Republican bill would let AZ ranchers shoot and kill border-crossers on their property
Arizona Republicans want to let ranchers in southern Arizona legally shoot and kill undocumented immigrants who cross their land.

These mofos always looking for excuses to hunt people, especially minorities.
What are they supposed to do with all those guns, just look at them? Come on bro, be chill. They just want to do a lil brownperson hunting.
And what the fuck are you gonna do to stop em?
As a canadian, all I can do is feel sad and angry about it and post while chugging maple syrup
As an american, I'll be chugging nacho "cheese."
You should be voting in local elections so chuds like this don't get a chance.
At least we Canadians get a sugar high with the maple syrup, I feel bad for your arteries....
Nah don't worry about our arteries. With any luck capitalism will crush our souls enough that stress will kill us faster than eating a pint of queso a day could
It's kind of funny how it sneaks up on you...
I never thought I'd own a gun, but had an apartment in a bad neighborhood, lots of drugs and crime, loose pit bulls running around.
So I bought a gun:

Roll forward 20 years, my grandfather passes away, leaves his guns to my dad. My dad passes away... suddenly I'm the owner of 14 guns. O_O
I consider myself left of center, in the US at least. I’m in favor of a more careful and measured approach to gun ownership in general. That all being said, when I watched an angry mob attempt to overthrow the federal government, my liberal ass went out and bought a gun. Those lunatics proved they’d happily lynch politicians from their own party, I sleep sounder with my gun safe nearby.
I keep repeating: Women, POC and LGBT folks have been the largest gun purchasing demographic in America for the past few years. Maybe liberal suburban boys should wonder what those people are seeing?
And I repeat again: Owning a gun does NOT make you safe. Unless you practice, train, practice some more and carry (carrying is another form of practice), you're less safe. If you haven't put 1,000 rounds through your weapon, in varying conditions, keep going.
It's a big responsibility. If you don't want to take it on, that's your right. I chose to take it on, as is my right. If they start loading trains, I'll fight for you all, best I can anyway, which ain't much.
Right on, and here's an excellent, but sober video people need to watch, and re-watch.
Wow, thank you for that. Very informative
I agree with everything you’ve said, and yes, I do practice at the range. I can’t exactly carry a rifle where I live though, and getting a CCW here is a nightmare.
Living in Proud Boy Central, I agree. Though things have calmed down a bit since the arrests. Hard to tell though if it were that or the rainy season. :) I guess we'll find out in the Spring.

And that is 100% understandable despite the fact that the mere act of owning a firearm increases your chances of being involved in gun violence. What a world we live in
Perhaps the people who own guns are more prone to violence, or live in more violent areas? Believed that stat for years, but since I started shooting, I've read a lot more and now question it.
The responsable gun owners outnumber the nutters by a wide margin.
It comes down to the nature of probability. Say there is a 5% chance of something happening. At 5% you could see 100 or more potential instances that never come to fruition, or it can happen the first time the potentiality comes into play.
Being a responsable owner, who only would ever rely on the gun when all other options are exhausted greatly reduces the risk but it can never go all the way to zero.
The other side of this coin is guns make it so easy to commit impulsive suicide over something that isnt going to bother you anymore in a few weeks if you actually had faced the situational depression or whatever it is. Making suicide inconvenient stops a lot of people stuck in an 'I give up!' headspace, and of course it does, they will give up on that too if it isnt easy to pull off.
I've heard this and don't doubt that it's true. I just can't help but wonder what causal effects have been determined for that.
LOL, just said the same, but not nearly as succinct.
When you fight the robber, their bullets will hit you and your family. When the road rager draws on you first and you draw too, even if your faster his bullets might hit you or your family. Dont even get me on the cops... 5 of their 82 shots will hit you just because you informed them of your cc permit and firearm at a traffic stop.
And say you successfully defend your life with a gun, but one of your shot's missed and strikes a child? I couldnt live with that, it would be time to fire my last bullet.
Left liberal Asian American who's owned various pellet guns/rifles for plinking, and have a lovely antique shotgun that I've fired a handful of times. My dad passed and shortly before Covid, I ended up with his .22 Colt pistol from the 60s. Did the legal inheritance transfer, cleaned it up. Covid happened and although I knew there would never be a lynch mob at my doorstep, I felt a pinch safer having it around.
If you bought a firearm for protection you must watch this. Too many people think owning a firearm is all they need. Lack of skill and knowledge will get only you and your family killed. Please share this rather dark video with your like-minded friends - it very well may save their lives in the near furure.
I'm definitely of the mindset that I want more guns and I could easily afford them. I don't buy them because I am likely inheriting dozens of firearms when certain family members pass. It's still decades away (hopefully), but I don't want to have to deal with so many multiples of similar firearms.
That was kind of the position I was in when I inherited...
Dad left me this:

OK, that's cute, but come on... Bought one of these...

Then, going through everything, I was like "Wait, no shotgun?"
Fine!
Owning a firearm is a big responsibility, using one on a person will change a decent person's life dramatically, but being murdered or watching your family be murdered is not an option.
I would love to inherit 13 guns. I'd turn them in at the first local buy back so they could be destroyed.
Yes, my immediate thought was "Melenated people are targets more than ever in my lifetime. I'm the same age as people who still weren't allowed in designated schools, hospitals, despite federal laws. Yes, one of those states
Opening the door to shoot people they don't even know but may not like.
