Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

How'd that work out for the black Panthers again?
They asked for a solution to the "gun problem", and there is one that works.
Leverage the racism of MAGA and republican white people against themselves. They are all stupid enough to vote against their own interests to fuck over minorities.
Boom, no more guns.
But wait! We still have a gun problem even though the black Panthers had guns and solved the gun problem! And racism!
Grow up. The only thing we haven't tried is getting rid of the guns because THAT WOULD FIX THE FUCKING PROBLEM!
I'm telling you, this is the only way to get the ball rolling. You cannot ever within your lifetime or even in ten lifetimes get a Constitutional Convention for EVERY. SINGLE. STATE. to all unanimously agree to get rid of the Second Amendment.
You will be long dead and ten generations of your relatives and descendants will grow old and die before anything close to controlling the gun ownership problem will ever be addressed.
If you think you have hope it will happen in your lifetime, you are fucking delusional. Otherwise follow my suggestion and you can have your way in mayyybe 50 years.
Let's just this one time try to get rid of the guns then. Just as a prank, just to see.
