Why?

  1. we blow up tons of shit anyway

  2. we need to show fascists they don't own the monopoly on violence

  3. Look up operation blazing sword- LGBTQ and BIPOC folks need to arm themselves these days. It doesn't necessarily mean owning a firearm in your home, but having knowledge of firearms and a local place to organize your community to defend against y'all-qaeda sounds like an okay idea nowadays

  4. I fired a pistol for the first time two days ago and honestly it was fun

Everyone should stay faar away from anything calling itself a militia, even if it was originially done ironically. It is basically a self-fulfilling prohpecy and it will attract the wrong type of people.

If you actually want to learn, contact your nearest competetive shooting club. They usually have "open days" where people can come in and try guns while learning some of the basics.
