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.

Gun owners: if police can murder you for having a gun, you don't have the right to have a gun.
I mean, evidence shows they'll shoot you whether you're armed or not, might as well be able to shoot back.
What can't police murder you for?
Being white and male.
Edit: just want to add an /s I dropped.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Daniel_Shaver
I wouldn't bet my life on that.
you'll lose it anyways, so you might as well
Daniel Shaver would like a word.
You are completely right on that one. I had totally forgotten that incident.
As a rebuttal, I really should have put a /s for sarcasm. My comment was based on the disproportionate amount of these incidents happening to minorities and people of color.
And white ~~terrorist~~ errr I mean kid, Kyle Rittenhouse....
The irony here is that the gun put him in danger instead of adding protection
Tell it to Russian protesters. Before they were drafted. Or poisoned. Or imprisoned. Or being shot on bridge near Kremlin. Or poisoned and then imprisoned. Or not protester, but 20-years old programmer who was beaten to death for jogging. Or woman who got force abortion by her stomach being kicked with reinforced boot.
Tell them what? Be specific so there is no misunderstanding.
That if they had guns they would be in more danger
They just needed a few good guys with guns walking down the street at the same time to help out.
They don't even care about gun rights if you're white and a Democrat. Look at how the NRA is not even saying a peep about Hunter Biden's gun charge.
