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.

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.

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.
Private event, their rules. Fuck off Paxton. This “good guy with a gun” stuff is bullshit and everyone knows it, but by all means puff out the chest and bluster for the idiots in your constituency.
There are some people who both start and end every gun debate with the "good guy with a gun" argument. Nothing gets through the impenetrable logic of "it makes sense to me".
Why doesn't Texas AG sue trump for banning guns at his rallies?
You guys.. I'm worried this is a MAJOR oversight!
Surely they'll allow unrestricted firearms in the gallery at the next Texas legislative session
LiberalGunNut™ here! I say hell yes, let them put their money where their mouth is. Force them to argue against.
FFS, I'll never know why liberals can't do shit like this. Texas ought to have Democratic lawmakers salivating at proposing such a law.
If I had one political wish, it would be that conservatives are forced to live in the world they want to create.
1 Let’s allow everyone to carry guns everywhere!
2 Oh, shit. Maybe not such a good idea. Let’s not have guns everywhere thousands of people congregate and have beer, too. Or at trump speeches. Or at NRA conventions….
3 Republicans: Fuck you! GUNS EVERYWHRE!1!
I agree with the Republicans, lets have more guns at Trump rallies, and mandatory aiming lessons.
Somewhere between: “Guns everywhere!” and “Guns nowhere!” is the idea that will make no one in America happy.
I don’t understand. I went to the Texas state fair last year. They were turning people away at the gate for having folding pocket knives or even Swiss Army knives. There where metal detectors and they where searching bags for weapons of any kind. Who is being banned from carrying guns inside the fair? The police?
I've gone to the Texas State Fair when I was a kid back in the late 80's and 90's...it's just a bunch of salesmen and food for the most part these days (kinda was then too, just had more actual activities for kids to participate in)
Just have "gun cabins" like "smoker boxes", where all the gun owners can sit and stare at each other.
Ken Paxton is such a piece of shit.
When you're a piece of shit your fellow pieces of shit just let you get away with felonies. And the clowns keep re-electing him.
It’s almost like they WANT an incident
I was there the night of the incident last year. I was afraid of a stampede BEFORE the shooting, it was that crowded. Yeah, guns need to be banned or Paxton needs to provide a realistic solution.
It's not that they want one, it's that their symbols of "freedom" are worth more than the lives of people.
Allow guns, but no bullets. And then the fair sells more deep fried bullets.
You joke about deep fried bullets, but this is Texas. They deep fried butter. I don't even know how that's possible.
Shrug I've seen deep fried ice cream. Just need to be quick :p
I'm always quick!
