Fully agree, the Government of Putin will copy the strict Russian gun laws.

Cuckservatives

It was never about the 2nd amendment. It was all about restricting gun ownership for “the ideologically wrong people”.

Just look at how they came down on the Black Panthers in the 60s, and how “stand your ground” laws work in wildly disproportionate ways to serve only only white cis people.

It’s a racist and bigoted strategy that has absolutely nothing to do with “rights”, except for the selective restriction of them.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 33 minutes ago

It is not even that. It is all about the money. Seriously, the 2nd amendment is a marketing ploy at this point.

There are as many guns in the US as their are people. No one is restricted from getting a gun unless they are purchasing at a gun shop.

I swear the whole racist bigot angle is also marketing to get dischenfranchised groups to buy guns at this point.

Marketing Exec: Where do we tap the next gun market? Oh yes, the gays, liberals, and women.

It is a fucking joke on us at this point.

Take the guns first, due process later

To everyone who needs to know the current price of 64GB of RAM is about $500-$600 dollars. The price for a basic AR-15 is $400-$500 dollars…

[–] YeahToast@aussie.zone 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Are you suggesting I can save money by installing an AR-15 into my computer? Helps with immersion I suppose.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Ya…sure…something…like…that…

[–] ToTheGraveMyLove@sh.itjust.works 15 points 16 hours ago

Bunch of fucking cucks they are

[–] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 121 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's fairly straightforward: they don't want restrictions placed on their rights to own and carry a gun, but they absolutely want restrictions placed on the rights of their political enemies.

[–] Rolder@reddthat.com 37 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

And people of color. Or rather, especially for people of colot

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 27 points 19 hours ago

A reminder that's exactly what Reagan did in California, with NRA support. The Black Panthers started to arm themselves and cop watch and that couldn't be allowed clearly. California gun control really started with Reagan.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Their political enemies:

Uh.. let's check with what Trump said last, raise or lower taxes? Take away or give guns? Drugs bad or good? Cartels bad or good? War bad or good? Raping kids bad or good?

Who are our enemies anyways?

Ooh I know. We still hate anyone who says people should be treated equal and or fair.

[–] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world -4 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

Wrong community.

Also they like it when they do it because it means they'll prevent minorities from becoming armed.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Its a shit meme, I'll allow it

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

???

Why is it the wrong community?

[–] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world -3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

This is just a regular political meme. A good one but still wrong by category.

Your post is not unhinged enough to belong here.

[–] vinyl@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Is the community name unhingedpost or shitpost?

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

It's most certainly a shit post. It belongs here.

Sorry if it hurt your snowflake feelings.

for my entirely too long life, Rs have been "States rights", one of the few issues where I agree with them.

2025, and here we are. Rs are pro-Russia, against States rights, and now this? Reagan will climb out the dirt and go on a rampage like a kaiju

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 7 points 18 hours ago

They aren't pro russia. They are anti-woke, like russia.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I must have missed the news. What is Trump doing now regarding the 2nd amendment?

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Last I heard it was after the Alex Pretti killing. He was beaten without ever drawing his legally obtained firearm he had in the small of his back. During the beating, ICE found the firearm, disarmed him, and then proceeded to execute him in the street. After the killing, a bunch of room temperature IQ Republicans said he shouldn't have brought his legally obtained (gonna keep stressing that) firearm to a "peaceful protest."

If there's anything else along to their apparent effort of pulling back on the 2nd Amendment, well, I haven't been informed.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Let's not forget that he's the only president to ever float the idea of a gun ban, and that was in his first term. Take the guns and figure out due process later.

It was negligent of Harris not to bring that up every chance she got.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 20 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

not to bring that up

I havent seen much of the debates and campaigns and whatever, but between the rapes, pedophilia, money laundering, Russian ties, an actual rap sheet with like 30some felonies and the dog-eating was there much opportunity?

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 19 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

She was trying to get Republicans to switch their vote, so it would have been way more effective on them than those other things.

[–] MrVilliam@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I hate how right you are about this. They wouldn't give a shit if the Epstein files revealed that he was eating human babies drenched in cold ketchup, but he threw around the idea of taking gun rights away from a suspected wife beater until adjudication? For the safety of the wife? Preposterous. Vote Jeb instead!

Dems need to stop trying to court the right, but if they refuse to stop that, this is what they need to try. "Republicans want to take your guns, conduct more world policing to send your sons overseas to die in the quest to steal more oil without even lowering your price at the pump, and take away your healthcare and use those tax funds on immigrants. This isn't the America First you were promised."
And yeah I know that they're fine with how their tax funds are being used on immigrants, but if you're vague and don't explain exactly how those funds are being used on immigrants, they'll assume that it's being used to help them instead of kidnap them.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 3 points 7 hours ago

Exactly, go after the things they're afraid of instead of the things they celebrate. There's a reason why Waltz calling them weird was so effective.

Relevant key and peele skit where obama has a meeting with republicans

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 11 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Is this a new development? Having trouble finding the context.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 6 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Not sure if there's been anything more official or recent but I definitely remember hem talking about guns shouldn't be allowed near protests after Alex pretti got murdered by ICE

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You should cross post this to a political meme sub.

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago
[–] MajinBlayze@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Looking at what gets posted here, they did.

Given enough time, all communities become politics communities.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago

Snowflakes melt when that get too close to the heat.

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 22 hours ago

Always has been this way look at Reagan and the black panthers.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Context? (Apart from throwing Alex Pretti under the bus)

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 22 hours ago

The second half could just change "my" to "their" and it would still be apt.

[–] Klear@quokk.au 1 points 1 day ago

Well if he's in I'm in.
