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.

Then they kill you AND your family. Have any other ideas?

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Arm, your family too.

There are more of us than them. We outnumber them by the thousands. They get off by feeling more powerful.

And you're empowering them. Stop it.

lol! What type of gun should I be buying for my elementary age daughters? Should I stick with 9mm or just go with the FN5.7? Maybe just a baby knife? They’d probably be better with knives, but I worry about reach.

Idk why you’re sitting around typing when there’s killin’ to be had! Lead the charge bub!

Edit: Whew, with all this big talk encouraging violence I guess we’ll see you in the news tomorrow! How many of you have ever fired a shot in anger? In war? Talking of what others need to do. Pathetic.
I’m not even going to meet you halfway and give sympathetic talking points. Nut up or shut up.

Start with a BB gun, then a .22, then up. A little pocket knife to stick strangers that try to grab them might be a good idea too, you’re acting like commenters are being histrionic but these nazis are literally kidnapping and murdering people in broad daylight

Are you so coddled by modern society that you view a child defending themselves against violent abductors as an absurd thing?

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 11 points 3 weeks ago

I don't condone your kids needing to shoot someone, but there's nothing wrong teaching them about firearms as early as possible. I was out shooting with my dad when I was around 6 years old... it all depends on the maturity levels.

i dont know where you are getting the idea to arm children, you would be a very irresponsible and dangerous parent around your "children" and should not be parenting them.

Wars have casualties, it's sad and unfortunate but I see a lot more blood being spilled before this is over.

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 10 points 3 weeks ago

Fuckin’ rise the fuck up and actually resist this shit. No protests. If they shoot, shoot ‘em back!

[–] cheesybuddha@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Get 2 armed friends and have each of them get 2 more armed friends, etc
