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.

Because it's just another scare tactic. We know there are some dangers having firearms around.
That's why we want to make sure the goverment isn't the only people allowed to have them. First comes registration, then confiscation, then the tyranny.
Andy Weaver, the Branch Dividians, the Black Panthers, Native Americans, Mexico, the Philippines, Hawaiians, Germany, Japan, Spain, England, Canada, and Italy have all resisted the US government with arms.
But OK, you're going to keep 'em in line with you're pew pew pew. Meanwhile that danger that you acknowledge is real.
The Black Panthers one is particularly ironic given the NRA's full-throated support of gun control laws in California (passed by good ol Ronnie R. when he was governor) that happened once black people started arming themselves.
And nothing has changed. Never forget Philando Castile. The only reason they feel empowered is because the ones who actually want to take guns from "certain people" happen to agree with them ideologically.
STFU. Gun ownership should be strictly limited and controlled. Fuck y'all that don't like it.
Brilliant counter argument, bravo.
Bro got very upset someone else has a different opinion
STFU
You are awesome.
Thanks. Loser.
Buddy, the "government" isn't scared of you and your buddies LARPing in the woods cheap AR-15s and tacticool gear.
Hamas demonstrated that the most advanced military occupation in the world can not stop a determined people from fighting back.
... course, Israel is demonstrating that the most advanced military occupation in the world will have its unlimited bloody revenge, so-
Hamas was also born of generations of blood feuds and escalating revenge. Generational shit.
Compare that to... (checks notes) wanting people to get vaccinated before going into public during a worldwide pandemic.
Well yeah, I don't mean to demean Hamas by comparing them to American rightoids lol
