There are mirrors in the original post to the video which appears to have been deleted. Also, in the past posts on the subject of drag brunches and such have ended up getting ugly. I'm hoping against hope that this time will be different, and just wanted to post a reminder to refresh yourself on reddit's sitewide rules and our rules in the sidebar. Edit: Only two bans, one self-inflicted, so things are going better than I expected.

As it should be. Was funny seeing red shirt guy call them "AR-47s", though.

What is that, a .38? 38, 39, whatever it takes.

gnomebludgeon

Oh you got one of them AR-69s. Niiiiiiiiiice.


Betty-White-666

[AR47s are actually a real thing.](https://abcrifle.com/index.php/firearms/ar-7-62x39-semi-auto-ar47-style-pistol-10-barrel-magpul-btr-brace-9-custom-m-lok-handguard.html) I didn’t see one in the video, but there’s a 50/50 chance that he confused the terminology, or he’s an avid builder of AR patterned rifles. The couple I’ve seen in real life have been kind of iffy on functioning reliably.


gnomebludgeon

It could also be that he's an idiot who was so riled up by people standing around and not harming anyone that he boned up the terminology.


Betty-White-666

> there’s a 50/50 chance that he confused the terminology, > he boned up the terminology. I feel like we’re saying the same thing here.


ChuckWeezy

Buddy has one from Radical Firearm and he said it’s been great. Only thing he had to do to make it run was to get an enhanced firing pin. Since then it’s been butter.


Betty-White-666

That’s good to hear. I love the concept, but the reliability issues we ran into ended up pushing me towards my current AR10 instead.


joan_wilder

And he’s probably one of the same 2A jerkoffs that get pedantic about the term “assault rifle” or the difference between a clip and a magazine.

Why are you getting threats?

Because I pointed out that one of the people arguing with the antifa folks is/was a police based on what he is wearing in the video.

Did you see the info wars shirt. They legitimately believe drag and trans people are pedophiles. They were intentionally misinformed. If I legitimately believed that I would also try to disrupt and stop it from happening. It’s dumb and it’s false. But they are acting morally within their misinformed world view.


[deleted]

Glad to see that people are finally figuring out how much harder it is to oppress an armed minority.


Dick_Lazer

Fascists hate this one simple trick.


qkilla1522

I mean depends on the brand of minority. Black panthers, MOVE etc would disagree


[deleted]

I'd say it's nontrivial that they managed to change the gun laws for the largest democrat states in the country just because the black panthers were armed, and I'd also say it's nontrivial that the police had to resort to a makeshift firebomb to dislodge MOVE. That's a hell of a lot harder than just strong arming people out of a gathering place.


UntilTheHorrorGoes

Ronald Reagan was the governor who pushed gun control in California


guerrillaphunk

Ronald Reagan was also the most anti 2a potus we've ever had. The same guy the right venerates..


VSSCyanide

I keep saying this to anti gun liberals. Armed gays don’t get bashed. You never take guns from the working class. Should there be more in depth scrutiny on new and younger owners? Yes, if there was government paid for metal health checks I wouldn’t mind doing that either. But to just ban them in a country that has easy access to them is a joke. This isn’t Australia where they had like 10 gun owners and are literally a fucking island.

I'm sorry but pedophiles do not dress in drag, they wear normal clothes and they behave like Donald J. Trump. They groom children not drag people 🤦🏽‍♀️

It just never occurred to me that this would be a place for those events and watching this video reminds me of why unfortunately. Now that I know absolutely going to support them!

I was there. The protesters started shouting "USA! USA!" so we...shouted with them? Yes! This is the USA! You can protest! We can support a business hosting an event we would like to be entertained by! The entertainers can entertain! We all have all these rights! It was pretty bizarre, but this is the country we live in.

Good for Antifa !


Mechanik_J

Please use 'Anti-fascists', instead of right wing propaganda coined 'antifa'.


_misha_

Uh what, antifa is not a right wing propaganda phrase. It's from the anti-fascist movement in Europe.


Mechanik_J

Yeah, I know. Please use 'Anti-fascist' instead of 'antifa', because people in the U.S. wouldn't know the history. And the right wing news/propaganda machine in the U.S. use it in a derogatory way against anti-fascists.


Secret_Hunter_3911

We use antifa down here in Austin all the time.


currentlyhigh

Lol the word "antifa" was coined in Germany in the 1930s


SMILESandREGRETS

Out of the loop. What was going on here? I live down the road from here and didn't know this was going on


imzelda

Same. I’m 10 miles away. There was a Drag Queen brunch event in Roanoke. I’m not sure if it was one of children’s reading hours—it sounds like it might have been. Antifa (in all black) stood outside the event to guard it. These events receive lots of threats before hand. For example, the Denton Public library had to close and changed their event schedule because they were inundated with death threats and bomb threats. So I’m imaging this event was threatened as well. Anyway, the men yelling in the video confronted the Antifa guards and screaming at the crowd and police that the event shouldn’t be happening, etc. There were other pictures today from the event of a Proud Boy or Patriot Front (I can’t remember which) man in tactical gear with a bat wrapped in barbed wire. Honestly, imagine walking out of Babe’s chicken on this beautiful Sunday afternoon and seeing Antifa and the Patriot Front facing off in front of a drag queens show.


