Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Gun worshipping? Lol, I literally have just two firearms, a pistol for carry and a pistol for home defense. How is that in any way gun worshipping? Don't even get me started on private gun collectors who hoard fully automatic firearms en masse. Somehow I'm on the same level as those people because I say you should have a firearm for self defense. Do you honestly think I want everyone to have firearms? Hell no, but I, as a level headed adult, realize that the world isn't sunshine and rainbows and that there are legitimately fucked up people out there, and here you are crying like an actual fucking child. I don't care if you think I am a responsible gun owner or not, I can definitely tell that YOU don't need a firearm though because you would have no idea what to do in a given situation like that, you would definitely be more of a harm to innocents or yourself in that situation, and that's okay! Just don't take it out of people who have saved their own LIFE WITH A FIREARM.
Four words: 3d printed lower receiver
Motherfucker are you on drugs? Did you even read what you wrote before you sent that? I have no problem with people using mind altering substances, but if you are on them then please tell me so I can stop arguing with you. It is a waste of my time and a waste of your trip.
Tell me you don't pay taxes without telling me you don't pay taxes. I bet you are still a teenager, there is no way in hell there is a functioning adult with the logic you just shat out from the anus you call your mouth.
Remember, I'm not continuing the conversation, the above is not related to the previous conversation. Everything I just stated is new material that you just brought up. Firearms are going nowhere, get used to it, you can thank the spineless democratic party for that. Great ideas but no bite whatsoever. Almost like people should vote for a third fucking party but "mUh VoTe GeT tHrOw AwAy!!!"
Cope and seethe buddy, hope you never wind up in that situation. I used to think the same thing until I got robbed the first time and had a gun shoved in my face while I watched all my shit get stolen in front of my face. Called the cops, they did nothing.
Good puppet.
Still not continuing the conversation, I see.
Where am I continuing the conversation? This is not the conversation we were previously having.
This is an entirely new conversation where you make a fool out of yourself, and I point and laugh at you.
The previous conversation was about me making totally valid points and you shitting on them with unrealistic idealism. If you lived in the real world, you would understand that the only place where idealism works is charity and your vote in regards to US politics. The fact you have it twisted is absolutely absurd to the point where I refuse to coversate with you on such topic.
Right here.
The current conversation you can't let go of started when I deeply offended you by saying that every gun owner thinks they're responsible. Every school shooter, every negligent "I didn't know it was loaded" tragedy, every last suicide, without a single fucking exception, thought at the time that they were a responsible gun owner. But since your personal identity as a Responsible Gun Owner requires that to be a title you can convey upon yourself, you can't admit that anyone who claims it can be mistaken. Because what if you're one of the mistaken ones?
Now have the last word. Unlike you, I can end a conversation without pretending to start a new one.
