News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Maybe you should re evaluate that. Like in 'are we the baddies?' style.
//Edit-
I am certainly not saying the CEO was anything other than a bad guy. I'm talking about being anti-gun.
IE, 'if when a guy with a gun kills someone we all agree is bad, and your takeaway from that is 'yay now we can can the gun', maybe you aren't the anti-violence person you like to think you are.
Won't someone think of the rich?
Yeah, it’s bad to kill someone with a gun but it’s okay to kill thousands with an AI-enabled claims denier.
Not even slightly okay. I am shedding no tears for this asshole. My comment was directed at the user who is happy that this might lead to more gun control.
I've re evaluated. The CEO was still definitely the baddie.
Of course he was. Where did I say otherwise?
Because those kids are not rich.
without receipts or red tape. Most countries have a licensing program for firearms.
It would be trivial to mandate each state license gun owners in order to purchase firearms but we don't even do that.
I would encourage you to educate yourself. If you honestly think there is not even slight regulation of gun ownership, then you are not informed on this issue.
If someone dies and everyone celebrates, maybe they are the baddie.
Not saying otherwise. I'm saying if your takeaway is that it's good to put more gun control, maybe you should reevaluate your position on gun control.
People arguing for gun control don't deny the usefulness of guns. Cars are useful too, it's a lot harder to get a car than a gun.
