    I am very happy to reach out on your behalf to any of the groups I posted. There are often folks that will help with training on the range. DM me if you like.

        A hipoint pistol can be had for about a hundred dollars. I’ve definitely been in a place in my life where a hundred dollars might as well have been a million. So I get it, I do. But if you can swing it, a cheap pistol throws lead just as fast as an expensive one does.

        The firearm would be at the range run by the group, either SRA or JBGC or Blazing Sword

        SRA is a good organization. However they are apparently fractured and their politics may not align. https://socialistra.org/

        https://www.blazingsword.org/ is better for LGBTQ+ anarchists that tend to not get along with Tankies.

        A more decentralized option could be a John Brown Gun Club https://www.counterextremism.com/supremacy/john-brown-gun-club

        DM me and if you show up to one of the ranges, I’ll donate ammo to them on your behalf that you can use. Usually there are courses where you can show up unarmed and they will give you training and gauge your interests and motives. Also I implore you to let yourself take up space and to accept help however it may come. You don’t need to go to a gun range to find solidarity but there are many people out there that would really love any time or presence you can give. Showing up to a rally or a protest is free. Be well and remember that you are deserving of attention. All aid is mutual, all you need to do is show up.
