It'll be neither. Now that the upper class is affected, they'll be lobbying hard for strict gun control. But hey, archery still exists...

they’ll be lobbying hard for strict gun control.

This is America. No they won't.

Turnip banned guns at his rallies and his boot lickers didn't care much at all.

If this starts becoming a thing where rich fucks face mob or lone gunman attacks, you can guarantee they will make laws banning guns in "freedom zones".

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Almost all blue states have strict gun control laws thanks to racist white Republicans, see Black Panther Party in California.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's what makes it so wonderful. A madman has taken the keys, and his platform is built by crazies who idolize guns more than their own children. You could no sooner remove gun culture from America than you could alcohol or cheeseburgers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Man, that time American politics tried to remove alcohol from its culture was fuckin’ wild

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

This is America theyll lobby it for everyone but themselves

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

They already have it in States like Washington.

CEO's will buy upper body armor and write it off as a business expense.

[–] vaultdweller013 13 points 1 month ago

Pretty sure grapeshot cares not for their armor.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The killstick that got shinzo woulda worked with or without armor.

Normalize Splatoon guns

Please lobby for gun control.

I know a few guys who are into red hatwear.... With a lot of guns who might not enjoy that very much.

so you want the guns taken?

No, I want the pot stirred enough for us to take our country back.

Please lobby for gun control.

NYS already has the NYS SAFE Act and the CCIA, which are some of the most onerous gun regulations in the nation, truth be told.

We cannot own suppressors, semi-auto ARs unless extremely nerfed, cannot buy body armor here, cannot own a mag bigger than 10 rds, cannot own a firearm with a threaded barrel...

I'm surprised Trump's repeat assassination attempts didn't trigger something. Although it would be funny if the Republicans were the party to introduce gun control laws, perhaps the irony is just too much for them.

But hey, archery still exists…

And if that gets too much heat, a slingshot takes much less space and can also be deadly with the right projectile

[–] skulblaka 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A sling with just a little bit of training can put out a lot more damage than a slingshot and it's literally just a rope and a rock. It's harder to aim but that's what the backyard training is for.

Humans have been killing each other for [reasons] since before we even evolved into humans, if somebody is determined to do it, you're not realistically going to stop them by depriving them of weapons. Our bare hands are deadly weapons. It'll get done somehow.

Yeah the story of David and Goliath becomes a lot less impressive when you realize David showed up with a Bronze age Glock.

And it's way easier to get a compound bow than a gun, and not that much harder to learn.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A good deal harder to conceal though

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Is that a compound bow in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Harder to hide a compound bow on a subway though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's not as hard if Comicon is in town.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

If they ban Comicon the intersectionality will be crazy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Steampunk Legend of Zelda would be a great cover.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Crafting functional firearms is way easier than people think.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Especially if you only need the gun to work once.
