The eagles against guns are some of the biggest and most bad ass eagles on the planet.

They take sheep and roos too. And they don't need their call dubbed over by a hawk screech to make it seem tougher than it is.

There is a red-tailed hawk that roams around my area, and every time we hear it, my wife rolls her eyes and goes "I KNOW it's not an eagle" because of how many times I would mention it whenever the screech would play on TV or movies.

Pavlov would be proud. Amused too, probably 😁

Well there's a reason why "bird brain" is an insult..

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary

And all his ideas went over exactly as planned.

Guys - maybe widespread access to effortless line-of-sight killing tools also causes problems.

Gun license? Is this a Canadian meme?

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

My New York liberal partners path. Had a few scares in the city we live in from lock-ins and just the general shit that happens in a city. It never hurts to have them so long as you know how to use them. So please shoot and be a responsible gun owner this includes locking them up and having proper safety measures in place especially if you have little ones

What the fuck is a gun license?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (15 children)

It's this thing we have in countries with more civilized laws governing death tools.

American gun culture grew out of murdering people and stealing their land and sustained itself on murdering people for talking to white women.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Not exactly. I can see why you'd say that, but Americans weren't gun nuts until around the 1910s to 1920s. At that point the right wing decided they needed a better red herring than the Mexican Border, and started pushing the 2nd amendment bullshit they've been on ever since.

Interestingly, gun control laws were implemented to keep guns out of the hands of minorities. Gun control is literally racist.

I'm not going to get a gun and I'm ready to die on that hill

Liberty sounds like the name of the very fuckable stripper in the club next street.

What's a gun license?

[–] ampersandcastles@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 month ago

Define liberty. I find no liberty being enslaved to currency.
