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!

a firearm per person should be enough for that. A NINETY MILLION FIREARM SURPLUS isn't necessary to become ungovernable. It's become ungovernable in a civil society.
come on, tell me you don't have one shirt, one hat, some piece of FLAIR that has an AR silhouette on it?
COME ON. Don't lie. You act like it's patriotism and there's something very sick going on there.
You wouldn't defend it otherwise.
Actually it's Marxism, not patriotism. And no I dont fetish guns; I've lost some people to them. I just know what happens when everyone just sits around grumbling while fascism takes over. Now tell me how we should protect free speech for fascists and how that will stop them. Cone on, don't lie.
cone off. cone on, cone off, either way it's a stupid fucking argument. let's follow your choo-choo train of thought: how many is enough then? 500m? 700m?
how many firearms should I have access to between the shitter and the shower for safety, son? tell me you own stock in colt without saying so already.
sure bud. you can't hear it, but I'm rolling my eyes at your experience. good luck with that.
You may need it more.
Idiots conflate firearms ownership with competency. These idiots leave tens of thousands of firearms in their cars every year to get stolen.

They leave them where kids can get with them, and firearms are now the number one killer, worse than CARS.

And yet you still think the answer is more guns.
Frankly, at this point, you're arguments weak and/or pointless and your inability to articulate anything resembling reason, well, I'm glad your cows left. I hope they went on to a better place. You obviously didn't deserve their company.
False dichotomies.
lazy riposte.
I bet at the end those cows fucking hated you.
Hey man, it's nerdy, it's like how some camgirls have a dildo collection, it's culture for people with money to spare and little time to invest
bet those dildos get used by someone with proficiency and an eye toward safety.
Unlike firearms.
