Such an ignorant statement made with such authority 😂

Homelessness is just as criminalized in blue states. Welcome to capitalism lol

I just found out that right after that 2017 Las Vegas shooting, the trump administration banned on a federal level this accessory that allows semi-automatic weapons to fire faster. Then THIS YEAR that ban was reversed. So, I guess my point is that we would like life to be more of a black and white complexity on issues (or, red and blue as it were), but often times it’s not that simple. Sometimes the people you think are here to protect your views are the ones attacking them.

I’m sure from republican point of view they probably felt betrayed that a republican administration pushed for a (small) form of gun reform. And I know that I feel betrayed that a democrat administration pushed to repeal that ban.

But sometimes it’s two hands of opposing sides coming together to give everybody the middle finger.

I guess you can feel a little less betrayed.

Today, the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled 6-3 under its conservative supermajority that a bump stock attachment does not convert a semiautomatic rifle into a machine gun, which is prohibited under federal law. Under this decision, civilians now have access to bump stocks again.

Most of the time it’s illegal to feed the homeless

in what way? Always? Through tax write offs? Through begging? Charity?
