It'll be neither. Now that the upper class is affected, they'll be lobbying hard for strict gun control. But hey, archery still exists...

they’ll be lobbying hard for strict gun control.

This is America. No they won't.

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

Turnip banned guns at his rallies and his boot lickers didn't care much at all.

If this starts becoming a thing where rich fucks face mob or lone gunman attacks, you can guarantee they will make laws banning guns in "freedom zones".

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

Almost all blue states have strict gun control laws thanks to racist white Republicans, see Black Panther Party in California.

That's what makes it so wonderful. A madman has taken the keys, and his platform is built by crazies who idolize guns more than their own children. You could no sooner remove gun culture from America than you could alcohol or cheeseburgers.

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

Man, that time American politics tried to remove alcohol from its culture was fuckin’ wild

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

This is America theyll lobby it for everyone but themselves

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

They already have it in States like Washington.

CEO's will buy upper body armor and write it off as a business expense.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty sure grapeshot cares not for their armor.

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

The killstick that got shinzo woulda worked with or without armor.

Please lobby for gun control.

I know a few guys who are into red hatwear.... With a lot of guns who might not enjoy that very much.

so you want the guns taken?

No, I want the pot stirred enough for us to take our country back.

Millions of Americans are like you, sitting on the couch hoping the conditions will be perfect tomorrow so they can finally do something.

It's been eight years since Trump was elected, and longer since Citizen's United. You're not going to do shit. Stop cosplaying a vigilante for internet points.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

I'm surprised Trump's repeat assassination attempts didn't trigger something. Although it would be funny if the Republicans were the party to introduce gun control laws, perhaps the irony is just too much for them.

But hey, archery still exists…

And if that gets too much heat, a slingshot takes much less space and can also be deadly with the right projectile

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

A sling with just a little bit of training can put out a lot more damage than a slingshot and it's literally just a rope and a rock. It's harder to aim but that's what the backyard training is for.

Humans have been killing each other for [reasons] since before we even evolved into humans, if somebody is determined to do it, you're not realistically going to stop them by depriving them of weapons. Our bare hands are deadly weapons. It'll get done somehow.

Yeah the story of David and Goliath becomes a lot less impressive when you realize David showed up with a Bronze age Glock.

And it's way easier to get a compound bow than a gun, and not that much harder to learn.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

A good deal harder to conceal though

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Is that a compound bow in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Harder to hide a compound bow on a subway though.

It's not as hard if Comicon is in town.

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

If they ban Comicon the intersectionality will be crazy

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

Steampunk Legend of Zelda would be a great cover.

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

Crafting functional firearms is way easier than people think.

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

Especially if you only need the gun to work once.
