parties are going to have to wake up to that reality and start forming revolutionary coalitions with not only other marxist parties but also broader leftist organizations toward the establishment of a revolutionary form of people’s multi-party democracy.

By M. Odom
Recent studies show that the masses of youth are embracing socialism. This turn towards socialism has been matched with calls for armed self-defense. Chants such as “Fist Up! Fight Back!” and “Black Power Matters” guide the masses at demonstrations. As well, groups such as the Huey P. Newton Gun Club and Guerrilla Mainframe have sought to train the masses of the African Working Class. This is the true legacy of 1919 — socialism and self-defense.

[ image description is man with full short black beard below his chin. He is wearing a grey hat, a red thick necklace around his neck, a dark faded blue shirt with a horizontal stripe of different paint platters and colours across the chest. He is standing in between trees and greenery. His facial expression is somber. ] 
“Balogun, who was working full-time for an IT company when he was arrested, has long been an activist, co-founding Guerrilla Mainframe and the Huey P Newton Gun Club, two groups fighting police brutality and advocating for the rights of black gun owners. Some of the work included coordinating meals for the homeless, youth picnics and self-defense classes – but that’s not what interested the FBI.
Investigators began monitoring Balogun, whose legal name is Christopher Daniels, after he participated in an Austin, Texas, rally in March 2015 protesting against law enforcement, special agent Aaron Keighley testified in court.
The FBI, Keighley said, learned of the protest from a video on Infowars, a far-right site run by the commentator Alex Jones, known for spreading false news and conspiracy theories.
The reference to Infowars stunned Balogun: “They’re using a conspiracy theorist video as a reason to justify their tyranny? That is a big insult.”
Keighley made no mention of Balogun’s specific actions at the rally, but noted the marchers’ anti-police statements, such as “oink oink bang bang” and “the only good pig is a pig that’s dead”.

Rakem Balogun thought he was dreaming when armed agents in tactical gear stormed his apartment. Startled awake by a large crash and officers screaming commands, he soon realized his nightmare was real, and he and his 15-year-old son were forced outside of their Dallas home, wearing only underwear.
Handcuffed and shaking in the cold wind, Balogun thought a misunderstanding must have led the FBI to his door on 12 December 2017. The father of three said he was shocked to later learn that agents investigating “domestic terrorism” had been monitoring him for years and were arresting him that day in part because of his Facebook posts criticizing police.
“It’s tyranny at its finest,” said Balogun, 34. “I have not been doing anything illegal for them to have surveillance on me. I have not hurt anyone or threatened anyone.”
alogun spoke to the Guardian this week in his first interview since he was released from prison after five months locked up and denied bail while US attorneys tried and failed to prosecute him, accusing him of being a threat to law enforcement and an illegal gun owner.
Balogun, who lost his home and more while incarcerated, is believed to be the first person targeted and prosecuted under a secretive US surveillance effort to track so-called “black identity extremists”. In a leaked August 2017 report from the FBI’s Domestic Terrorism Analysis Unit, officials claimed that there had been a “resurgence in ideologically motivated, violent criminal activity” stemming from African Americans’ “perceptions of police brutality”.
The counter-terrorism assessment provided minimal data or evidence of threats against police, but discussed a few isolated incidents, notably the case of Micah Johnson who killed five officers in Texas. The report sparked backlash from civil rights groups and some Democrats, who feared the government would use the broad designation to prosecute activists and groups like Black Lives Matter.
Balogun, who was working full-time for an IT company when he was arrested, has long been an activist, co-founding Guerrilla Mainframe and the Huey P Newton Gun Club, two groups fighting police brutality and advocating for the rights of black gun owners. Some of the work included coordinating meals for the homeless, youth picnics and self-defense classes – but that’s not what interested the FBI.

Statistics on individuals with permits to carry concealed handguns
Individuals with permits to carry concealed handguns (CCW, CCH permits) are the most law-abiding individuals in the country, according to new report. Find a bulleted summary below. You can read the report for yourself here.
Despite the expectations of many after the 2016 elections, the number of concealed handgun permits has again increased. In 2018, the number of concealed handgun permits soared to over 17.25 million – a 273% increase since 2007. 7.14% of American adults have permits. Unlike surveys that may be affected by people’s unwillingness to answer some personal questions, concealed handgun permit data is the only really “hard data” that we have on gun ownership across the United States. Still, an even larger number of people carry because in 14 states people don’t need a permit to carry in all or virtually all those states.
Concealed handgun permit holders are extremely law-abiding. In Florida and Texas, permit holders are convicted of misdemeanors and felonies at one-sixth of the rate at which police officers are convicted.
Permits continued to grow much faster for women and minorities. Between 2012 and 2018, the percent of women with permits grew 111% faster for women and the percent of blacks with permits grew 20% faster than for whites. Permits for Asians grew 29% faster than for whites.
Tumblr media
Keep this in mind when people tell you only white men are interested in gun rights or in carrying concealed firearms. Women, and racial minorities see the biggest growth in the rate of concealed carry permits. And increasingly members of the LGBT community are looking to concealed carry permits to defend themselves from an increase in hate crimes under the Trump Administration.
Also bear in mind that with ~8% of the U.S. population possessing a permit to carry a concealed handgun that this is a massive special interest group who is passionate about their individual rights. Don’t take it for granted that gun control is a winning position. I think the gun control crowd has definitely made strides in their attempt to stigmatize gun ownership, but it need not necessarily be the case. There is a powerful case to be made for gun ownership through a traditionally leftist lens. The joke is that if you go far enough to the left you get your gun rights back. You can check out gun rights groups like Pink Pistols, the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, and Leftists for Self-Defense and Firearm Freedom for a good collection of left-of-center group that advocate robust protections for gun rights.

Ohhhh okay. What about just supporting gun control n stuff? No mental illness databases but just wanted guns banned or having it be harder to get them?
that's debatable. obviously wanting gun violence to not happen is punk. imo, that's achieved through taking full advantage of the second amendment. specifically, through the establishment and community regulation of diverse militia. i think that we can learn a lot about what to do from the black panthers, as well as both the crips and the bloods before their memberships devolved into open warfare (assuming the propaganda is based on truth. I've never been to LA). i think that we can learn a lot about what not to do from the various Irish republican armies, and gangs like the crips and the bloods in their later years.as an anarcho-socialist, i don't trust the government, the military or police, to disarm me. or to do anything else. as a punk, i acknowledge that all liberals, whether progressive or conservative, are members of the establishment, and distrust them implicitly.for a modern example, look into Redneck Revolt, the John Brown Gun Club, the Huey P Newton Gun Club, or Trigger Warning. they're worth checking outi know a lot of people who advocate gun control think that they're advocating a stop to gun violence, but how do you think the government is going to take away guns from a group of black people who're trying to protect their community?tl:dr; i don't think that the answer to gun violence will ever be state sanctioned gun violence. i think it's a community of people banding together to teach people how to use guns, and how not to use guns. think NRA pre-civil rights movement~mod Civ
