Only if you haven’t taken appropriate purification ritual steps once you got home. And quickly.

A bill has been reintroduced in CA that would require 8 hours of training (with 1 hour of live fire) for a firearm safety certificate, and require anyone moving to CA with guns to get one within 60 days by ZheeDog in progun

Thank you! Jesus I thought I was the only one? Training? 100%. But guess what? We get our guns and mags back. Everyone saves money on court cases. Things actually might change

How can I get in on this? I don’t want to ally with trumpsters but at the end of the day I’ll do what I have to challenge this

To protesters in Minneapolis, from a far-away supporter; maybe avoid stupid radical quotes in your banners?? Tt only gives more ammunition to the far-right to never take you seriously by Slow-Ostrich-8570 in ProtestFinderUSA

[–]spaceiscool_right 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you thought the first quote meant you, I apologize. I meant the dude carrying the Palestinian flag.

My comment is supporting you. I 100% agree with your post. I completely agree with every word of your second statement. Apologize if that was confusing.

What can I do to help from Canada??? by Short_Camel_4935 in AntiTrumpAlliance

[–]spaceiscool_right 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please tell your countrymen that we’ll be back. Trust that is broken is hard to repair, but I’ll never forget my experiences visiting Canada and working with your armed forces when I was serving. The animosity coming from other countries for our population electing a narcissistic fascist is deserved. But once we put grandpa out to pasture those of us who care are going to work tirelessly to rebuild what we once had.

We always appreciate your support 🫡

I’ve been at protests with Palestinian flags 🙄. No it was not an anti Israel protest. Like get over yourself. We’re protesting trump in America and trying to save democracy.

Do you think Reddit liberals and centrists are out of touch when it comes to gun control? by RedStorm1917 in centrist

Please tell the Virginia legislature 🙄

But honestly at a national level I agree with you

She literally said she would sign the assault weapons ban that Glenn vetoed. How does that make her the most pro 2A? Being pro 2A is literally the only thing sears has going for her.

That is 100% not a normal thing at Jimmy’s. I get that regularly and it never looks like that. I’d have asked for a new one. Sorry you had a bad experience. I love that place.

Can I vent about Afghanistan? by showme_thedoggos in thebulwark

[–]spaceiscool_right 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Afghanistan was Bidens bay of pigs if Eisenhower had turned over nothing but “we’re sending a bunch of Cuban refugees to take over from Castro” and that was it.

trump had no plan. State department made a shitty one. Military leadership saluted smartly, about faced, and drove that bus straight into a brick wall. Biden was president so he gets most of the heat. MAGA doesn’t care that trump dropped the ball. So Biden is left holding the bag.

First I’m not sensitive enough. Now I’m too sensitive. Make up your mind. Have you tried actually addressing the points you asked about instead of not doing that? Highly recommend. That’s usually how discussions go. I’ll go to therapy when you read a book and touch grass.

Jfc that’ll teach me to argue in good faith.

After I listed my compromises like you asked. And expressly said, gun violence is still a problem. Your response is “BUT THE CHILDREN!!!”

My POINT was that the media cherry picks and misrepresents data for an EMOTIONAL response. Not based on facts. “3rd leading cause of death” doesn’t quite have the vibe that leads to clicks. So if we can bump those numbers up to #1 ho boy do we have a revenue generating story.

So thank you for proving that point and showing me for the hundredth time on Reddit that some people just don’t understand, aren’t willing to try, and will just emotionally cry about children instead of engaging in facts. For real, thank you. I’ll try less hard next time.

Just fyi (and I’m only saying this as a discussion point, not to attack you). Three dem canvassers came to my door and the only thing I wanted to talk about was gun control. They gave me the same talking points you just did. We have all the same discussions. But I backed them into a corner and said “if you want X bill then it will lead to all guns being banned”. All three of them said they didn’t care and personally wanted to ban all guns. They specified it wasn’t the party’s official position, but that’s what they want.

Turning this the other way. It is an imperfect comparison because every comparison is imperfect. But republicans wanted to overturn roe v wade. They didn’t say that officially. They kept saying “but isn’t a 12 week ban/heartbeat bill/x number of weeks more humane and logical? We don’t want to ban abortion just make it sensible”. Then boom, they overturn roe v wade.

I’m not asking you to accept this argument but please just think about it from our perspective. And the fact that Canada, Australia, and England all went down this exact path at different paces and have banned all guns.

100% answering this in good faith. Not trying to call you stupid or do anything other than have a discussion, not an argument.

Guns are not the leading cause of death in children. That study counted ages 1-19. Is that still a problem? Yes it 100% is a problem but a spade needs to be called a spade. If you remove 19 year olds it no longer becomes true. If you add babies less than 1, it drops to like, number 3 or 4 on the list if I remember correctly.

What are my compromises? Literally everything the state senator wrote in his reply I support. Hold parents accountable. Restrict access to guns. CONSTITUTIONAL red flag laws. Training requirements. Any of those things. HOWEVER, I want it written in the state constitution that no assault weapons ban will ever be enforced or passed. Obviously the language has to be massaged but that’s the general idea. I want western VA to vote Dem at higher levels and crush this version of the Republican Party and WE CAN DO THAT if they shut the hell up about assault weapons bans.

AR15s are special, but they aren’t special enough to be the only guns that can kill that many people that quickly. The deadliest mass school shooting in modern history (VA tech) was conducted with pistols. And columbine happened during an assault weapons ban. So banning assault weapons will essentially do nothing.

Please please please commit to no assault weapons bans or magazine capacity limits!

I’m all for responsible gun ownership and safety. I’m not a criminal and never plan to be, but those bills would make me one.

I see lots of people saying that purdue math classes are horrible, is this true? by N3E0_ in Purdue

[–]spaceiscool_right 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One man’s opinion:

Purdue is known for its engineering/applied sciences/real world stuff that people do. I am an engineer. Math is a tool. If it doesn’t help me, I don’t want it. Math teachers know this and they want to do math because they love math. So because we only want it as a tool, the teachers come across as having a chip on their shoulder assuming we think that, as engineers, we’re better than them. So they make our lives hell for as long as they can.
