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.

Huh wonder if he minds personally being slammed to the ground causing bodily harm? Maybe some 2a people can do something about that?
Why would they? I'm sure they are happy with the result. A minority got fucked up and a cop was protected. They're practically creaming.
There are a lot of us on the left, more every day, that are quite big fans of the 2nd amendment.
Fair enough. I am one of those honestly and enjoy the range when I go. When someone talks about 2A people I generally take that as far right 2A at all costs crazy types
TBF I mainly say it because I know left wing 2a folks probably wouldn't, highlighting Trump's violent rhetoric to his supporters. Though I should make that obvious in my posts lol
Just to be clear over 1 million Americans have died from gun violence in the last twenty years. We lose on average over a thousand children a year as well. In Japan they lost 0 children to gun violence this year and the year before it and so on and so forth.
So be a big fan of widespread death under the guise of 2a rights. Just don't pretend to be leftist once you have been shown the truth.
Perhaps I should phrase it differently. In a country with more guns than people, where the majority of people have easy access to guns, I am glad to be able to arm myself in order that I may protect my loved ones or even, should it come to it, to fight against a full descent into fascism.
To keep on believing they make anyone safe is beyond logic at this point. I get your feels but they are dead wrong on this topic.
I wish it wasn't the way it is. But we have to work with the world we live in. Nobody will ever have access to our guns to hurt anyone, and with our country falling into whatever this mess could become... I'd rather go down fighting than get hauled off to a camp.
All I can say is keep them locked and secured which apparently you do.
They have trigger locks. There are never any young children in my house.
I love how the "well regulated militia" just gets ignored. The intent of the second amendment is clear, but we've decided any old moron can keep and bear arms anyway.
