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.”

Comments 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!

You realize that in order to maintain a militia, the average citizen needs to have access to firearms without relying on issuance of them by the state? A militia "in good working order" requires people to occasionally take their personally owned firearm and train with it. How the fuck do you do this without allowing people to freely purchase them?

How the fuck do you maintain a militia "in good working order" while also banning their existence in peace time?
