I wonder, do any of you think Trump would change the gun law if his son was killed in a school shooting?

It is said we don’t realize seriousness of stuff until we go through it, so maybe? But knowing Trump, idk

[kasaron]

Many of the Senators who were literally shot at in a shooting immediately stated that they were still against gun control, and one of them was pissed (and went on record of being pissed) that he had been forced to be defenseless, since he (and many of his aides) legally was allowed to concealed carry a firearm, but due to a caveat in the rules, was barred from doing it during the shooting’s occurrence. 

[unclebeanbag]

This is why I hate David Cross. He says he hopes Republican Senators kids die in a school shooting.

I was shot. Did not change my mind on guns. Won’t really change theirs.

[kasaron]

I’ve had a gun waved at my head by a (very apparently mentally afflicted)person I found out later was likely an armed robber and horse rustler. 

I fed him soup, quietly unloaded the gun he had, and then asked him to leave. 

The reason me and my friends weren’t robbed (and I was able to remain calm) was because we had enough firepower combined to overtake a small country. 

We literally had someone roasting weenies with a Mosin Nagant (bayonet affixed) next to someone cleaning a SCAR-L. 

Being armed likely saved my life, and I didn’t even need to draw the gun. The knowledge of the threat of imminent and very violent and inglorious death was enough. 

[siryouarebeingmocked]

It’s kind of interesting how so many folks seem to think that politicians should determine which laws they support, laws which affect tens of millions of people, based on whether the politician has been personally affected.

[desperatelyseekingdennis]

I think it’s less that than the assumption that politicians have no principles. You also see it in the “NRA paid for your votes” talk. That the NRA supports candidates that already support gun rights isn’t even a possibility as far as they’re concerned.

[hominishostilis]

Anti-gunners: The Constitution is a living document! It’s supposed to evolve with the times!

Me: So the 2nd amendment does apply to modern rifles

Anti-gunners: wait no not like that

[doctorpsycho1960]

So therefore we have to figure out how to apply the Second Amendment to modern ordnance.

That’s what the term “living document” means.

Wealthy families used to own their own cannon, and wheel them out in times of trouble.

People aren’t allowed to own private nuclear bombs, though, or even to mine their own land.

If you think the Second Amendment allies to any weapon you care to keep and bear yourself, unregulated and untrammeled, try posting this sign on your door:

Tell you right now, folks: standing on a pile of dead children and clutching your AR-15 to your chest, insisting your gun is a good gun that would never hurt anybody, is the quickest way to get the Second Amendment, not just well-regulated by Federal law, as the overwhelming majority of Americans want, or partially amended, as a growing segment of the population want, but repealed completely.

I repeat: repealed completely.

Think it can’t happen?  Keep on pushing it and see.

#Politics  #Culture  #History  #Second Amendment  #Well-Regulated Militia

[hominishostilis]

My guy, it already applies to modern firearms. There’s no ifs about it.

People who make this argument, comparing nukes and sarin gas - which a person cannot defend themselves or their home with, they’re not designed for personal defense - to guns, specifically ARs which kill less people than blunt objects and knives, never cease to amaze me. It’s not difficult to see how the two are wildly different but they try anyway. What’s more they try to paint people who defend their rights as simple nutcases, “clutching their guns to their chests”, a privileged ass perspective by people who’ve never had to defend their lives or homes.

The term well regulated has never and will never be a qualifying clause of the 2nd amendment, who’s language distinctly separates the militia from the rights of the people it spells out in plain English. Sorry not sorry, anyone who thinks “well regulated” means “regulated by the government” is a damn fool who saw the phrase and immediately took it out of context to mean whatever ambiguous reference to government control they could think of. Thems the facts. Read any of the founding father’s writings and you’ll find the term well regulated means something more akin to well stocked, well armed, sufficient access to needed supplies, etc. Never has it been used to define the terms of the second as “well regulated by the government”, until idiot gun grabbers got a hold of it.

