Looks like rich long pork is back on the menu, Mario brothers

Sweet I’m a hardcore liberal and I hope they liberalize gun laws so I can defend America from this fascist bullshit with a lil more firepower

100% the moment the left starts organizing with arms, they will whiplash and attack 2A rights.

Yep that’s why you gotta jump on it now before it’s too late

Buy now and bury them

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But them now and train with them. A buried firearm you have no experience with isn’t much use.

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

A fair and valid point.

Buy two and bury one of them.

As am I, thankfully they're plenty liberal in the Arizona territory, ready to yippie ki-yay on anyone who threatens my lifestyle.

Gun violence is being removed as a public health issue so the CDC can't track it. Simple as.

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

Sure, just deny the problem exists. Can't have a public health crisis if nobody is reporting it. TapsHead.jpg

Why was it a public health issue? It's a public security issue.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Because shooters probably aren't right in the head

Like Luigi?
