Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That 90% number is wishful thinking at best.
They think they own most of the guns because they've built a whole culture around it. What they don't realize is there are plenty of non-Rs who own guns too as a hobby or protection, but their whole identity isn't "I'm a gun owner" so they don't go around hoopin' and hollarin' that they own guns.
I mean they may own five hundred guns each but i feel like only the first couple of them actually matter. The rest are just for masturbation purposes.
It won't help them against the government. They have all the working tanks.
Honestly you wouldn't even need that. Just turn off the internet for a few hours and they'd all just disappear.
Ummm..... That isn't exactly a thing. If you did "turn off" the Internet, I'm not certain we would ever get it functional again.
Just flip the switch on a cell phone base station.
And so what if Cletus has a hundred guns. He's only got 2 hands and early onset diabetes. I like my chances.
Just see the commercials on newsmax.
They're not broadcasting to the healthiest.
Good point, I could easily out maneuver a mobility scooter.
Unless you’re on their home turf, like a Walmart
Better watch out now, Rascal makes a turbo model that'll get up into the high teens. Strap a couple AK's to one of those and you have the next Tarantino movie.
Sounds like a scene from Hot Fuzz
!noncredibledefense is leaking.
Also, left-wing e-bike technicals > right-wing mobility scooter technicals
Vegans with tree trunk legs and fantastic cardio on a solar powered technical. Basically infinite range. Modern day light calvary. Highly motivated, fighting climate change AND for america's freedom, one kill at a time.
Can still get foiled by a curb.
Starring Danny Trejo "Machete Scoots"
Machete don't scoot.
That's a hilarious visual. A mounted gun where the basket should be
