Agreed, support 2A and depend upon yourself.
So he could have shot her?
The article is about things that happened in Australia 🙄
Exactly, I bet her loved ones wished she had the right tools to defend herself. Lord knows the police won’t.
Yeah! Because domestic abuse is totally not a thing in america. Oh wait.
Eew keep your gross American opinions to yourself.
No, the 1A means I can share it as much as I want. Freedom of Speech is awesome!
The first amendment applies only to government action on your speech. It has nothing to do with your speech on a private website and it doesn't apply outside of the US (even if you'd like to think the US owns the world).
You make it sound like thats unique to the US and a foreign concept to the rest of the world.
Freedom of speech doesn't mean you won't face consequences of what you say.
Not saying it is unique, just stating my 1A rights mean I have the freedom to do so.
Only in the US, the least developed nation of the rich world.
So free speech that is constitutionally protected is a sign of an underdeveloped nation? Weird viewpoint but ok you do you.
The US is the only country with a flag on the moon, from where I live I can watch weekly launches into space. Europe depends upon us for manned launches. Our military is also more advanced than any other nation and is globally dominant which reinforces our hegemony.
We are one of the largest energy exporters (which hopefully Biden will curb, I don’t want the US exporting so much Natural Gas and oil that it drives up our ultra low domestic prices and exposes us to higher over seas rates. Preventing further global warming is a good bonus).
Did I mention that our economy is larger and is growing faster than the EU? Nearly forgot that one… https://statisticstimes.com/economy/united-states-vs-eu-economy.php
Seems like we have a few things going for us.
As an American no one cares, you're a fucking idiot, and just shut the fuck up already.
And we have the freedom to call you out on your American bullshit (that doesn't even work in the US).
The irony of you tooting about 1A, celebrating your “right” to free speech, based on your ability to post something in a forum where 1A doesn’t apply.
It’s delicious.
If only you supported education, more specifically geography, as much as you pretend to support the Constitution.
No I fully support the constitution and wish the amendments were universal human rights, not just American rights.
No thanks. You can keep your constitution. Ours isn't perfect either, but I prefer it to yours.
So you want more deaths in the world?
Well I don't.
Any country where you need a gun in order to feel safe is a shithole.
A populace with the ability to kill anyone with the press of a button isn't free or safe - it's fearful, which is a dangerous thing to be when you have a gun.
Gestures lazily at gun deaths per capita compared to the rest of the developed world.
There's also the 13th - Slavery is fine so long as we criminalise you. Why the fuck would you want this, exactly?
The deification of the founding fathers - a bunch of slave owners and the like is deeply weird. They had some good ideas... and some atrocious ones.
Odd I have your username labeled as “Gone full ******!” Check your comment history we’ve done this dance before.
Defending slavery isn't getting any less monstrous or dumb.
Lol, you never change WaxedWookie, full ****** is your thing.
I wouldn't be so quick to dish out judgment if my thing were slavery and slurs, but I'm not an obvious piece of shit, so you do you, I guess.
Just here to keep the -69.
I’ve seen what Lemmy upvotes, I prefer your downvotes.
We'll throw complaining about the calibre of people in the spaces you decide to frequent voluntarily on the pile with the rest of your dumb bullshit.
Are you stalking me Waxed Wookiee? Just an FYI, I don’t plan on paying rent for that tiny headspace of yours.
It's all about you, isn't it? Not as though I've been a presence in this thread or anything.
Best way to avoid me would be to stop posting such aggressively stupid bullshit.
Perhaps you may need your own safe space. But be assured you will find me where a Pro 2A view is needed.
People should indeed be safe from slavery - lead paint too. Shame it seems it's a little late for you on that front.
People should be safe from slavery. Convicted murderers, pedophiles, rapists and criminals who are serving a prison sentence should not.
Are you pro rapist and pediphile?
Desperate attempts at Paedo-jacketing now too? How embarrassing for you.
I'm not the one advocating for the ability to kill anyone with the press of a button, or for an 800% increase in homicides (AU vs US). While we're at it, you definitely oppose the state murdering people with the death sentence, right?
