Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

It’s certainly not responsible of you to keep a loaded firearm next to your bed, that sounds like paranoia, if you’re an American then you’re just going to ignore this comment however, if you legally own a firearm outside of America please be responsible and take safety seriously.
Home invasions happen my dude. Why not be prepared? I make good money in an area that’s largely low income, I’m not taking any chances. Trigger can’t pull itself, you gun nuts crack me up. Who is it irresponsible to? The kids I don’t have?
Owning a firearm for you is a right, for everyone else around the world it’s a privilege. Being a responsible firearms owner is more important than you may think, which means proper storage of ammunition, parts and guns themselves.
Yes, they do happen however, your response should be proportionate in such an event. Again for you self defence in your home is a right given the castle doctrine law, not everyone who possesses a firearm has the right to shoot intruders.
No but an un-informed individual could load truncated ammo into a tubular magazine, drop the gun and have their entire upper receiver blow off.
What’s nuts is your blatant carelessness in regard to firearm ownership and handling.
Who the fuck is going through my nightstand in my house? I have no kids. Wack. For that matter, if someone was rifling through my stuff they probably deserve to get shot, nobody should be going through my nightstand. I have a safe as well, but that’s for security, not safety. There is only one form of gun safety and it’s knowing how to handle a gun. That and them being locked around kids, but as stated I don’t have kids, and kids don’t come to my house.
Typical American
