Hand to hand combat is very unequal. If you get lucky, you have the genes that naturally make you stronger.

Guns equalize the playing field.

Also, you can’t hand-to-hand a bear. Humans aren’t the only threat that exists.

This one. See the “M” symbol?

Guns can now be 3d printed as we can see Luigi Mangione allegedly printed that gun

What if you have a safe and the thief is a locksmith and stole your gun?

I mean I think by this logic, people who don’t lock their car doors and the car gets stolen/carjacked, the car owner would face the consequences of whatever the thieves used it for?

(Genuinely asking)

What if a terrorist organization just recruits a straight christian white dude. I doubt TSA would check him too closely.

I mean… in Non-North-American Western Countries, that’s already a thing, right?

Edit:

Australia + Many countries in Europe requires permits and that requires a “good reason”. From what I heard, the police is usally much less shitty than the US counterpart.

Or just wait until the next National Security Advisor drunk text you…

I doubt foreign intelligence agencies need to do this and leave physical traces. They’ll just get pegasus from israel’s “NSO Group” and send it to everyone.

That wont be a solution in the future.

China used QR code scanning to control movements during covid (although I think its reversed, its the people who show the qr code to the officials who scan it), eventually, these type of digital ID checkpoints are gonna be all around the world just like surveillance cameras. Wanna get access to a building, need an app on your phone. Wanna drive a car? Open the app. Wanna take a bus? Open the app. cops being dipshits and asking for your digital ID to verify your legak status or else they send you to the gulag/concentration camps? Open the fucking app and verify. (Its not USA-specific either, Germany is doing border checkpoints too)

Cars have radios now, you can even survive without internet connection (to fill out the job application) and a phone number (to have banking).

Welcome to the future!

Go to Settings --> Apps

Find “Gemini” and tap into the app page and tap disable

If you can’t find Gemini, you phone probably didn’t get the Google Play System Update yet, so check the app list when you update next time. (Or you can refuse to update, but outdated android comes with security risks)

Mine is already disable for some reason. Maybe I did that a while ago and forgot about it.

When seconds matter, the police are only minutes away.

And now the police (ICE) are disappearing people. Can you blame people for wanting guns?

I mean, its not like thoae fascist pigs will do anything to help. Shoot first ask later is the 'Murican way.

Four ruffians break into my house. “What the devil?” As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he’s dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it’s smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, “Tally ho lads” the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

“I know I look like I’m just sitting here confused at these word problems, but, deep inside, I’m performing millions of complex calculations.” -I said to the math teacher, as there is 5 minutes left on the pop-quiz that I didn’t prepare for, and I haven’t even written anything down yet

In 🇺🇸’murica, hospitals are legally required (at least for now) to treat you for health emergencies (with the exception of chronic conditions like cancer or diabetes).

Go get your treatments and never pay the bill lol. What are they gonna do? Take your non-existent properties? Debts are gone in 7 years.

For chronic conditions tho, you’re kinda fucked. They’ll treat you for DKA for example, but doesn’t legally have to give you insulin once your vitals are stable.

Remember, taking things you need to survive from corporations is the equivalent of self-defence. (Solution is break into the pharmacy in the middle of the night)

Hey anyone remember what that Green video game character is named? I think the name start with L and end with i.

Reptillian ceo desparately trying to learn how to properly drink water

Don’t you know? The only city in the USA is either New York or Los Angleas or San Francisco. If its a movie about alien invasion then Washington, DC will also show up.

If its UK, the only city is London.

If its China, the only cities that exist are Beijing or Shanghai.

If its Japan, the only city that exist is Tokyo.

Welcome to Hollywood!

In a letter he wrote:

The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. … For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. … I cannot see anything ‘chosen’ about them.
