Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Thing is I know actual gun nuts, and while they may be transphobic af, they would be pretty opposed to this.
I’m talking the people who make guns their entire political and personal identity. Which comprises a not-small number of Americans.
It’s going to be telling, because there’s the second amendment types that are single issue voters that aren’t super invested in conservative politics as a whole, they just vote Republican because they see them as the second amendment defenders. But there’s also the types that see gun politics as a tool subservient to the conservative project, which is what I see as the NRA types (I grew up around gun nuts too, and plenty of them were skeptical of the NRA). So if this materializes, we’ll see who the true believers are, and who is gonna put cultural conservatism first.
some are some aren't. gun people got real mad at karl inrange and replacement southpaw for saying constitutional rights are for everyone
