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.

Sure they do. You might only be a fraction of their profits, but those profits are made up of millions of fractions.
So how much of that are you comfortable donating to the Republican party, currently represented by Donald Trump and in the middle of attacking womens rights and the LGBT+ community?
It looks like if you bought a gun in 2022, around a dollar of your money most likely ended up in a Republicans election fund.
Of course, much more of your money would have gone towards legally opposing the red flag laws that should have prevented multiple mass shootings by far-right extremists, all of which are now openly celebrated in neo-nazi chat rooms.
But I'm sure you're going to undo all of that damage by parading around a polling place with a gun, which you haven't actually said you'd be doing and would accomplish nothing except further repressing votes.
You sure do help fascists a lot for someone who ostensibly opposes them. "Murdering minorities" and "preventing people from voting" are their two favourite activities in the whole world and you've given them guns, funding and aid they need to do both.
What a surprise, the gun owner is a cunt. I absolutely love the insults you chose though.
Not because they're good, but because they reveal so much about who you are under all the posturing.
I hate to break it to you, but just because you're insecure in your masculinity, doesn't mean I am too but hey, at least we worked out why guns and looking like a hero are so important to you.
You're going to have to do better than "Trump voters favorite insult, borrowed from white supremacists" and a homophobic slur.
Looks like that was the bit that upset you, but you couldn't think of an excuse until you remebered the "it's your fault I'm a bad person" defense that's so loved by abusive partners the world over that they teach it in schools as a red flag.
Nevermind, being able to control your emotions isn't a requirement for owning a gun and as long as you own a gun, you'll never need a personality.
