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.

I'm the first to call out the larpers, but another angle. There are people that own, train, and do not support tyranny. Think about it, though. Would these people just suddenly randomly choose to use lethal force at the expense of their own life, to defend millions of others that are sitting on their asses in and outside America, doing nothing? Would they just walk up to a group of ICE weenies and blow them away? That would not only end their life, but put their entire family, friends, loved ones, community at extreme risk, let alone being the powder keg the Stephen Millers of the world angrily masturbate to.
Not to mention they'd be using a 10 round larper AR-15 that can only do semi-auto fire, versus possibly the strongest military force on the planet that has fighter jets, grenades, and missile-laden drones, and has already been illegally deployed in US cities on US soil.
Everyone on this planet is responsible for stopping this. Not just the few with semi-elevated defensive measures.
Maybe you would. Some of us know our local laws pretty well.
It was an example. Many states have myriad requirements for perceived safety. There is also obviously the argument that, hey, the Federal government is ignoring laws and the Constitution so F it and change the parts to enable full auto and acquire big mags. Missile drone probably still wins, but maybe other countries start helping at that point.
