Safelite repair, Safelite replace.

He has a vague resemblance of Luigi

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

I don't see it. Luigi never touched a firearm in his life

This is why I think a bunch of the ICE harassment is in Minneapolis right now. A city where no open carry is allowed.

Open carry of handguns is allowed with a permit, and Minnesota is a "shall issue" state, so it's easy to get a permit.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Correct for Minnesota, but Minneapolis has city ordinances that outlaws it.

Ironic that Democratic policies are hurting Democrats.

Fuck the dems, we need an actual pro-gun leftist party.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (6 children)

I always tell people when you get far enough left you end up back in the pro gun camp.

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary

  • Karl Marx

I always describe myself as an "under no pretext" gun supporter rather than a "shall not be infringed" supporter.

Note that the one at the top is a non-resident of the area coming in from somewhere else to protect property from people

And the one at the bottom is a chapter of locals protecting people from federal agents

That’s the story he told to escape justice.

He actually went to murder people.

[–] Master167@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This illustrates a point in legal discussions that I don’t think lawmakers consider. “What would your opponent do with these powers?” If they did, there would never be an escalation of authority.

It's why I await a new Democratic president with the authority from the Supreme Court to have full immunity.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As if a Dem would actually use that authority to enact progressive legislation…

[–] _Nico198X_@europe.pub 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Or hold fascists accountable

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

What are you talking about? They wagged their finger and wrote strongly worded letters.

[–] _Nico198X_@europe.pub 8 points 1 month ago

Biden had that and did nothing with it

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The SCROTUS decides what qualifies. If Republican SCROTUS, Republican president is fine to do whatever and a Democrat one is not. If Democrat SCOTUS, they will say the president does not have immunity regardless of political party. So only Republican presidents will ever benefit from it.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

So you can be disappointed for 48 consecutive months while they use that power to entrench fascism?

Democratic leadership just negotiated more money for ICE in the latest funding resolution.

There may be an ok democrat here and there, but the core of the party is rotten.

[–] phx@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If I had a restaurant I'd be offering these guys a free coffee and dessert along with a "no ICE" sign.

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What if they just want cold water with ice?

In January??

[–] RumorsOfLove@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago

two types: the classical libertarian who wants to protect their community against looters or pigs the nazi

Can you say “Mulford Act” and Gun control Act of 1968?

The one time republicans and the NRA were for gun control (and let’s not forget that the republicans had an entirely different stance to begin with regarding firearms until that bastard Harlon Carter decided to politicize guns) was when black people armed up. The Mulford act was specifically designed to disarm the Black Panthers.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oakland has stricter-than-usual gun control laws to this day because of the Black Panthers. The solution, of course, is to simply get the guns in a neighboring area where it's easier to do so.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, having a gun free zone right next to a gun restricted one is kind of pointless (See US/Mexico border).

It is almost like we would need for all the states to work together to create gun control laws. Maybe they could like federate into a single government body that would be in charge of these regulations and not beholden to special interests.
