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.

MODERATORS
Can you demonstrate that it has happened?
And I never said anything about banning anything.
Do you know what a hypothetical question is?
It's a 'hypothetical' you keep bringing up in relation to something that actually happened.
And I still never said anything about any bans. Were you going to acknowledge that?
Clearly - the point is that guns are a tool used by tens of millions of americans to mainly provide food and protection for their families.
Not unlike knives.
Just because you don't use guns, doesn't mean they aren't useful or even pivotal in other peoples lives. I'm not a carpenter, but if there was someone getting killed with a hammer, I don't call for hammers to be banned. It's a tool used in other peoples livelihoods.
You responded to me in a chain of comments about banning guns. If you didn't want to talk about it, why'd you respond to it?
I responded to your repeated silly "hypothetical" about a thing you can't demonstrate actually happens in response to something that actually has happened many times. If you don't want to be criticized, don't compare the reality to your imagination.
Okay, so you don't know what a hypothetical question is.
"A hypothetical question is one based on supposition, not facts. They are typically used to elicit opinions and beliefs about imagined situations or conditions that don't exist."
HAHAHA verbatim, dog. All you did was prove you don't know what a hypothetical is.
I know exactly what a hypothetical situation is. I also know why it's silly to use one in comparison to something that has actually happened many times.
Now you do. You're welcome.
Yet again, your use of a hypothetical is the problem. Or do you think hypotheticals always work for any argument?
