My question is what does refugees have to do with the environment. This is clearly a comic about climate change.

What do refugees have to do with this?

Here’s the picture everybody saw of him cleaning before the shooting. Obviously you have no memories of the actual situation.

Whatever you say bro.

It was just an example of highly exaggerated “news” pushing anti-gun opinions. It’s also extremely obvious so I thought it was a good thing to point out. It’s all part of the won’t someone please think of the children angle to try and convince people to give up their rights. Don’t get me wrong Fox News is absolute shit but that doesn’t excuse the other side telling lies.

The fact that the media reports shootings in the vicinity of schools as school shootings to pump up the numbers is evidence on my side.

Honestly, if you’re interested in how guns are effective against missiles and jet planes, look at Vietnam or Afghanistan. Then again I think privately owned jet fighters and missiles isn’t out of the bounds of reality.

The court disagrees. Just because somewhere is dangerous, doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to be there. If you want to go somewhere dangerous and you do not want to be at more risk, you bring protection.

Don’t fuck around if you don’t want to find out.

I’m concerned (reasonably) that mass media and constant misinformation/disinformation campaigns on social media and other platforms are changing peoples’ minds not with facts but with lies and deception. I don’t think this is controversial.

What? I think you might be confused. The only ones hiding their true intent are those trying to ban all guns while claiming “reasonable restrictions”. The Second Amendment is historically significant to the founding of the US and is based in the ability of a nation to defend itself with or without a standing army. Human nature has remained the same. Recent failures in “catch and release” or soft on crime prosecutors has shown that despite trying to be progressive and change the way we treat criminals the criminals haven’t changed. They’re still the same as they’ve always been.

Human nature being what it is, until we have perfect mass surveillance and zero freedoms we will continue to have a need to protect ourselves from bad actors.

I’m also of the belief that once a person has served their sentence and been released there shouldn’t be any additional future punishments stemming from prior convictions. They should have all their rights restored. It certainly could be kept as a record to affect their future criminal punishments were they to reoffend, but if the punishment they received wasn’t enough and they have to be punished more then it should have been a part of the initial conviction sentencing.

I didn’t remember it perfectly, but certainly a lot that is ignored by those who hate Rittenhouse. I was mistaken when I said the guy with the handgun is a felon. He WAS a felon and seems like an all around piece of shit, but his felony was expunged so he was legally allowed to possess a firearm. He did have a loaded handgun in his hand when approaching Kyle though.

17 year olds are typically only restricted from handguns. Go ahead and point to the law that says he wasn’t allowed to possess a long gun at that time. Maybe you should have been on the prosecution if you’re so good.

Dude. He was found not guilty. If there was evidence of him being there for no reason other than to kill somebody then I’m sure he would have been convicted. I remember fairly well that he retreated but got attacked by a guy trying to hit him in the head with a skateboard (weapon) and shooting the arm of a felon brandishing a handgun at him.

Do you not remember the very iconic picture of him in his blue gloves? At the very least he did have something. Usually when somebody is running from attackers they don’t pick up the bucket of supplies they were using before running away.

Grapeshot. Pickleguns. There were many advancements in weaponry during the lives of the founding fathers but I don’t remember them writing all about how they were wrong because weapons are too dangerous for mere mortal civilians to own.

Alright. Go ahead. Bring your evidence, because I saw the pictures and video.

And yet it wasn’t illegal. If it was he would have been found guilty. I said nothing of the intelligence of his plans, just what I remember of the facts. I remember he wasn’t doing anything wrong, but was targeted by some shitstains who chased after an armed guy. That was ultimately the stupidest decision on the day. One of the shitstains was a felon with a gun, and the dead one was a sex offender. If I got some of the details wrong it’s because I don’t care enough to look it up because it’s a decided case.

Sounds a lot like FAFO to me.

Cleaning graffiti if I recall correctly. Cleaning up in general in a dangerous area subject to some riots.

Because it’s not against the law and had shit that he was doing there. You act like state borders are like national borders.
