People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

Gotta love the amgy pro gun liberals and leftists who keep trying to theory their way out of the fact that going for a gun from a reactionary position just raises the odds you'll die in the exchange.
There is a fucking reason why even castle doctrine states will typically push duty to de-escalate, and why gun license training involves reprimanding wannabe rambos who think charging in with a glock pulled is a good idea if you realize your home has been invaded.
A firearm is NOT a defensive tool, it is a tool designed entirely for the purpose of killing, maiming, and severely injuring, the most you're going to defend yourself from is a wild animal that you caught flinching to charge you.
Also, "An armed minority can't be opressed." is something only an insane person, or a white person on red state public education system brain can say as if we don't live in a country where manifest destiny happened. The Apache didn't surrender after hundreds of years of fighting the Spanish, Mexicans, and finally Americans using just sticks and arrows.