Also lmao, threatening to “repeal” people’s rights? Rights that aren’t granted by the 2nd amendment in the first place, only recognized as existing? “If you don’t agree with us, we’ll just take them?” There’s that fascism every grabber always finds their way to, eventually.

I hope you’re willing to die in order to strip my rights, because I’m willing to die to defend them.

Fuck around and see.

[doctorpsycho1960]

I notice that you completely evaded my central point, which was about as subtle as a cannon on the front lawn.  Instead, you just play silly word games and then threaten to kill me.

But evidently your answer is that you do think you can just keep on pushing your luck indefinitely, no matter how many atrocities are piled up at your doorstep, and you will never be held to account for them, you will always be able to claim you bear no responsibility for them.

Okay, roll those dice and see what happens, then.

#Politics  #Guns  #Murder  #Dead Children  #Gun Safety  #Gun Regulation  #Gun Laws

[hominishostilis]

Evaded? I dismissed your “central point”, because it’s an empty platitude meant to emotionally manipulate.

“Word games”, mate you’re wrong and you want to pretend it’s a matter of semantics? I mean there isn’t a single factual argument in your entire diatribe and you’re upset because I pointed out that you don’t know how basic English clauses work? Is your ignorance somehow my problem? Should I hold your hand and walk you through it again or do you think you can stumble your way to the point without bumping into something?

“Threaten to kill you”, lmao so the guy who’s demanding the stripping of my rights “or else” says I’m threatening him by saying I’ll defend those rights? Who’s playing word games? Who’s pretending they’re being victimized because you demand something from me and I simply said “no”? Don’t play this game with me, you’re going to have a bad time.

You’re absolutely right! I’m not accountable for what criminals do. I’m not accountable for what other people do. I’m not accountable for the misuse and abuse of our freedoms that others CHOOSE to perpetrate just because you want to collectively lay the blame at the feet of the law abiding people of this country, you absolute fucking jackass.

It’s amazing though that you actually posted a political cartoon that (inadvertently) points out how a media propaganda campaign is being actively waged in order to scare younger generations into voting away their rights, though.

Love it when morons brilliantly illustrate how brain dead and gullible they are.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

>Tell you right now, folks: standing on a pile of dead children and clutching your AR-15 to your chest, insisting your gun is a good gun that would never hurt anybody, is the quickest way to get the Second Amendment, not just well-regulated by Federal law, as the overwhelming majority of Americans want, or partially amended, as a growing segment of the population want, but repealed completely.

Who wants to tell them about the times gun control has been used to disarm populaces so they can’t protect themselves and end up oppressed, ostensibly in the name of safety?

I also want to point out the irony of how Doc says pro-gun folks don’t have convincing arguments, but thinks “give us what we want or we’ll take guns away entirely” is a persuasive argument. The obvious counter is “If you’re threatening us NOW, how do we know you’ll stop? There’s this poem about a Danegeld….”

RE: Doc’s comic; >one of the Columbine survivors became a politican who’s against gun control<. Not to mention how “one school shooting a year” is a terrible basis on which to screw over millions of people.

Oh, and last time I heard, Democrats consistently lose elections when they go pro-control. Even with the Organic™ MFOL in their corner, >they’re still iffy<.

[wewswc2]

This is ChavMod reporting in from the British Gulags, today’s piece is this wonderful comparison and contrast of the Democratic Republic of Best Korea VS the United States of America.

It is clear for the main message of this piece is to attack America comparing it to the systems of Communist North Korea. With Trump apparently a tyrant and having similar if not same systems as Kim Jong Un.

Here’s the problem with this piece: If the message is that; America is as bad as what is being portrayed. Why is it that North Korea has everyone wanting to get out but everyone wants to get into America? This alone completely contradicts the message this presumably negative assault on Trump and the US Government. The fact America has people wanting to come in shows it is a much desired place to be even with the ‘dotard tyrant’ (even though he was democratically elected :^).

