One thing is "banning" and another is deciding what "tax money" buys. You can get any book you want, that is not called banning
So government spending should be based on religious beliefs? Because there is no other reason for banning LGBTQ+ books, you know.
I think the Constitution has a word or two about that.
so we can forcebly stop selling guns because that's "not banning"?
Yeap, the fed can stop selling guns, no problem. They are not going to takr the guns you own are they? That is what banning would be. Are they caking your books? Nope, just like they are not taking your guns.
so, if I've understood you correctly - once you buy one single gun, there is no need to buy any other gun? nor for anyone else to buy a gun as they could just use your gun?
do you envision it like one gun for the whole country? or per state? would you use like a calendly link to book the gun?
Tha fuck are you talking about? Lol. You can buy as many guys as you want just like you can buy any book as many times as you want. Or sell, just dint foce anybody to buy you book that it would not sell by itself :)
ok, don't force anyone to support a war machine they don't want. don't force anyone to support roads they don't want built. don't force anyone to build hospitals, or fire stations, or schools, or sewers, or cut down trees, or maintain a police force.
what you seem to be missing is that I'm not literally claiming we should actively do things I'm saying
I'm making fun of the ridiculous points by making equally spurious suggestions in the other direction. my intention isn't to convince anyone that my comments are the correct course of action, they are simply mocking the ideas by parroting and rephrasing the sentiment.
Not all library funds come from public tax dollars. So, assuming those books are bought with non public funds, what's the gripe there? Or, heck, what if I donate the books?
Or maybe this isn't actually about public funds... Maybe it's one group applying their subjective moral beliefs on another group, then retroactively defending their atrocious behavior as a "public funds" debate.
Shouldn't you be under a bridge somewhere?
I am, with all my homeless roommates here in San Francisco :)
So if they buy it from book sale money, it's fine?
What do you mean by "they"? What sale money?
So you aren't even aware that libraries have book sales to raise funds?
i.e. money that isn't taxpayer money?
Maybe you shouldn't make pronouncements about libraries if you never even set foot in them.

Yes you can force the government to stop selling guns bought with tax payers money. What a stupid take.
you mean the military?

Sure keep making that up in your head
