Games@lemmy.world•Over 47% of Stop Killing Games Signatures Have Already Been VerifiedEnglish
41·24 days agoThis is the first I’ve heard of it 🤷
This post was just a couple below for me, ironic: https://lemmy.ca/post/53325803
This is the point that I think a lot of people miss. Yes, people will still have unlawful access to guns, specifically those who don’t care about laws in the first place. But I would just about bet my house that since guns in general are so much harder to get there, that it’s also harder for said criminal (or aspiring criminal) to obtain one.
Plus it’s barely the criminals doing mass shootings (speaking as an American), it’s usually some depressed white dude who just happens to have access to a firearm that they’re not qualified to operate. The gangs and criminals that have weapons generally speaking, only use them on each other (accidents and exceptions obviously occur).
The question is how does America, in its current firearm saturation, hit the same goal. I think it would take a generation for all the guns from legal owners to be turned in or recycled, because most don’t want to give them up. If the government immediately required special permits and only allowed for specific uses and types of arms, there would likely be a legitimate organized revolt from gun nuts.

14·1 month agoI just uninstalled Reddit and installed Sync for Lemmy. I’ll still end up on reddit occasionally from a Google search result or something, but I don’t go there intentionally.

The gravel one is gonna have some stupid loophole, like it’s one pebble a day, but infinite and free.
I posted a comment above, but if you’re android, check out leon. Super easy to use.
I use an app called “Leon URL Cleaner” from F-Droid. Does a really good job removing tracking params, and only adds one extra step to sharing a URL.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If I found voter irregularities in my home district do I have to hire a lawyer to prove it.? Or just let it go and the Florida Orange win?
1·5 months agoThat would be nice. Hugely impractical. Especially with today’s government. Pretty sure no fault divorce is going to be revoked soon, so it’ll only get worse.
Also, was not suggesting that abusive relationships would be enough to swing the election one way or the other, only that this is a valid concern that needs addressed before any sweeping change.

3·5 months agoNot at all saying we shouldn’t look into the abuse, but unless the victim tells someone, there’s no way to know it’s happening? I don’t really get what you’re suggesting here.
