It'll be neither. Now that the upper class is affected, they'll be lobbying hard for strict gun control. But hey, archery still exists...

they’ll be lobbying hard for strict gun control.

This is America. No they won't.

Turnip banned guns at his rallies and his boot lickers didn't care much at all.

If this starts becoming a thing where rich fucks face mob or lone gunman attacks, you can guarantee they will make laws banning guns in "freedom zones".

Almost all blue states have strict gun control laws thanks to racist white Republicans, see Black Panther Party in California.

That's what makes it so wonderful. A madman has taken the keys, and his platform is built by crazies who idolize guns more than their own children. You could no sooner remove gun culture from America than you could alcohol or cheeseburgers.

Man, that time American politics tried to remove alcohol from its culture was fuckin’ wild

[-] Nindelofocho@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

This is America theyll lobby it for everyone but themselves

CEO's will buy upper body armor and write it off as a business expense.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 13 points 8 months ago

Pretty sure grapeshot cares not for their armor.

[-] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

The killstick that got shinzo woulda worked with or without armor.

[-] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Normalize Splatoon guns

Please lobby for gun control.

I know a few guys who are into red hatwear.... With a lot of guns who might not enjoy that very much.

so you want the guns taken?

No, I want the pot stirred enough for us to take our country back.

I'm surprised Trump's repeat assassination attempts didn't trigger something. Although it would be funny if the Republicans were the party to introduce gun control laws, perhaps the irony is just too much for them.

But hey, archery still exists…

And if that gets too much heat, a slingshot takes much less space and can also be deadly with the right projectile

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago

A sling with just a little bit of training can put out a lot more damage than a slingshot and it's literally just a rope and a rock. It's harder to aim but that's what the backyard training is for.

Humans have been killing each other for [reasons] since before we even evolved into humans, if somebody is determined to do it, you're not realistically going to stop them by depriving them of weapons. Our bare hands are deadly weapons. It'll get done somehow.

Yeah the story of David and Goliath becomes a lot less impressive when you realize David showed up with a Bronze age Glock.

[-] Ceedoestrees@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

And it's way easier to get a compound bow than a gun, and not that much harder to learn.

[-] TheMinions@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Harder to hide a compound bow on a subway though.

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social 5 points 8 months ago

It's not as hard if Comicon is in town.

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 4 points 8 months ago

If they ban Comicon the intersectionality will be crazy

[-] Ceedoestrees@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Steampunk Legend of Zelda would be a great cover.

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago

Crafting functional firearms is way easier than people think.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Especially if you only need the gun to work once.
