a sizzling is heard

what if no

It really feels like gun storage laws should at least be less controversial politically on account of people clearly being dumb as hell

On the uh…plus…side? This person put it in the oven to begin with to hide it from kids but get a gun safe ffs

Narrator: But there was

Because words mean things and the difference in meaning is super important here 🙄

I mean,

informant to the cops vs informant to typically some foreign entity

Necco Wafers: Gross, or actually the grossest?

lmao we'll see how that turns out

@TimStone that should really be apart of gun legislation that the owner of the weapons has got a place to lock them away. and when their asshole of a kid takes the gun and shoots up a school the parents are also on the hook if it's found that they didn't secure the guns properly

Problem is that it's not a deterrent

No one is ever going to think "oh I better secure my guns in case my kid shoots up a school, don't want to be liable"

So unless you directly enforce it it won't happen

Considering they need to be stored in like an actual safe

@TimStone we do everything we can to protect the stupid from themselves when in the past the stupid would naturally wipe themselves out. even then they still find a way to be even more stupid and we still have to think of way to prevent that

@quartata well i was going to suggest that the house is inspected but i get the feeling that a group of people would be against any authority telling them how to store their guns or even going to their home and checking for that

@Memor-X that’s how it works in Germany

@MadScientist authority comes into a person's home and checks how they store their weapons?

@Memor-X this would be good but unlikely to happen anytime soon

@Memor-X they can do unannounced checks of the gun safe and your registered guns

@MadScientist How do you think the average guncrazed American would respond to a government agent arriving unannounced to their house to inspect and possibly take away their guns?

@Nzall yeh, probably the difference between Germany and the US is that

just a few minor cultural differences

This was added in response to a school shooting nearly ten years ago

I'm envious at the thought of passing such legislation so quickly

Here's the big issue with the USA: for over 200 years, the right of every civilian to have any weapon they please has been entrenched in the US Constitution. It's just as deeply entrenched as freedom of speech

not any weapon they please

we don't let them use anthrax I don't think

I'm talking about firearms

Biological warfare wasn't really a think in the 18th century

other than dead cows I suppose

@quartata or long reaching flame throwers

remember that Elon Musk's flame thrower could only be legal if the flame didn't reach so far

also i think RPG/Rocket Launchers.....i hope to god they aren't allowed those

Those aren't firearms, Nzall's point stands

I'm just being humorous

@Nzall not quite as refined as 'modern' biological warfare... but, I mean... Smallpox blankets...

Uhhh, I mean she has a vested interest in painting him in a bad light but woah boy

We have evil plans for the library board this week it's going to be so good

(cw: detained children)

(the short is that the vying for power within the WH largely consists of pointing fingers claiming someone's a leaker with no need to back it up and whoever is believed most wins)

@TimStone love to hire the best people

@TimStone Since this is now A Thing on Twitter please note that this article is from 2014, and that the practices of ICE have and continue to be horrible

Wow how dare you attack Obama when Trump has been worse

Good thing these things have Definitely Changed

No it's the other way around that sharing the link was a conspiracy to shame Trump or something idk

I covered both bases look the pod save guy did a tweet about how actually those ACLU stats are unaccompanied children which is way different

Please refer to this Very Important Point for more (You do not need to refer to this point)

They did tweet at the same time but it doesn't actually mention anything about Trump or 2018 so I'm not really sure how ICE isn't actually still horrible

It's almost like the stated mission of ICE has been bad since 2003

And that it continues to operate is an atrocity perpetrated by three separate presidents

I mean shame on apparently everyone for not bothering to notice until now but that delay seems not central to the actual issue

What with ICE still existing

Amazing that Trump has abolished ice and this shit isn't definitely still happening 4 years after that article

Amazing that the child seat prison bus that has been circulating lately is a thing that has ever existed

Abolish, prosecute.

Of course

Wasn't he on Alex Jones?

Yes

Or was that a different 30-year old man living their parents' house?

I dunno if I have much ground to say anything given that I'm 26 and live with my parents.

But I do make enough money to rent my apartment if I wanted to, it's just cheaper to not pay rent.

Right, and presumably your parents would not have to forcibly evict you if it came to that

Because you're an adult

Plus, even when I get my own house, my parents would probably move in at some point.

Because that's an Asian thing.

So it'd be more efficient to just stay in this house, I guess.

Yeah this seems healthy and good
