Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You are a moron. Fullstop
Bro, you offered a theoretical and I turned it on you. That doesn't make me a moron and honestly responding in such a way kinda makes it seem like you can't support your argument so instead you lash out.
Removing guns from society is not theoretical you dweeb
It is because it is only theory at this point.
You've gone off the edge sir, regain your composure and we can try this again if you'd like but random insults and general asshole behavior ain't finna do it bud.
lol fuck off get the hell off your high horse.
this is a practical solution, this is a practical conversation. using a theoretical about the parallel you (foolish) brought up doesn't change that shit especially when you dive into this comparison chemicals and substances are banned and illegal and that does make it harder to obtain and harm people with.
using a metaphor doesn't make a conversation metaphorical buddy.
guns should be banned or at least so heavily regulated moreso than now and your stupid little acid angle ain't the meat you think it is kiddo
You should take your own advice bud.
I didn't bring up a theoretical you did.... I made a comparison Or arguably a metaphor.
Hey you got it, it's certainly closer to a metaphor than a theoretical as there are in fact more acid attacks in India than the US and honestly more than most other countries.
You mean the thing I advocate for and told you about exactly one comment ago?
Lol we're on the same page, don't be so angry you can't see the forest for the trees.
Fuck off you're literally too stupid for this that's why everyone downvoted your idiocy buddy.
Still unreasonably mad even though you know I'm for reasonable gun control, neat. You just want to be mad it seems.
lol classic accuse the guy of being mad sure bud
All you've done for three comments is insult me, if that's not being unreasonably mad I'm not quite sure what is.
why are you yelling?
And gaslighting, you finna go for the trifecta of shitty Internet argument styles?
We're in agreement, what is your point at this point.
lmfao fraud ass shut up. see how dumb it is to accuse someone of yelling or being mad? shut your shit up
No no, your clearly not mad and super level headed.
why are you yelling
Adorable
