The 2nd Amendment idiots are hosting a “huge” gun rally in Virginia on Sunday. There’s already been multiple arrests of white-nationalists that the FBI suspected were planning attacks. It’ll be interesting how many people show up after that, plus Virginia has banned guns at the event, so...

 

If it’s a large rally, I fully expect violent clashes between groups like the Proud Boys and Antifa. So be on the lookout for that I guess.

 

The area I live in is highly pro-gun, and it drives me crazy. With the shit these people post, I don’t think any of them should have guns. I honestly don’t even trust most of our police department to have personal guns.

 

If there is a “blue wave” in November, I fully expect and hope to see major gun reform.

Look at these people. These are the faces of people who value gun’s lives more than our children’s. Fuck them, fuck them to anywhere lower than hell.

I hope Antifa kicks the shit out of these guys at some point today.

Yay, insane violent idiots from one side against insane violent idiots from the other side, that's gonna be....quite something.

Well it may very well mirror the polar opposites the each party seems ready to elect.

There is nothing wrong with having a gun.   As long as the proper checks were made.  And hell.  Make it even harder. More background checks or whatnot.  But completley banning them will bring the country to chaos.   What happened when that crazy guy went to the church to shoot people.  He was stopped by a civilian with a gun.   Bad guys will always find ways to get guns whether you ban it, its not that hard to get a gun illegally.  However I had to go through alot when I got mine.

I have zero need for a gun. Most people that have a gun have zero need for a gun. I’ve offered a compromise to many gun owners, and many think that “I’m infringing on their liberties and rights”. I’d love to see all guns banned, but it’s not possible. So what I’d like to see, is everything besides single shot rifles and pistols banned. You also shouldn’t need more than 5 bullets in a clip. If you need more than 5 bullets to a hit a target, you aren’t qualified to be using a gun the first place. 
 

There should be no one who values a “gun’s rights” over our children’s rights to life.

I have no problems with that.  I have one gun and no conceal carry.   So yes there is no need to have an armory in your house.   But in Virginia they want to go around and pick up everyone's guns.  It's not about limitation.  It's about picking up all of them.

Completely agree. I mean, this is really not what a regular civilian needs. The fuck. One can only hope they are just trolling with some props, but you know, 'Murica.

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas.
