Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

To kill yes, wound no. Bullets don't magically aim themselves at vital organs.
if you're trolling, I congratulate the bit
if not, holy shit dude, get a grip
Ikr imagine being this dense,
This dude has got to be trolling, it always amazes me how some people lack the ability to think

If you're hit in the torso, there's a strong chance that you're dead if you don't get immediate care. Lungs, heart, liver, kidney, stomach, everything is in there. You don't need to magically aim. And this isn't a conversation of accuracy in automatic vs semi automatic. Thats a stupid strawman argument of bringing up something completely irrelevant. You're being pedantic. There would be dozens more dead if the guy had a gun instead of a knife. And you're a fool if you believe otherwise.
No it's not. Firearm injuries far outnumbered the homicides

15k~ homicides vs 115k non-fatal injuries.
Killing someone with a firearm is not as easy as the media likes to portrait it.
Oh, the guns aren't lethal. IT'S OK EVERYONE, THE GUNS ARE SAFE! SOME FUCKWIT TOLD ME SO ONLINE, WE WERE ALL WRONG!
I guess this fuckwit hit a nerve...
Yeah buddy knife injuries far out weigh knife deaths too. It's the severity of the deaths and injuries, and if you have intent to kill you're going to kill more with a gun
What organ isn't vital? I am pretty sure if you shot any part of my body I could quite easily die from it. If not directly from blood loss or infection. It isn't like evolution gave us random spots that are safe to be hit.
First, infection isn't even needed in this scenario, you don't die from infection in 30 seconds.
Secondly, the majority of people who are shot with a firearm via violence do not die. It's not even close. In numbers.
Third, firearms unless they hit you in the heart or head is not going to immediately kill you. This is why in war most of the casualties are injured and not death.
Answer the fucking questions you are being asked not the ones you want people to have had asked you
Name a non-vital organ. Some part of the human body that if shot can not result in the death of a person.
Liver, kidney, lung, stomach, arms, legs, want me to go on? Or do you need a human biology lesson to understand that you can lose a lot of shit before you die.
Last I checked, you kinda need lungs to breathe. And also last I checked, arms and legs aren't organs
You can live with one lung..this isn't rocket science.
