Guns

Please, Please, Please let the second continuation of this comic be him hearing a doorbell, grabbing some of his guns, then looking through the door's peep hole to see two Mormon's in suits holding a Bible.

How would you stop a fascist with a gun that wants to put you in a camp?

If you are lgbtq, on any mental health medication, or a immigrant as a result of natrual born citizenships then you need to realistically ask yourself this question, because that's the stated policy of the new president.

These days it's FAFO. I used to work with someone and he would shoehorn that into conversations completely unprovoked...like he itching to find any excuse to shoot someone

My I introduce you to a revolutionary new product that helps PID in a dark house:

It's called the "flishlight." They're pretty nifty!

[arcaneslime@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

It doesn't have to be! It can be fun to go to the range or competitions, you can "get your money's worth" so to speak that way! You don't have to "use" it to use it, know what I mean.

Psst, (some) Navy SEALs (and ex-thereof) shoot competitions too. So there's the mega rich celebs, the SEALs, and the regular ol' civilian that'll actually win, and 200 other people.

My advice is "show up to have fun, if you win you win."

What do you mean, by any system one is a murderer one is a burglar what's not to agree with?

[redisdead@lemmy.world]

Is a funny sentence but doesn't really apply here.

[oatscoop@midwest.social]

But don't you know statistically you're more likely to shoot yourself or a family member!!!111111 Sure, those statistics include mentally unstable people. It includes some of the dumbest people you could imagine, and people that intentionally committed murder and lied about the circumstances to avoid punishment.

Everyone knows statistics derived from an incredibly diverse population and be applied to individuals! That's just science!

How would guns have helped in the George Floyd case?

[nomous@lemmy.world]

Is this a serious question?

Do you believe armed protesters are easier or more difficult to suppress?

[naught101@lemmy.world]

I don't think that question is as simple as you think. Peaceful protest is much more likely to garner public support, at least until things are critical. And taking weapons to a protest in the US seems like an almost guaranteed way to die, one way or another. Not saying the cops are well trained with weapons, but neither are the general public.

[nomous@lemmy.world]

I've had two different very realistic dreams (years ago) where I shot someone and both of them were terrifying. It's not something I'd look forward to. It'd definitely ruin my week if not my entire month.

[1ns1p1d@lemm.ee]

I choose to.protect my body by you not having guns.

[majorhavoc@programming.dev]

Yeah. Absolutely.

[dragontypewyvern@midwest.social]

I'm sure this sounded convincing in your head.

[1ns1p1d@lemm.ee]

Its the entire argument in a nutshell yes

[bytemeister@lemmy.world]

I mean, that's what the battleaxe by my bed is for.

[bytemeister@lemmy.world]

I don't really have the space, time and money to make a hobby of it unfortunately.
