Hey guys, this thread is not going to a good place. I'll keep it up, but I'm locking it.

Dumb question: How does this work with the 4th Amendment?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 weeks ago

Conservatives don't think immigrants have rights, including the right to prove they are citizens. Therefore the 4th amendment doesn't apply to anyone they assume is an immigrant in their eyes.

Conservatives have all three branches so what they believe is what will happen.

I don't feel safe around firearms for reasons. A hunting bow for self defense seems ineffective.

Are there otherways to defend my home?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Crossbow would be better than a bow I feel. You can load your shot preemptively, like a gun, but it isn't a gun.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

I get it. Frankly I didn't want to get firearms. But the way things are going, I went to classes and practiced gun safety to the best of my ability. I just decided that it's better to have one and not need it. Than to not have one and need it. Especially if I trust myself with being responsible.

Baseball bat?

Not that are as effective as a 12 gauge, no.

bows are very effective, especially if you get some sharp arrows + you get an element of surprise, people don't exactly expect to be shot with an arrow

The sword or the explosive? Or the explosive mounted at the end of a sword? Or a sword in front of the explosive?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

yes to all of those, I'll take a dozen thanks

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

A dozen tanks coming right up!

Damn near everyone is armed

Isn’t that the idea of the 2nd amendment, to keep the government in check if they start going out of line?

[–] [email protected] 55 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Seems to be working great so far /s

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

2nd FUCKING amendment

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Most of us aren't armed. The people who have a lot of guns have A LOT of guns.

The law of conservation of guns and brain cells/chromosomes.

I know this is a big issue and bloody important. On a lighter note though, WTF happened to her face ?!

"Yeah sure, they're just down here. Right this way. Over there, in that dark corner."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yup, keep walking that way, where that plastic tarp is covering the walls and floors

Maybe they should design some easily identifiable uniform so people would know who they are on sight. I wonder if Hugo Boss is available.
