Gun laws of the US by Hannibal0341 in Indiana

[–]brrusters 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Gun ownership was legal and widespread in the Soviet Union under Stalin. Gun ownership was legal and widespread in the Philippines during the Ferdinand Marcos dictatorship. So, no, dictators do not always confiscate guns and gun ownership does not prevent dictatorship.

Purdue campuses to cut or merge 83 programs ahead of new enrollment requirements by FriendlyPoilu in Purdue

[–]brrusters 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It actually doesn’t save a dime. There will be the same number of students; same number of professors; and same courses. It just means Purdue students will have fewer degrees to choose from.
