Thanks republicans, very pro consumer, very cool.

Who didn't need this in their life? I'm so glad the CFPB has also been disemboweled.

It isn't a gun or a fetus so they don't care.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You just made me think of this, has anyone slapped a cell modem onto a gun yet? That sounds like something that would happen here

That may lead to FaaS, though, Firearms as a Subscription.

I saw 'FaaS' and immediately thought Freedom as a Service, which is exactly the tagline such a service would have

Not a bad idea

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Anything as a Subscription is a bad idea, honestly.

They’ll be so happy to tell you how it’s actually your fault for voting for democrats and you better believe them OR ELSE.

(Still applies if you didn’t vote for democrats or even if you aren’t American)

If you're not feeling the freedom and amazing positive effects yet, it's because it's coming. Juuust over the next hill. Alllways over the next hill.
