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!

And there it is, the same disingenuous that the right uses for thier bullshit causes.
A pool has no use, you cannot use it for defense or putting food on the table. A firearm is a utility that has purpose. Fascist are literally snatching people up off the streets and you're still arguing why no one should have firearms.
It's not disingenuous in any way shape or form.
You have basically said that children killed in gang shootings don't matter. Try not to throw right wing shade around when you're parroting their racist talking points about which people do and don't matter.
Lmao, bruh, it's this niche little exercise called swimming, you might have heard of it. Try and pull your head out of your ass before pointing us to all the examples you have where ICE has been stopped by people with guns.
It absolutely is.

Gang violence is not a gun issue. It's a educational, safety nets, and jobs issue. Aka social issue that doesn't magically get corrected because you banned guns.
Also GTFO with the racist shit. I'm a minority and it's a dog whistle for you to say "the facts don't matter, cause it's racist". Shit doesn't get better when you deflect like that. Tough conversations are required to solve tough issues.
We're not at the start mill ICE phase yet. We still have judges blocking shit. You don't start a civil war just because shit is getting bad.
Omg, so the US is the only country that ever experienced a lack of jobs?
Oh no! How I could be so stupid and forget that the US is a unique special snowflake child that doesn't experience any of the same pressures of literally any other country on earth!
Grow the fuck up amerocentric child.
Way to ignore the other parts... I can see reading comprehension is not a strong point of yours.
Considering that we lack most of what the other western countries provide for their citizens...yea we are unique.
Assuming you're not even American at this point...stay in your own lane, our issues are not magically yours.
I'm Canadian, where 90% of illegal guns are smuggled up from the US.
Your mess is fully in our lane.
You have very few guns being snuggled into CA. It's probably less than 2k a year considering the number caught at the boarder is under 1k. You're issues of gun crime which is hilariously low and on par with euro states is not a major issue. Our mess is not in your lane at all.
Swimming is literally the best excersize out there. A pool is useful for staying in good enough shape to actually fight.
You can do other exercises that don't have the ability to kill children though, that's the point.
No kids are gonna drown in my pool. It's tiny and has a locked cover.
Ok cool, no kids will die because of my firearms. What's your point?
