a single armed person is enough to keep police in line. now imagine if half of a 5000-strong protest is.

this is why the 2a matters.

pretty amazing that, given the demographics, approximately none of the jan 6 rioters/protesters/shamans/whatevers were armed with rifles.

if this had been a real coup attempt...

gun control is why hong kong no longer has free elections, a free press, or due process. they had to fight well-armed authoritarians with nothing but lasers and umbrellas.

"no citizen needs an ar15!"

it's 2022 and bathtubs still don't have thermostats (nor half the flats in berlin)

remember that time lady gaga got them to air "fuck her face" repeatedly for months on broadcast radio and tv uncensored

the world population is now moving away from facts, a reversal of a centuries-old trend. i think the macro (thousands of years) is still fine but the local environment is getting worse.

your proposed gun control does not apply to police officers. do you really want the trump loyalists way better armed come jan 6 after trump's second term completes?

most beliefs held by most people are false

it's amazing how many objectively false things (which are nonetheless popular beliefs) gruber posts on daring fireball. apple doesn't do any shady union-busting, gun violence is only an american problem, cryptocurrency is only used for scams and fraud, et c.
