malloc , in Illinois Supreme Court finds assault weapons ban constitutional

The obsession of guns in the USA is insane.

  • Sandy Hook massacre of 2011 did not change anything.
  • Las Vegas massacre of 2017 did not change anything.
  • High school massacre of 2018 in Santa Fe, TX did not change anything
  • Grocery store massacre of 2019 in El Paso did not change anything
  • Robb Elementary massacre of 2022 in Uvalde did not change anything.
  • Outlet mall massacre of 2023 in Allen, TX did not change anything

(yes there are many more mass shooting prior to 2011 and in between. These are just the ones I can recall as of writing this post)

American Exceptionalism at its best

PopcornTin ,

Every year, there are about two million defensive uses of guns. This obsession saves those people.

Klear ,

What are those two million people defending themselves from, I wonder?

@Klear @PopcornTin

Themselves mostly.

Violent attacks

borkdd ,

Two-thirds of gun-related deaths are suicides. This obsession enables people who are hurting and struggling to end their lives, and in some cases, the lives of many people around them first.

Crashumbc ,

Sure…

@TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world avatar

There’s way more firearm accidents and suicides than incidents where guns actually helped. They make everyone, especially gun owners, less safe. If safety is the primary concern, the less guns the better.

orrk ,

Defensive use of guns, like defending yourself from a kid you decided to pull over because he had skittles!

fxt_ryknow , in Hawaii death toll tops 93 as it becomes deadliest wildfire in US modern history

Just want to clarify that I reading this right. They’ve now counted as many as 93 killed, and search crews have only covered 3% of the search area?!

💀

fxt_ryknow ,

That’s awful. I saw the death toll rising, which is terrible in of itself. But to hear what it’s climbed to and they’ve only covered 3%…that’s devistating news!!

ShooBoo , in California judge charged with killing wife had 47 guns, 26,000 rounds of ammunition: Court documents

47… the cheapest one was probably 500$ or so. This is fetish. What the hell are you going to do with them all? I can think of 3 or 4 models I need and the rest of my stockpile just needs to be ammo for them.

AnUnusualRelic ,
@AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world avatar

Need?

ShooBoo ,

To elaborate… Need as in some kind of self defense scenario or even as a survivalist. There are 4 firearms I would probably want to have, each having a specific purpose. But that is it. Having 47 is like a cat lady or something. To me it is weird and unnecessary.

This is America, I have no problem with people owning guns. I support gun restrictions and the banning of automatic assault rifles as well. That is common sense to me.

DocMcStuffin , in People are having sex in self-driving cars, apparently
@DocMcStuffin@lemmy.world avatar

Just wait until someone dies in a self-driving car and it keeps going to its destination.

Mom: “Grandma is here!”

Kids: “Yaaa, Grandma is here!”

Everyone sees Grandma’s lifeless body

Mom: “AAAAAAAHHHHH!”

Kids: “AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!”

Dad: “What’s all this screaming!? … AAAAAAHHHH!”

Legendarylootz ,

I thought all the screaming was because they found grandma having sex in a self driving car.

SouthernCanadian ,

I was eating this girl out once and I tasted horse semen. So I said “Grandma, that’s how you died!”

what

SouthernCanadian ,

I thought we were doing grandma sex jokes

HR_Pufnstuf , in U.S.-led naval group warns ships to avoid Iranian waters to avoid seizure

Booby trap a few ships, see how long Iran keeps that crap up.

popemichael , in Greg Abbott faces more backlash as migrant child dies on bus: "Barbaric"
@popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Oh, no! Backlash? Whatever shall he do?

(Hint: the same thing he always does due to lack of consequences)

Especially_the_lies , in Longterm use of Proton Pump Inhibiters linked to dementia

I hear “proton p–” and immediately start looking around for the Ghostbusters. Anyway, carry on.

rodolfo ,

ah ah ah ah ah ah, oh god… ah ah ah ah ah ah my cheeks hurt

DarraignTheSane , in Democrats aren’t the only ones voting for abortion rights, Ohio shows
@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world avatar

Oh so some Republicans still quietly like freedom, got it.

HellAwaits , in Two LGBTQ films were slapped with R and NC-17 ratings. Critics say queer sex scenes are treated differently

It’s the same how many conservatives couldn’t care less if their kid sees a pg-13 level of a hookup in a movie, but cries if there’s a gay couple in a pixar KID movie.

Trust us, we’re aware of the hypocrisy.

arandomthought , in Webb telescope spots cosmic question mark in space | CNN

We haven’t unlocked that galaxy yet.

Pratai , in Mark Zuckerberg says he is ‘ready to fight’ Elon Musk

This should be something no one cares about. It should be that we all agree not to give these clowns the attention they demand from us-

But no. Instead, everyone will devour it like the dumbasses they are- all without knowing that they’re giving those two millions more dollars just to watch this disaster on pay-per-view.

Idiocracy isn’t a warning of how things will be if we don’t change- it’s a god damned documentary of how things are.

FarceMultiplier ,
@FarceMultiplier@lemmy.ca avatar

I don’t want to care, but I do want to see Musk slapped like a little bitch.

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

honestly, I’m rooting for the chair. or something. That way, they both get bitch slapped into oblivion.

Pratai ,

I don’t want to see anything involving that douche. The sun we he disappears into irrelevance, the better. And this bullshit is insuring that doesn’t happen.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, it’s sort of like the U.S. election. I wasn’t rooting for Biden, I was hoping Trump would be gone. So in this situation, I’m not rooting for Zuckerberg, I’m just looking forward to Musk getting his face caved in.

dartos ,

You sound very emotionally invested in this.

Pratai ,

Nice try.

jazzkat , in Hyundai and Kia recall nearly 92,000 vehicles and tell owners to park them outside due to fire risk

Between this and the theft issues, it’s not looking good for these guys.

arefx ,

You’d have to be an idiot to purchase one of their cars after all this

wazoobonkerbrain ,

No need, they’re easy to steal.

ElderWendigo ,

Especially now that everyone is parking them outside.

MeanEYE ,
@MeanEYE@lemmy.world avatar

And yet people still buy Tesla.

new_acct_who_dis ,

I’m so sad I’ve been in love with Hyundai for years! Affordable, lasts forever, easy/cheap maintenance.

I still got another good 10 years on mine, but dunno what I’ll buy after that

deadtom , in California judge charged with killing wife had 47 guns, 26,000 rounds of ammunition: Court documents

Wife stopped him from committing suicide and he eventually killed her. This dude deserves to be strapped to a cannon so his chest can be blown out. I can’t imagine how their son feels finding out his dad is irredeemable trash who would execute his mother, and basically losing both parents in a night.

GunnarRunnar ,

That's so sad.

xylogx ,

This is the only comment in this entire post that makes any sense. Thank you.

gamer ,

Damn the dude might off himself then if he has a history of suicide. Bail maybe wasn’t such a smart idea.

gnomesaiyan , in Webb telescope spots cosmic question mark in space | CNN
@gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a golden question mark, meaning one of us has a quest to turn in there.

ineedaunion , in 'Suits' Was Streamed For 3 Billion Minutes on Netflix and the Writers Were Collectively Paid $3,000

You licking boots or not? It’s correct information but sounds like you’re defending it.