All I can say about the paedophile piece is that there's a pretty strong overlap between people pushing your positions in the way you are, and wanting to fetishise youth and return to tradition with relation to things like taking a 12 year old tradwife/slave - but that's not you, is it?
Go ahead and join the dots between being anti-slavery and being pro-paedophile and pro-murderer... You understand that you're accusing the majority of the species of these tendencies, right? That society would collapse if this were true?
Between your violent tendencies, hilariously deficient logic, and your repeated failures to spell "paedophilie", you're not exactly crushing those lead paint allegations. Never change, LOLcow - not that you seem capable of it.
That is very rich coming from the guy who has stalked me in three separate threads that were solely about 2A rights, yet constantly tries (and fails) to imply I support slavery because I support the Constitution. You must vomit soo much verbal diarrhea every day that you can’t see straight.
Now that I’ve pointed out that being anti 13A gives comfort to criminals and pedos you want to suddenly change tact and talk about guns.
Your points are worthless because you have no standards. You change your narrative and throw insults around to suite whatever bullshit story you want to tell. You are the liberal equivalent of any MAGA hack. You are cut from the opposite side of the same cloth as Jim Jordan, Marjorie Tyler Green or Lauren Boebert. The difference is Boebert is at least a useful meatsack because you can get a handy out of her.
Your over-inflated ego being so mismatched with your general deficiency is part of your dopey charm. I'm just responding to your moronic posts when I come across them - you're the one keeping notes on me, what I'm talking about, and how often. Should I be flattered? Either way, I'm not interested - I'm spoken for, you don't seem like my type, and your mental capacity leaves concerns about consent.
You support enslaving criminals - you're pro-slavery. You support policies contributing to an 800% difference in the homicide rate - you're pro-murder too. Even you should be capable of comprehending that - instead, you tie yourself in bizarre knots to paedo jacket me (but still struggle with spelling the word - keep at it, champ!). Australia is a comparatively civilised country that wants none of your barbaric slave bullshit.
Tell me more about your consistent standards when you support slavery, but insist you oppose it - really keep that stupidity flowing - you're on a roll!
Something something, hammer and nail
I love the duality of Lemmy users:
“Ohhh nooos we can’t depend upon the police!”
“Ohh nooos how dare someone suggest taking agency for their own safety ! 2A is baddd mmmkay!”
I think the overall sentiment is removing violence as an option for everyone, cops, citizens, and criminals alike
Guns as a thing in this world inherently create death and loss as a result of their existence, not in spite of it
Bark on about how your rights are being taken, maybe when you find your oppressor we can throw a gun in the mix and see who comes out victorious. Waah waah, the powers are holding me down. Let's go get the state to allow more unrestricted access to fire arms, as that's everyone's solution to everything.
Im not sure where your rant came from. I’m not trying to throw a revolution. Just trying to protect me and mine.
https://gunsafety.ny.gov/domestic-violence Go to another thread with this savior attitude.
Are opposing opinions scary to you? Do you need a safe space?
Buddy, you're the one all about the safe space in your domicile with your guns. TF i care about your trolling, you're in a thread about domestic abuse, and have no grasp on the statistics I presented to counter your high and mighty opinion.
Lol, dropping a link in a post does not constitute an argument or a counter to my “high and mighty opinion”. That is a citation.
If you can’t form a coherent argument on your own thats fine, but don’t delude yourself into thinking dropping a link is a substitute.
To be honest I'm truly bored with this discussion. The argument you've given boils down to meaningless pedantry that critiiques ones' presentation over facts, contained in the link I found quickly, with which to dispel the illiterate.
Are you still making a big deal of the link you posted?
Not one bit. This isn't rocket science, you wanna know something look it up son. Or else I'll school ya. Tootles
Before you go, I do want to apologize. I re-read your post and realized I did miss a good point you made. For that I am sorry.
“Buddy, you're the one all about the safe space in your domicile with your guns. “
I’m glad that you recognize on some level that firearms empower individuals to take agency for their own safety and protection. I realize this thought is but a small seed but hopefully it will grow in time.
But once again, you pour over my words with such vigor. Cry into your secure little end of the void.
No I’m just happy to see the seed is planted. I’ve done my part for 2A today.
