Those “assault weapons” account for around 150 deaths a year. That’s suicides, cops killing people and all others. They’re in common use and this ban will have zero effect on our gun violence. It’s grandstanding ignorance passing this law.
Yep, and this is why I don’t understand the Dems doing this shit. Like a large portion of your base is quietly getting armed. So parading around gun control is just political suicide right now.
Yea I forgot how there is an amendment for law darts.
And law darts shouldn’t have been banned…dumb people will hurt themselves over bubble wrap if they can.
Because 95+% of gun violence is via handguns and not the scary black rifles anti-gun groups say.
Why…just why?..Dems are just asking to lose midterms. Stop fucking with gun control shit and focus on the goddamn fascist in power.
Spend your political capital on shit that’ll actually make a difference in not just gun but our overall violence numbers.
Raise the minimum wage
Increase education funding
Hire and pay teachers more
Stop techbros from planting DCs everywhere and firing their workers.
End the for profit prison systems
Get single payer healthcare passed
Kick ICE the fuck out of your state
End the war on drugs, which targets minorities the most
Enshrine abortion rights into law
Create proper safety nets for our most vulnerable citizens
Strengthen worker protection rights(unions)
Repeal anti-lgbtq+ laws
There is sooo much they could focus on that would solve our violence in general, but they go for this shit which just pushes away single issue voters and has others scratching their heads wondering wtf they’re doing.
Maybe if you don’t do shooting sports…but I’m assuming since you’re on a .uk instance you’ve never been near a firearm.
In the USA, we have a lot of shooting sports that are not single shots. They’re about speed and precision. Check out 3gun or IDPA.
Way to many anti-gun people do not understand what you just said.
You nailed it though. Good to see someone else here on lemmy gets it.
Pretty much every mass shooting has been done with handguns.
Black plastic rifles, which are in common use, are just the scary thing that anti-2a groups latch onto.
This legislation will do nothing to stop gun violence because almost all gun violence is done with handguns.
No you said you’re ok with LOTR, which describes killing and gore, but you’re not ok with sex. So yes you did say that.
It’s not just classic cars, cars from the 2000s have rubber fuel lines as well.
So you’re ok with books that describe killing and gore but sex is off the table?
The second old.reddit goes away, I have a feeling a lot of people will jump off reddit. Probably why they haven’t killed it yet
Just wanted to say, Nora is awesome! It’s trillian for social media crap.
Naa we really don’t need a president, many of the founders were against it. Worried about another king or consolation of power.
What’d ya know…only 250 years later and they were right.
Add onto that, the fact that upper management is 4 or 5 people deep as well. Basically more management than workers.
Ukraine. “The” is not needed. It would be like saying “the France” or “the Germany”.
%100 this will not go well for the US ships.
And off-site…and physical…

It’s already stable and $30 for the amount of content already is worth it. I’ve got almost 20 hours with 2 other friends playing coop on it and having an absolute blast so far.