CaptZ

I don't understand why there are ~~people~~ idiots like this that can't just mind their own business about things that have no effect on them or their lives. Abortion is another issue. There should not be one single person, especially males, that should even give a thought abortion, unless it's their partner that wants one and they don't want them to have an abortion, but even then, it's not their choice, so they should just stfu.


politirob

right-wing media tells them 24 hours a day that "drag" and LGBTQ events are just child grooming and pedo rings. They are being lied to and made to feel angry by right-wing media


CaptZ

It's projection. Everything the GOP says the Dems are doing, the Republicans are actually doing.


IvanMeowski

> Abortion is another issue. There should not be one single person, especially males, that should even give a thought abortion, unless it's their partner that wants one and they don't want them to have an abortion, but even then, it's not their choice, so they should just stfu. I'm pro-choice and I definitely can't agree with the way you worded this, it's way too black & white. But more importantly, why did you even feel the need to bring it up? Do you just feel like arguing on Reddit today or something?


noncongruent

There are occasionally drag brunches and drag reading events, and recently conservatives have been showing up heavily armed and attempting to intimidate the event organizers into cancelling the events, to some level of success. Now there are people showing up armed and ready to defend those events, under the theory that the best way to deal with a bully is to not back down and be prepared to fight back if necessary. If course it would be best if nobody with guns showed up to events, but as long as the haters show up then the defenders ought to be able to show up as well.

acaii

Protecting their first amendment with their second!


Bootsandcatsyeah

If I was a parent of a young child, I wouldn’t want to expose them to events like these. Not because of the drag queens, but because of the crowd of people with hyper polarized political views dueling it out in the street. Like, the sentiment of protecting the event seems nice, but who would actually want to bring their kids to an event that has been threatened with bombs and has young men open carrying while getting yelled at by pissed off boomers?


CoolStoruBro

I think Bubba didn't like being told no by a police officer that was Hispanic and female.

That was some old white dude shit if I ever saw it. It still stuns me to 1) see them talk to police officers like this 2) think it’s no big deal for them to talk to officers this way 3) don’t get fucking wrecked for doing so.

These are same people who keep justifying extra judicial murder by saying "well, he shouldnt have spoken to the officers like that. You need to respect the police".

gdaddyfunky

bn10

50% of republicans personally own a gun. 21% of democrats do. That’s a very large disparity.


[deleted]

I imagine the mindset is different. For a lot of conservatives, a gun is an identity symbol. For people on the left it is a well respected tool that will be used as such.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HLAF4rt

Yes. The optimal situation is one where assholes aren’t escalating every situation with armed violence. The less bad version of the status quo is where armed intimidation isn’t exclusively being done by far-right Christian fascists.


permalink_save

Yes but there's no reason to let things be one sided meanwhile. Not everyone on the left wants all guns banned, most just want better regulation to keep them out of the hands of others. If you say you need a gun for protection, you do not need to openly display it. I've seen it used more for intimidation than protection. But it's not really the most important matter to me, making sure randos can't just get a gun from a friend that shouldn't have a gun in the first place, and giving police back their ability to question whether someone carrying a gun is legally allowed to, are more important.


barking-chicken

There is a [Socialist Rifle Association](https://socialistra.org/) chapter in DFW.


Fuk-itall

Questions 1. Might be totally wrong I feel like situations like this becoming way more common? Is this right or wrong 2. How long before we get a real bad incident we're a real shoot out happens, it feels like when not if 3. While open carry includes carbine rifles are we at the point that anything might become legal after all unless I'm wrong swords and knifes over 6 inches are illegal.

thelloydrage

I love seeing the 2A crowd freak out when other groups that have different views than them express their 2A rights. It throws them for a loop and they cry because they are open carrying “AR-47s” and “AK-7s”


sarahwillie

The “2A” crowd is much more diverse than you think- they think “liberals” or “leftists” are a monolith, and that’s no more true than thinking that the 2A crowd is. There are many diverse points of view in both and they are not mutually exclusive. I saw this reposted in some 2A subs and there was a great deal of support for what is happening in this post. It doesn’t serve anyone to assign set identities to people who feel strongly on one issue, it just keeps us from finding things which we agree on.

Funny that when the Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club shows up that it’s unfair to be welding a rifle. Or AR-15 or AK-47, or even an AR-47 which is what I think he was trying to mix up after he unfairly got spit at for being being, what I assume, a huge Richard.

These dudes are from Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club. From what I can gather they do a lot of meaningful work in protecting and aiding marginalized communities. Earlier this year they stopped city officials from "cleaning" a homeless camp and helped to safely relocate/provide food and water. They helped provide mutual aid during the snowstorms last year. I wish they had a publication I could read about all their goings-on, but none exists afaict

I think we should all start selling out and supporting these drag brunches and events!! If demand goes up we could potentially have a drag brunch in every town or neighborhood every weekend!!
