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.

If the polive was actually useful, then maybe getting rid of guns could be a good thing.
But as an Asian American. I know about the Korean Americans during LA Riots who had to protect their stores by themselves because the authorities didn't give a shit.
Asian Diaspora are one of the most vulnerable groups. Because a lot of us have successful bussinesses and racists are jealous and like to target us.
So I'd prefer well regulated militias than police. Especially in the context of America where cops are horrible.
The well regulated militia is now ICE. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
Ice is a government policing agency following federal orders. Not sure if I would call them "well regulated" or a militia. They're just the strong arm of authoritarianism, a special police force. Hell really its just the same old police force with new directives.
I think perhaps you’re missing the point. There is no well-regulated militia; the National Guard is supposed to be that entity.
As it stands, there is only ICE at the moment and we can all see their atrocities.
Some states do have active Militias last time I checked, and of course there are some weird fringe militias. ICE has government leadership and pay checks, they are the government.
The National Guard is a state organization that can be LEGALLY activated at a federal level.
Right and national guards don't carry badges and enforce domestic laws do they. Im just saying ICE aint a militia and damn sure aint the military, it's a federal police force enforcing federal laws. This is important when it comes time to pay for their crimes. Their superiors are your elected officials. They are not citizens acting in support of the military. They are domestic police force.
I feel like you’re thinking I’m defending these cunts when I’m not.
I’m saying the entire system has been subverted. It doesn’t work the way as intended because there are no consequences for breaking or ignoring laws/the system.
Oh have some faith son, once they've starved enough people they will become accountable to the angry mob. Sad thing to have to see, but a tale as old as time. Sic semper tyrannis.
