Apparently comics version of 2012 Donnie has a thing for redheads, given he was also all over Batgirl, completely ignoring April.

Pfft. Oh, you know what, that's right. :lol:

I guess ginger girls have Don in the bag then!

[Leo656]

Too bad they don't have souls.

[superstaff]

Mirage April is a drawing so she doesn't have a soul, right?

[Leo656]

True enough. :lol:

Why does the left keep trotting out this Marjorie Taylor Green as if she's someone remotely relevant to people on the right? I don't even know who that is and haven't heard from anyone else who does either.

I've heard of MTG but only when the Lunatic Left throws a fit over something she said...

As for shootings in Gun Free Zones, ain't that why democrats thought that one up? They seem to like dead bodies of all ages from unborn to grandma.

Gun owners do not want more dead anyone, except maybe for criminals looking to harm anyone. I want everyone to have the right to protect themselves how they see fit. Be it pepper spray, knives or guns. You are your own first line of defense when bad people come bringing trouble. Gun free zones are easy pickings. Get rid of those & it will reduce the number of shootings or at the very least, the number of victims of some lunatics rampage. School shootings have only increased since 1990 when the gun free zone act was implemented. Created by the owner of Kohls, a democrat and signed into law by Bush, I believe. Remove that & allow schools to choose how they defend their students & make anyone who chooses to stay a gun free zone responsible for any & all attacks on students/employees/customers. We've tried it the Lefts way for 3 decades now. It doesn't work.

How interesting that a Democrat and a Republican signed that into law. How interesting. Almost as if both sides are playing their audience like fiddles while they profit off it. Been doing it for a long time, and continue to do it.

Canada introduces law to freeze handgun sales, ban look-alike toys

https://news.yahoo.com/canadas-trudeau-announces-legislation-prevent-205940685.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAANf87yOgBu8lp-UppAbvlEjfT2UakB0bqrmUnQ6oceqFUXgPC8MWq6fDl4cJoRcj LOz2TN6ECcTxcprr-c_i6-JRh7-49HqAM5DRw5jZtsT8S3EgPuVu8DE54sjHg-X-KKLZBFDUCAPD4cdxD_Q4drX20L7g3pDteT16XtKtMTpv

Canada's government introduced legislation Monday to implement a "national freeze" on the sale and purchase of handguns as part of a gun control package that would also limit magazine capacities and ban some toys that look like guns.

The new legislation, which resurrects some measures that were shelved last year amid a national election, comes just a week after a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers in their classroom in Uvalde, Texas.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters the new measures were needed as gun violence was increasing.

"We need only look south of the border to know that if we do not take action firmly and rapidly it gets worse and worse and gets more difficult to counter," he said.

The handgun freeze would contain exceptions, including for elite sport shooters, Olympic athletes and security guards. Canadians who already own handguns would be allowed to keep them.

Authorities do not expect a run on handguns in anticipation of the freeze, in part because they are so heavily regulated already, an official said in a briefing.

Canada has stronger gun legislation than the United States but while its gun homicide rate is less than one-fifth the U.S. rate it is higher than that of other rich countries and has been rising. In 2020 it was five times Australia's rate.

The rate in each of 2020 and 2017 was the country's highest since at least 1997, according to Statistics Canada.

Canada banned the sale and use of some 1,500 models of assault weapons, like the AR-15 rifle, two years ago in the wake of a mass shooting in Portapique, Nova Scotia - a move some firearms owners say they are contesting in court. Speaking alongside Trudeau, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino confirmed the "imminent launch of the initial phase" of a program to buy back and compensate owners of such weapons.

While the Liberals have a minority of seats in Parliament, the legislation could pass with the support of the left-leaning New Democratic Party.

The planned legislation would prevent anyone subject to a protection order or who has engaged in domestic violence or stalking from obtaining or keeping a firearms license.

It will also require long-gun magazines to be permanently altered so they can never hold more than five rounds and will ban the sale and transfer of large-capacity magazines.

The new laws would also ban some toys that look like real guns, such as airsoft rifles. Last week Toronto police shot and killed a man carrying a pellet gun.

"Because they look the same as real firearms, police need to treat them as if they are real. This has led to tragic consequences," Justice Minister David Lametti told reporters.

Tom Stamatakis, president of the Canadian Police Association, welcomed some of the moves, such as the "red flag" provisions in the case of domestic violence, and said he would like more information on enforcement and resources for measures such as the handgun freeze.

He completely supported a crackdown on fake guns, which he said were a "big challenge."