Chinkmod: North Korea also “democratically elects” their leader too. Leader. Singular. Not plural.

[libertarirynn-deactivated202006]

I absolutely love it when people who have never operated a gun in their lives threaten to take people’s guns away.

With what bitch, strong feelings? And if you say “regulation” who do you think is going to enforce that regulation? Armed police right? And there are a hell of a lot of people who will not willingly give up their guns so any attempt at forced disarming will result in lots of bloodshed and if that’s what you’re advocating that you can just go ahead and stop pretending you want to save lives and stop gun violence mmmk?

[siryouarebeingmocked]

I like to ask them “how many people are you willing to kill to keep everyone else safe?”

They never answer.

[theindependentconservative]

I just ask them what their current gun laws without looking them up during the conversation.  No one’s been able to answer me yet.

Trump’s White House Turns Its Laser Focus to Solving “Reverse Racism” in Higher Ed

In the middle of a truly banner week for the White House, it seems one of their priorities is… opposing affirmative action programs at universities.

[triggeredmedia]

Affirmative action is the definition of racism.

Harvard just had a Black only graduation.

Several universities are segregating their dorms.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

Needless to say, folks, the only time anyone uses the term “reverse racism” in the article is when the author uses it in a clearly mocking manner. There’s no actual quotes. I did find a link to >a NY Times article that talked about “reverse discrimination”<, but, again, editorializing.

And, curiously, it talks about discrimination against “people of color” and says not a single word about the alleged bias against Asians. Harvard is being sued right now. Also;

> Of course, the “problem” of discrimination against white students applying to universities that this project claims to attempt to address does not exist. In fact, white women are the group who has benefited most from affirmative action policies as a whole.

Maybe that’s because they’re women, not because they’re white. As >the very article you linked implies<;

While people of color, individually and as groups, have been helped by affirmative action in the subsequent years, data and studies suggest women — white women in particular — have benefited disproportionately. According to one study, in 1995, 6 million women, the majority of whom were white, had jobs they wouldn’t have otherwise held but for affirmative action.

Not to mention how this autostraddle blogger is linking to stats for affirmative action in jobs and colleges in a discussion specifically about affirmative action in colleges. 

And, of course, the study referenced is 23 years old. There are many people who weren’t even born when it was published who are now graduating college.

[theindependentconservative]

More importantly Affirmative Action would be better based on a combination of socioeconomic/merit based scholarships.

[yourladyindank]

with illegal immigrants, why everyone acting like regular prisoners dont get separated from their children too?? or do they want kids in adult prisons?? :\

Because they appeal to feeling, not fact

[siryouarebeingmocked]

The implicit logic is “the kids get hurt as a result of the parents’ actions, so the parents shouldn’t be punished at all.” Even though that would lead to illegal immigrants having kids just to escape punishment.

[theindefinitejames]

But they already do. It’s called ‘anchor babies’.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

Well, yeah, but in the US the parents have to wait a decade for “relief from deportation” (Wikipedia), and only 4,000 people per year get it.

WORKING CLASS SOLIDARITY

[maingorlblog-deactivated2025052]

My dad told me recently that the most important public health workers are garbage collectors and janitors. So much of our health relies on a clean environment. These people do some of the most important work in society. If we learned in dirty public environments full of garbage, we’d all be sick. I cannot thank these people enough for the valuable work that they do.

when correlation is not causation

[siryouarebeingmocked]

Maybe the second part has something to do with the media desperately trying to link Trump to white supremacists all the time, which made them politically relevant to a presidential bid for the first time in decades?

Or maybe it has something to do with antifa giving those groups more attention than they deserve?

Or both?

EDIT: Aaaand blocked. Because  inanimatecarbongod is a coward, apparently.

I’m starting to wonder if there’s someone who passive-aggressively goes around PMing OPs about my posts. Maybe it was the antifa remark that pushed it over the top. Let me just…
