I'm a confused American (didn't really see the spoon part very well), I Googled, I saw this same meme being discussed on r*ddit. Ripped the comment explaining minus a video link.

Not my words, I didn't even read it all tbh, just thought this guy seems to know what he's talking about. ¯\(°_o)/¯

A California man was found with 1 million rounds of ammo and 248 illegally owned guns in his house, state authorities say in c/[email protected]

This is a gross oversimplification......laws can be passed just to grab money, power, resources. Or just on a whim. 2 examples come to mind: the Boston Tea Party & the United States Library of Congress making cell phone unlocking illegal. The Americans weren't begging for a tea tax (and they sure as hell didn't vote to bring about change). And idk if you're aware of this obscure little blip in history: James Hadley Billington, Librarian of Congress in 2012, decided to make cell phone unlocking illegal. I was fresh out of college....and an 83 year old man unilaterally passed a law telling me what I can & cannot do with my smartphone. Nobody asked for this, to borrow your terminology, it was unpopular. There were petitions I signed. Do you have any idea how infuriating that is?? The LoC JHB was so old, he's dead now. Obama said the law couldn't be repealed (???????) 🙄 Eventually 2 years later it was, but it was a wild wtf type moment.

To be fair to Mr. JHB, you look at his record & it seems like he/his team accomplished a lot of good things during his service. He just really, really fucked up in 2012.

I don't know how productive further discussions will be; we appear to take very different positions on law, authorities, government, right & wrong. ¯\(°_o)/¯ Have a good night

What is going on? in c/[email protected]

Public speaking isn't easy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think I would briefly explain the concept for the benefit of anyone unfamiliar, and I would remove the "I guess" part from the front. My area didn't have an Aldi's until...idk. I want to say 2009. So it's old enough news to me, but maybe there's some people that have a Kroger/Walmart/everything else.
