News
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.

And this is why we shouldn't just let every fuckhead idiot have a gun.
Exactly! I don't want to take away your guns. I want fuckheads like these to not be able to buy them in the first place.
Gun ownership should come with a psych test and some kind of basic system for ensuring people understand the gravity of the device they are purchasing at minimum. As it stands, I can walk into a pawn shop a few blocks away and have a weapon in almost no time, and I'm all kinds of fucked up.
Nope, every time this country has put in some kind of "test" to access a right it's ultimately used by racists to disenfranchise people of color and anyone else they find undesirable.
Maybe a mandatory class that's simple based on attendance could work, but anything that requires someone making a subjective call will be abused
Subjective calls ("may-issue") have already been determined unconstitutional by SCOTUS (Bruen).
Bullshit. I'm tired of assholes using racism as an excuse to not put controls in place.
It's just another type of godwinning a conversation. Just claim racists abused it once!
Yes because as we can clearly see there are no racists in power abusing the system for their racist agendas....
Gun owner here. The bar to owning a gun is so ridiculously stupid and easy. Anyone who says otherwise is stupid.
It's not difficult at all.
Fully agree and I'm multiple gun owner. In my home, the firearms and ammunition are stored separately and nothing is loaded.
