For all your bluster, you still cant resist leaving that one downvote can you?

Working as intended. Having the government overpay tenfold for goods and services is neoliberals favourite method of converting public funds into private profit.

Or I can tell the difference between "making jokes" and "pushing far-right propaganda using jokes".

Sure, and that's a systemic issue that needs solving or it will only get worse as people join specifically to kill and oppress minorities.

But guns are still no solution and anyone promoting them as one is clearly just parroting gun lobby talking points without actually thinking them through.

If Ahmaud Arbery had a gun within 20ft of him, everybody involved would be walking free.

But beyond that, when exactly was he supposed to open fire on police and how do these gun advocates expect that to play out? The moment a minority uses a gun to defend themselves from police, they're as good as dead. The best case scenario is decades in prison.

And if all minorities started doing it? Police executions would skyrocket -- including for unarmed people -- and we'd never see them convicted again.

Okay, so you wanted spoon feeding instead.

There are far-right Discord servers where they praise mass shooters that target minorities.

The most popular topic of discussion is "how to make more people more racist" and the most common suggestion is "memes", since they appeal to kids and are what started most of them down their path of dogshit.

It's not a joke.

The down side is that it gives white supremacists the same excuse to execute minorities in the street as the police use.

If guns actually helped oppressed and abused minorities, America would be the safest place in the world for them. Instead, they're routinely hunted by domestic terrorists, almost all of whom are legal gun owners.

The reality is that the gun lobby figured out that you can sell hero fantasies to leftists too.

Why do we allow so many terrorists to own guns?

Gun lobby: "$500 is $500“

I suppose if you're going to lift your dogshit opinions from people like Andrew Tate, it makes sense that you'd also LARP as them on the internet too.

I hate to break it to you, but he's not really a trillionaire like he claims. He's just a rapist who is desperately overcompensating so he can pretend his father's abuse was good for him.

I don't know if you're 12 and think that's what cool looks like or a genuine adult that hasn't realised what sad fucks your far-right idols are, but it's genuinely embarrassing to watch either way.

Of the 19 comments you've made in the last 24 hours, only one of them has a positive score.

But hey, it's not my glass house, throw all the stones you want.

It is a tragic story, but given your post history includes things like:

it is now time for the 2nd amendment to be actually enacted by a well regulated militia who protects the constitution as the 2nd amendment laid out

... it's hard to accept that you're asking in good faith and not just trying to push the idea that gun control doesn't prevent mass shootings, especially when the information is right there and we're unlikely to know any more than you do.

Thanks for removing all doubt that you're a fucking idiot with the political views of a fucking idiot.

Its right there in the post.

Sure don't then. You openly admitted it was an accident, you just wanted to share the story so you could call trans people "retarded".

We both know what would happen if you deliberately misgendered him and flatly refused to use his actual name because you decided your take on them was more important than their identity.

But you won't, because he's not on your list of people you consider it socially acceptable to be a cunt to.

And do you ever intentionally misgender cis people and refuse to use their legal names because they don't measure up to some standard of yours, or do you reserve that shittiness for trans people exclusively?

We do, through threads like this.

And then there's you, leaping to the defense of an irresponsible gun owner with lies and misdirection.

The child received a "deep laceration" and was taken to hospital, far beyond a "slap". The police didn't hold the man responsible because there was no need to and that's how it works. He still faces potential charges, including possible jail time.

But I'm sure he appreciates knowing your warm mouth is waiting for him when he gets out.

It's important to remember that the far-right does strategize like this, like an abusive partner planning revenge on an ex.

Do you know what the most common topic of discussion is in neo-nazi chat rooms? It's not how much they hate minorities, it's how to get other people to hate minorities just as much as they do.

Unsurprisingly, popular techniques include memes, pretending to be moderates or "leftists", blaming progressives for people becoming neo-nazis, signal boosting content that reflects badly on "undesirables" and of course their current favourite, pretending those undesirables are sexual predators or support sexual predators.

Which is why nobody is demanding guns are thrown in jail, they're demanding laws that make even a token effort to minimise the risk to the public.

But the pro-gun community responds with vapid "guns don't kill people, people kill people" talking points, fed to them by a gun lobby that doesn't care what kills people, as long as the profits keep soaring.

Legal gun owners kill people, with guns.

They make up 80% of mass shooters but when you ask the pro-gun community what they're going to change to stop legal gun owners doing mass shootings, they proudly boast "nothing" -- they're content to keep selling guns to blatantly dangerous people and letting people die.

Children are killing themselves in record numbers using their father's legally owned guns but when you ask the pro-gun community what they're going to do about poorly secured firearms, they proudly boast "nothing" -- they want to keep guns in gloveboxes and bedsides lest they miss their chance at a "get out of murder free" and they don't care if criminals and kids get their hands on them.

And of course, every week there's a new story about a legal gun owner doing something stupid with a gun but when you ask the gun community what they're going to do about stupid people with guns, once again they proudly boast "nothing". They'll double over to suck their own dicks because it wasn't them but they won't budge an inch to ensure "responsible gun owners" are actually responsible.

So fuck em and their second amendment. They've been insisting they had all the answers for 20 years and they've fixed exactly nothing, so I've got no idea why they're welcome in the conversation at all, let alone dictating when it can happen and what can be discussed.

If they throw a tantrum about their rights, fuck em still. Statistically they've repeatedly voted to trample the rights of others and even if they haven't, their guns did nothing to stop it happening, despite what we were promised.

If they want to follow through on their threats to become domestic terrorists, fuck em even harder. It shows they were never as far from firing on innocent people as they claimed and if they want to die in a hail of bullets, at least it's them dying for their guns for once.
