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.

It’s insane to me how many people think that taking guns away will actually increase the violence.. like the people that would normally shoot up a place would suddenly become experts at building bombs and take out WAY more people.. when the reality is that those people would probably be more likely to blow themselves up trying to build a bomb.. guns are so simple to kill with, a toddler could do it. Building a bomb or something equivalent is much harder than pulling a trigger.
Name and shame em
If the polive was actually useful, then maybe getting rid of guns could be a good thing.
But as an Asian American. I know about the Korean Americans during LA Riots who had to protect their stores by themselves because the authorities didn't give a shit.
Asian Diaspora are one of the most vulnerable groups. Because a lot of us have successful bussinesses and racists are jealous and like to target us.
So I'd prefer well regulated militias than police. Especially in the context of America where cops are horrible.
The well regulated militia is now ICE. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
vehicle ramming attacks are constantly increasing. people who want to kill will find a way to kill with whatever tools they have available.
I’d choose you trying to run me down with a vehicle over shooting at me with an AR15 any day of the week.
Well I think most of the population would think guns. Judging by how we use firing squads for capital punishment and not Dodge Rams. You might be able to sell this idea to the prison/auto industries. Have you considered consulting or lobbying?
So what you’re saying is, that you believe a Dodge Ram is a more effective killing tool than a firing squad? I can’t tell if you’re being facetious or just plain didn’t read anything here.
Then perhaps we should not let those people possess guns. Or vehicles , now that I think of it.
Perhaps give them no weapons. Yes, yes, that’s it. Take weapons away from crazy people. Hey! I got it! Let’s get them into a database so we can see if they have murderous tendencies. Perhaps a test of some sort in order to own any weapons.
What do you think?
