This why we need the 2nd.

Wrong country. We don’t do that up here. Overall, we find this results in fewer unnecessarily dead people.
Let’s say he’d had a gun, and used it against the police. He would just have gotten hit with an additional charge that could have been anything from resisting arrest to first-degree murder, depending on how good a shot he was. So he’d still be in prison even after being proven innocent of the original charge. Real smart.

Or maybe if you had the 2nd they wouldn’t be so quick to arrest the wrong guy ad actually did their fucking job and investigated… No no that to lofty of a concept in canada…
The 2nd protects the 1st and you don’t have free speech.

Yeah, no one is ever wrongfully arrested and convicted in the USA. You guys are famously standing up to tyranny, brave yankee.
We have the freedom of speech which as we all know States side went out with blackface trudeu in canada then used the emergency act (for the US thats literally Marshall Law) to quiet down protesters in Ottawa.
Only time ever used, for honking horns. Then seized their bank accounts. So much freedom.
Say what you will about us here but you guys really lost your spine.

Buddy, you live under a corrupt government that is robbing you blind. You have the opportunity to prove that your gun shopping hobby is not just consumer fetishism right now!
But you won’t, of course. You might as well be collecting dildos.
LOL you are in a country of ccp shills. Tell me how you lost one of the best cell phone manufactures to chinese spies. 30 million people and you can’t find housing because its all foreign owned…
I haven’t bought a gun in at least 7 years. Prolly cause I got all the ones I want (Others than a 686). But my dildo’s have value and use and you can’t have them up there.
Replying to @TIEPilot@lemmy.world
Oh, we are all aware of what you use your dildos for. Certainly not “defending against tyranny.”

States side
Marshall Law
We’re dealing with a real stable genius here.
