The Ammosexual agenda is to ensure people can own any type of weapon they want, take their weapons wherever they want, and to oppose any regulations or gun restrictions designed to reduce violence. It is an agenda that wants nothing less than unrestricted gun rights, consequences be dammed.
Rid all discussions on gun violence of basic facts.
The only way the movement can succeed is if Ammosexuals completely rid all facts from public discourse. They dont want you to know how statistically dangerous it is to have a firearm in the home, dont want you to know how successful gun control has been at curbing gun violence, and theyll certainly want to distract you from the fact were basically the only place in the world where mass shootings happen every single day. Facts are the enemy of their agenda.
Distract people from the real agenda with false equivalency arguments.
Part of the Ammosexual agenda is to make guns look totally harmless they literally want to deceive you. To accomplish this theyll commit the fallacy of false equivalency and say things like guns dont kill people any more than forks make you fat so all their friends can like the comment in an online round of high-fives. But heres the fact they refuse to acknowledge: guns are different than forks, cars and hammers because when you use a gun properly and for the intended purpose, a gun always kills.
Immediately accuse gun control advocates of being liberals who just want to confiscate every gun in America.
One of the first moves in any discussion with an Ammosexual will be a claim that liberals are always trying to take all their guns away. Theyll skip discussions about universal background checks, waiting periods, trigger locks and a host of other options, and will instead paint you as some liberal who literally wants to go door to door forcibly taking away guns. Funny thing is, liberals have had plenty of seasons of political power, yet theyve never done this. The discussion isnt about abolition- its about regulation.
Convince the masses that unrestricted rights for Ammosexuals were somehow God-given.
If something is bestowed by God and not government, it makes it sound much more noble and difficult to change. The Ammosexuals have done this with unrestricted gun rights and have created a new religion falsely named after Christianity one where Jesus affirms his followers shooting up their enemies, instead of the Jesus of the Bible who commanded his followers to nonviolently love their enemies and reject violence.
And, perhaps the most concerning tactic of the Ammosexual agenda: The Ammosexual agenda continually promises they will ultimately use violence to get their own way.
I dont ever remember an LGBTQ friend promise to start shooting up the country and overthrow the government if they didnt get marriage equality, but the Ammosexuals continually promise they will do exactly that if anyone tries to interfere with their rights. Sometimes theyll be obvious about it, quoting phrases about the rights of the people to abolish the government, and sometimes theyll clothe their threats of violence in capitalized phrases such as, NO ONE WILL EVER TAKE MY GUNS! and just TRY it and see what happens buddy!
Either way, let us be clear: Ammosexuals are willing to kill a lot of people if it comes down to it.
