Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The world is going crazy.... We must defend and protect ourselves because the finest people who were supposed to be doing that are basically evil goons....hmmm you guys over there, hand over your license. Yeah sorry, but ya're not allowed to ya know, defend. Alright, han'em over. Go on, gettarehere!
I'm not as much of a gun proponent on individual ownership grounds but this clearly seems like the well regulated militia as a bulwark against tyranny that the founders were talking about.
The one thing that gets Republicans to support gun control is black folks with guns.
... Are Reagan and Nixon the liberals?
Shit, those two are conservatives, even, from the party that LOVES their guns.
“gun control”
2A is your permit. Sue the city.
Exactly city has no authority to revoke your 2A rights.
The cops will shoot you if you don't comply. That's where the authority comes from.
Shoot back
Cops have better weapons. Their only disadvantage is there are less of them and they are cowards. Their 2 major disadvantages are there are less of them, they are cowards and they are all out of shape. Their 3 major disadvantages are ... I'll come back in again.
Anyone got info on the Jan 31 incident that is the origin of this? I couldn't find anything, just an earlier shouting match between the cops and Lions.
Typically, open carry is legal in all of Pennsylvania except Philadelphia, where you need a carry license to open carry. Usually the Philly-only gun laws get overturned rather quickly, but this seems to have remained in place for 20 years with few legal challenges.
Dunno why the ATF was brought into the original comments, as this seems to be a city and/or state issue. Feds don't look to be involved here.

To reload drop the magazine, rack the slide to clear any stuck rounds, and insert a fresh magazine.
As a 2A supporter living in a far left state I am constantly reminded, "The people voted for these officials who made these laws."
You only really get to vote for whoever is running. I mean you can often write in a vote, but you're not going to elect a write-in.
I'm gonna be real here. who the heck hears black panther type group and thinks Trump voters they deserve it.
We are talking about Americans, their level of stupid is unimaginable.
Eeeh we aren't all that unique or exceptional. Despite what the propaganda says. But our education systems are certainly lacking when it comes to teaching anything, any history involving labor or minorities.
