My personal stance is is a combination of an observation that an armed population is harder to oppress, and that gun control tends to have a disproportionate impact on minorities and oppressed groups.

Since LGBT and minorities are the most likely groups to be attacked by political opposition, we shouldn’t be trying to hamstring their ability to defend themselves.

Plus, a contributing factor to why the alt-right and fascists have gained so much ground in the past decade is because of the perception that only the political right has guns, and therefore they think that they’ll win in a fight

mnemonicmonkeys,

They are basically just democrats except they like guns.

Tbf, there’s liberals like that too, myself included. There’s a joke going around that “once you are far enough left you get your guns back”.

mnemonicmonkeys,

If you watch the video, Louis explains why they only made it source available

mnemonicmonkeys,

True, but with the ability to combine all competitors in a single feed a significant hurdle has been removed

Which YouTuber's voice can lull you to sleep?

I’ve exhausted things I can sleep to on Netflix, and it’s literally impossible to sleep to things on Prime (so I barely watch anything there; it’s not worth falling asleep to something I like, since I might be punished for it), so I’ve started putting on YouTube in the evenings since it won’t wake me with silence at...

mnemonicmonkeys,

Are you sure it isn’t just all the charts and data putting you to sleep? ^^^/s

mnemonicmonkeys,

And they do it so they can take down malicious copycats on Google Play

mnemonicmonkeys,

The resulting evidence demonstrates that “keep and bear arms” had a “collective, militaristic meaning” in the late 18th century.

And what is this even supposed to mean in a way that would contradict the originalist viewpoint? The definition of “militia” in the period is already understood to mean all able-bodied men that are suitable for military conscription. And by extension, a “well-regulated” meant said militia having proper equipment and knowledge of how to use said equipment. Quoting this changes nothing.

Also a side note: you should look at some of the arguments above the one you quoted in this link. There were 2 based on the State of New York discriminating against people, particularly racial minorities and LGBTQ individuals, which have the most need for the ability to defend themselves

mnemonicmonkeys,

No, the “well-regulated militia” actually referred to a desire to have all able-bodied men of military age to commonly have most of the skills needed to fight in a war in case of a draft, such as marksmanship and survival skills, as well as already owning most of the necessary equipment.

What’s important to note is that the US had a very small standing military for most of its history. It relied on being able to conscript a large number of recruits whenever a war started, and sent them home whenever the war was over. This requires a lot of the citizenry to already know most of the skills they’d need to raise an army quickly.

mnemonicmonkeys,

A “well regulated militia” had a different meaning back then. Also, there’s a comma in the middle of the amendment that means the first phrase is only a clarification. The second clause stands on its own.

mnemonicmonkeys,

What you are describing sounds like Deism, which is a philosophy that most of the framers of the US Constitution shared

Leave Texas and other Draconian states and risk getting pulled over for driving pregnant? Nope, just have the pills mailed from California. (www.cbsnews.com)

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a new law on Wednesday that aims to stop other states from prosecuting doctors and pharmacists who mail abortion pills to patients in places where the procedure is banned. California already has a law protecting doctors who provide abortions from out-of-state judgments.

mnemonicmonkeys,

Could you share which verses of the Bible. I’m not doubting, this is just so funny I want to see it for myself

mnemonicmonkeys,

Tbf, chugging over a gallon of distilled water in one go will actually kill you though

mnemonicmonkeys,

Isn’t a gallon almost four litres? A gallon of anything is going to be dangerous to drink all at once.

That’s the joke

mnemonicmonkeys,

I would recommend most people at least have professionals install the hardware going directly into and through the roof to avoid leaks. Unless there’s nobody reputable you can hire and you are sure what you’re doing.

Home repair is often fairly simple and can be done easily with some basic online tutorials, but there’s so many people that don’t do that and think up terrible solutions off the cuff.

mnemonicmonkeys,

Bruh, it’s a joke

The Vexillology community is having an aneurysm right now

mnemonicmonkeys,

It looks like a Veggie Tales character

mnemonicmonkeys,

Overall I like Lemmy, but there’s also a lot of doomers on here that do everything they can to make everyone feel miserable. I had to trim out a lot of communities that they tend to infest, so now I’m not getting as much interaction and have moved some of my traffic back to Reddit to have enough things to browse

mnemonicmonkeys,

I also choose this guy’s Mastodon server

mnemonicmonkeys,

Depends on the bullets, but these are too consistently sized
