This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Hmm...

This is some combination of right-wing gun-toting and sexism. A very.... wonderful combination.

Both the "locks away guns, guns are always empty except on the shooting range or hunting, safety conscious" person and the "gets drunk every evening and sleeps with a loaded gun under their pillow" person are actually totally safe as long as they uphold the number one rule of gun safety: "The barrel of a gun may never be pointed at a person". Super hard to shoot someone unless you are Angelina Jolie or James McAvoy or one of those bullet ricochet superheroes. Of course it's a useless rule since it is simply stating the obvious. But that doesn't seem to stop people from repeating it.

You repeated it?

In any given year, more than half of all gun deaths are suicides, so really it should read...

Go back inside

Shoot self

But how would they type it?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago

They are a bad shot

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago

So much potential greentext, wasted.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

this is why we need to regulate wives

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago

I'd say we should just outright make homicide illegal so we don't have to be sexist about it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

We kinda do, there are legal requirements for marriage

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

yeah, fuck men though, they can stab as many men as they want, as long as they're in a gay relationship.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fake. Anon doesn’t have a wife. That would involve talking to a woman.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 23 hours ago

And gay, for he got impaled from behind.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Be British

Go to the United States

Don't Get Blown up in a Cybertruck

Don't Get Shot up in a mass shooting

Don't Get Robbed shirtless by a home invasion

Don't Get Scammed broke by a crypto-coin shill

Do find the one person in the entire country who insists on doing knife crime

Marry her

Get stabbed to death

Post about it on 4chan

most gun owners are safe and cautious

I know some of the most brain dead takes that my friends with guns do. Some gun owners are absolutely crazy when it comes to gun safety and storage.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Another take, I am super on it with gun safety, but not storage. There are never minors allowed in my home, and a gun isn't useful unless you can get to it easily and it's ready to go. Only guns resting inside the safe are unloaded, all the guns that work for a living have loaded magazines and a round in the chamber (I don't own any 1911 pattern guns, if I did, they would not be chambered.) Also, no exposed trigger, everything is in a holster.

The number of people who openly admit to coworkers that they have couch guns scares me

Exceptions are rare enough that there’s only like one mass shooting a week!

[–] [email protected] 72 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (17 children)

In 2022 or 2023 there was one mass shooting for every day of the year. Anon was simply in the wrong place.

Looks like they're on track for another great year of mass shootings!

So she was "standing her ground?"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

See that is the problem.

All gun owners should be completely cautious and safe. That is why you background check them thoroughly.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

Could just be a story about a man getting pegged by his wife
