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.

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.

MODERATORS
Appeasing the status quo is only an option for the privileged, Clyde.
Do tell... will the pigs be siccing their Klan and neo-nazi proxies onto you first thing or won't they?
How many police and Nazis have you shot? Would you like to compare it to how many people neo-nazis and racist police have shot?
There is any other kind of police?
Yes, the ones that come after major reforms to training and accountability, that you haven't shot your way to, despite insisting that it's not just possible, but ideal.
ROFLMAO!
Do tell... how do you "reform" something that is working as intended?
It's cool, we don't need to, because you're going to shoot the problem better with your guns, the moment you've finished letting the internet know how tough and cool you are.
Probably safe to leave it for a few more summary executions of minorities and domestic terrorist attacks trageting children though right?
So your only "answer" to all of this is to render the targets of fascism even more vulnerable than they already are.
Just bog-standard liberalism, eh?
Love the gymnastics.
A Nazi and an "undesirable" are locked in a room together. You give the Nazi a gun, but somehow, magically, you haven't made their soon-to-be murder victim "more vulnerable". But if I say "stop giving guns to fucking fascists", I'm the one making people "more vulnerable".
Of course, it doesn't end there. When people ask you why the fuck you're always giving Nazis guns, your answer is "well the minority could have had a gun too, so they'd have been even, but only the Nazi asked".
But "evening the odds" by arming neither? Nope, that's unacceptable, the odds can only be evened with guns.
Sounds to me like you've been getting your opinions from racists and people who profit from gun sales and you haven't even noticed.
Except that's not what you're saying at all.
You don't even seem to understand that you are arming fascists with your tax dollars, Clyde - you don't get a choice in the matter, either. Where the fuck do you think the white supremacist support group you optimistically call police get their arsenals from?
Who do you think does the dirty work of keeping a fundamentally white supremacist society fundamentally white supremacist?
The tooth fairy, maybe?
You genuinely think you're a hero for just owning a gun don't you? Nobody is intimidated, least of all the police.
You can't simultaneously claim that the police are a white supremacist group only out to kill minorities and that selling idiots and domestic abusers firearms stops the police from being a white supremacist group only out to kill minorities.
But why bother with logic, let alone facts. That doesn't sell nearly as many guns as lying and astroturfing does.
The reason your views on guns line up perfectly with high ranking members of a group you've repeatedly claimed are unreformable fascists is because that's exactly where those views have come from.
But don't worry, I'm sure that people who want to murder their way to an ethnostate and slave economy wouldn't just lie and tell you that something that helps them is actually the only way to harm them.
Like every useful idiot, they told you something you wanted to be true and you wrapped your warm little mouth around then and swallowed without a single critical thought.
I don't have to claim that which is patently obvious, Clyde... or will you be demanding proof that the earth isn't flat next?
Which logic is that, Clyde? You can't even see the police for what they truly are - you shouldn't be harping on about "logic".
Yes, I admit it... actual leftists and right-wingers agree that weaponry (which includes a whole bunch of stuff apart from firearms) are necessary tools. We both agree that hammers are used for nails, too. Or that living creatures generally require oxygen.
Are you talking about those people you have readily admitted you will offer no resistance to? Are those the people you are talking about?
Best of luck with your gun store.
I'm a leftist, Clyde... these crates of AKs are not for sale - they are for distribution.
Whatever lies help you sleep at night but we both know you've never given away a gun, just like you've never done anything except enable mass shootings and hate crimes.
I'm not the one trying to make life easy for fascists - that's you, Clyde.
What a weird comment
Nothing strange about asking white liberals how they will be appeasing the fascists once the fascists are in power - after all, you will not be the ones they target first, will you?
... first they came for the communists
... and the pro-gun community did nothing because they hate communists.
it's a poem about nazi Germany.
I'm aware.
