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!

And yet liberals are constantly saying, "Give up your guns!"
I'm 52. Never particularly gave a shit about the subject. Didn't touch guns because, well, they're deadly and I was ignorant. And broke.
Couple of years ago I started making real money, leaned into the thing as a gunsmithing hobby. And now I have 40+ guns. Hell, they're mostly for fun, but if the fascists come knocking, I can fight back. And I'll be damned if I give up the option to fight for my life vs. these fascists taking over the US.
I practice and learn. My fiancé's Boomer ex thinks owning makes you a tough guy. Nothing about guns makes one "tough". She's like, "You have so many more and nicer guns than him! Ha ha!" Yeah, no. (She's Filipina, new to America, new to guns. And she can shoot great now!)
And most new gun owners are women, LGTB+ and POC. They practice and learn.
I am a peaceful man, because I can make that choice. If you cannot choose peace, you are merely harmless.

Linking YouTube videos without a description is lazy.
