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.

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.

The first failure was the 2nd Amendment.
There were multiple opportunities to take the shooter into custody and make sure he couldn't own a gun before he ever bought a gun. All it takes is one felony conviction.

"He had also previously posted violent threats online.[127]"
"Ramos' social media acquaintances said he openly abused and killed animals such as cats and would livestream the abuse on Yubo.[128] Other social media acquaintances said that he would also livestream himself on Yubo threatening to kidnap and rape girls who used the app, as well as threatening to commit a school shooting.[127] Ramos' account was reported to Yubo, but no action was taken.[127][129] "
"A year before the shooting, Ramos started posting pictures to his Instagram account of semi-automatic rifles that were on his wish list. According to a friend of his, he would often drive around at night with another friend, shooting at strangers with a BB gun and egging cars."
" On May 14, Ramos sent a private Instagram message reading, "10 more days". A person responded, "Are you going to shoot up a school or something?" He replied, "No, stop asking dumb questions. You'll see."[127]"
"According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, in September 2021, Ramos asked his older sister to buy him a gun, but she refused.[56]"
You can get over being mad about that because it will be here longer than you and all the rest of us.
The right to bear arms is a great freedom that we should all celebrate.
Yeah! Have a big party! Invite all 19 of the families whose kids were brutally slaughtered in school! I'm sure they'd love that sort of party.
This really has nothing to do with anything I said, but go on about whatever I guess.
They don't argue in good faith.
He doesn't seem mad. Just stating a fact.
That was not a fact at all, that was a dumb opinion that was wrong, in fact.
You're the only one here who seems mad about being wrong. It's not the 18th century anymore.
I'm the one who is most right of all, because I actually understand the law and the logistics of Constitutional Amendments. The rest of you disagreeing with me are displaying cognitive dissonance, because you don't want to believe the truth, or just plain old ignorance.
The fact is that the 2nd Amendment will remain in place no matter what you ever do. Because it takes a 3/4 majority of the 50 states to ratify an Amendment to change that. It only requires 13 states to vote NO to changing it to retain it. Now, go and count how many red states there are.
What the fuck you're proving his point dude lmao
I agree, bad opinion to have on lemmy though I'll say lol
It's not a bad opinion anywhere, it's just the truth and anybody who doesn't like it is wrong.
