    You understand that “everyone else” would be white people right? As in the exact reason that people of color and 2SLGBTQIA+ persons go to the range??? You honestly sound like a bigot.

      What the fuck is 2SLGGTQIA? you know LGBT or even LGBTQ covers all your bases right? And I’m a lesbian. We don’t need 35 damned letters everybody knows what group of people you are talking about if you just say LGBT

        It will never not be interesting to me how lesbians, including my parents, continue to be the least accepting among 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals in my experience. The number of lesbians I know who are TERFs is insane.

        But for the record:

        • two spirit
        • lesbian
        • gay
        • bisexual
        • transgender
        • queer
        • intersex
        • asexual
        • and anybody else who we missed

              Some see usage by non-native groups of “two spirit” terminology as being cultural appropriation.

                Calling yourself 2S when you aren’t native might be appropriation depending on the context but I wouldn’t consider using it for inclusivity purposes to be appropriation and I don’t think anybody else in my tribe would either.

          That’s where QUEER AND TRANS covers everything else on your “list” y’all over complicate every fucking thing.

      As a European it always amazes me that Americans think that a gun will solve their problems. Even after the problem doesn’t get solved, however many guns there are. Decade after decade. After decade.

      And yes, usually I think about some redneck white moron “on the shooting range”, but everyone can be that person it seems.

        What you think about when you picture a range in your head doesn’t excuse othering everybody who isn’t white or delegitimizing their fears.

        You would also do well to remember where white people came from… because it wasn’t America. Sooner or later Europeans are going to have to come to terms with their colonialism.

          What you’re doing is called goal post moving.

          I’m european. White people here originate from Africa. Open your mind a bit, most people aren’t from the usa.

        And as an American I just don’t want to be a completely vulnerable sitting duck if shit hits the fan here. Why do you Europeans think every single owner is an obsessed nut?
