A 14-year-old boy allegedly fatally shot his older sister in Florida after a family argument over Christmas presents, officials said Tuesday.

The teen had been out shopping on Christmas Eve with Abrielle Baldwin, his 23-year-old sister, as well as his mother, 15-year-old brother and sister's children, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said during a news conference.

The teenage brothers got into an argument about who was getting more Christmas presents.

"They had this family spat about who was getting what and what money was being spent on who, and they were having this big thing going on in this store," Gualtieri said.

Are you suggesting to take away my God given second amendment right?

[–] Woht24 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

'God given' is the fucking funniest part about this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The part about it being an amendment is even funnier imo. It didn’t even make the original document.

[–] Narauko 1 points 1 year ago

While God isn't real, it is a colloquial term for natural or inherent rights. All of the rights acknowledged in the Bill of Rights are considered natural rights.

[–] Mirshe 17 points 1 year ago

Unironically yes.

[–] drislands 17 points 1 year ago

Missing the /s there, too many folks taking you seriously.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Its not god given and yes it should be taken away. Constitutions can be changed or what do you think amendment means?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm like 97% sure OP was being sarcastic

Thanks commander data, now go join the borg

[–] Narauko 1 points 1 year ago

Then do it. Get the 75% super majority that you seem believe exists who agree with you that the right to bear arms should be taken away, and amend the constitution.

lol you’ll need to point at the right part of a holy book and convince us that the Abrahamic god wants you to have guns.

Above poster was joking I assume

Only whites should have guns as the Mulford Act intended

[–] FlavoredButtHair 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For minors yes. Unless they take safety classes for at least 3yrs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Totally reasonable to require children to be at least 3 before they can own a gun. /s

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You need to put '/s' at the end of your post so people know you're being sarcastic.
