Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It's probably safer than other solutions that other countries have tried... Certainly safer than, say, banning firearms.

So many countries tried that option and have you seen their school shootings statistics?

Have you seen the size of their firearm and miltech industries? Pathetic! Guns are a tool for wealth accumulation through creating an arms race where one didn't previously exist!

(I'd sarcasm tag except I'm starting to be convinced that the above is in fact the motivation behind it all)
