Is there an actual group pushing for that? (I'm pretty sure I remember a decade or so back there being an arm the homeless group, that put out santa's etc... though didn't actually accept donations. (Their actual goal was common sense gun laws, and they knew the people who are pro-gun would argue strongly against it shooting their own pro-gun arguements in the foot).
#libertrians #armtheHomeless The homeless are one of the most at risk group to authoritarian violence including, but not limited to, police. There is at least one campaign in my region looking to collect firearms that you don't need anymore to donate them to the homeless.
Lol yes, because armed resistance against the police always works out well... Legal or not...
Crazy homeless folks in my area keep picking up felony gun possession charges so it's apparently not that hard to arm oneself.
A Libertarian candidate for the US Senate back in 2018 proposed giving shotguns to homeless people for self-defence.
Wow, and it wasn't Vermin Supreme
