What do you guys think of an "USA-News" sub?
Always those "US court decides X over weird US law, Court 2 decides Y, Court 3 decides both are idiots" littering the news.
Either way, us news is still going to be posted to news because it is news. It makes no specification on location and there seems to be far more US users than anywhere else. If you want to see other news, post it.
It's probably be a better option to make a "non-us news" community.
This is a bad news
I'm pretty sure all of the people you don't want having assault weapons in states like Illinois already have them.
I'm not so sure the ones those people dream of targeting have yet acquired reciprocal defenses.
Happy to see less guns around, but I do worry about the pre-existing distribution of them.
First, you have to start somewhere. If one person legally purchased a nuclear bomb, I don't think they shouldn't pass a law preventing anyone else from purchasing a nuclear bomb.
Second, you're not going to be carrying around any long gun. Those will be for home defence at most, likely just a range toy (and also to be shown during a protest to make sure other people know your people are armed). Maybe it'll be useful if we end up in a civil war or something, idk. A handgun is nearly as good at killing people and can be carried around easily. If you want protection from these people then you want a handgun.
yes but everyone who wanted to smoke in the 80s and everyone who wants to smoke today does- but there are only less smokers and less smoke inside nowadays because it was legislated.
change can only come through attempting change
