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
An empty house is not a public space where the public is allowed to enter without consent. So this is a terrible analogy.
A bike is not public property that the public is allowed to ride off with without consent. So this is a terrible analogy.
Dining and dashing is not a public right that the public is allowed to do. So this is a terrible analogy.
You may disagree with the constitution or with how courts have consistently interpreted the constitution over the last 100 years, but the Supreme Court has consistently decided that being able to carry a gun in public spaces is a right. I certainly don't agree with allowing people to carry guns everywhere in public, but that is the law we have.
How do you know a house is not a public space? How do you know a bike is not public property? How do I know the restaurant expected me to wait to pay? We know because by default you do not have permission to do these things without explicit permission. The rights of the owner supercede the rights of a random member of the public by default. Private property law applies even if they private property has a public use.
We have a right to freedom of religion. That doesn't mean I can erect a cross on the front lawn of a McDonalds just because there is no sign saying I can't.
The court defends gun rights here in a way they would not defend any other constitutional right.