"You cannot distinguish between what's a replica firearm and what's a real firearm, particularly when these incidences involving replica firearms occur often in very dynamic, quickly evolving circumstances."

Rod Giltaca, the head of the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights, said the handgun freeze was "absurd."

He said authorities were not using the tools they already had to tackle gun violence, such as calling people listed as references on gun license applications.

A power grab if I ever saw one. Expect more of this in other countries too.

Again, the governments (in US and around the world) are using the pandemic as a jump off point to initiate agendas like this. If anyone doesn't think politicians would try this, think again. Crack open a history book. Throughout history, people have tried to gain as much power over their citizenry as possible. Just because it's 2022 doesn't mean corruption has been eradicated, and before anyone thinks the populace won't allow this...yeah.

All politicians are corrupt. You don't get to the higher up spots without being bought & paid for... Look at that one eyed a$$clown in Texas. Ran as a conservative, former military & comes out as pro-red flag law (red flag laws violate the cotus). We need to go back to tar & feathers tyrants. As for Canada, they've been fvcked for years. None of these commie gun grabbers are going to give up their guns and armed security.

[superstaff]

All politicians are corrupt.

Wow. I'm surprised that you agreed with me on that. I thought you'd spaz out, and accuse me of being a Skittle haired SJW land whale that's banging Biden as I type this comment out. :o But, uh, cool.

Yes, I'm not surprised by what's going on with Canada, but isn't the timing of this ban funny? Hm. I'm going to guess there will be more bans incoming worldwide. It's like putting an uncovered tank of mice in front of a hungry cat, the cat representing the politicians and the confused, scrambling mice being us. The world is in a very delicate place right now with war, massive inflation, mandates (yes, places have removed them but the precedent's been set...so when the next 'tragedy' happens...), and you get the picture. The instability is going to lead to politicians making more bold moves that will result in more power and wealth for them, and less rights for us. They'll claim it's for our safety and betterment, of course.

Uhm, saying all politicians are corrupt does not make one a SJW. it makes one normal :). Now, saying ONE side is corrupt while praising the other side, THAT makes a SJW!

As far as canada....

Banning toy guns...a bit far, but not a bad idea. I go against the b annign of hand guns. Hand guns you have to reload and can only fire off so many shots. THAT gives everyone a chance to take the gunman down with fists or whatever you can find.

It's ASSULT Rifles and Auto/Semi Auto that need to be banned world wide. THOSE are the problem. IMHO

I've been in right leaning circles online that have called me a SJW because I don't agree with their views 100%. The left leaning folks do the same, just the opposite like calling me a MAGA QAnon loving Neo Nazi or whatever. :lol:

Yeeeeah, I...disagree.

Bans do nothing, bro. As much as politicians claim, they can't wave a magic wand and make all the bad stuff go away. It'll all exist, just underground, and harder for law abiding citizens to access (and be properly educated on usage too).

Look up 'Prohibition in the United States (Jan 17, 1920 – Dec 5, 1933)'. See just how well bans of this kind do. Spoiler alert: Not well. Hell, look up the War on Drugs. Did that make drugs go away? Nah, it just ruined lives, and made matters much worse in the grand scheme of things.

[Anarchistguy]

Banning weapons will only affect law abiding citizens. Criminals won't be affected because they couldn't give two sh!ts about obeying laws. This ban won't diminish crime nor is it about fighting crime.

[superstaff]

Banning weapons will only affect law abiding citizens. Criminals won't care since they don't obey laws. This ban won't diminish crime nor is it about fighting crime.

My hope is that one day people will realize that none of these scumbags care about us. We're just tools and playthings to them.

well yeah, of course they want to ban citizens owning guns, how else are they supposed to usher in the new world order? if politicians are trying to take your guns away, it’s because they are planning to do something you would shoot them for. justin trudeau is one of the worst communist dictators out there today, comparable to fidel castro, but he has the “nice guy” persona to virtue signal all his woke supporters. this bastard is soros-owned just like the majority of those fake leftist puppets.

that's the problem and why nothing happens to fix it. You'll have one side arguing that they are needed to help protect against...something.... even if that something never happens. and the other side says the opposite.

No other country seems to have this issue that we have, though. somehow they made it work.

Remember when Hillary was testifying about Benghazi? Probably not. You were too busy watching the elementary school massacre in Connecticut.

Remember when Hillary got tattled on by Blumenthal for using illegal servers in the White House? Probably not. You were too busy watching the Charleston church shooting.

Remember that time Hillary's campaign lawyer went to trial for lying to the FBI about Trumps-Russian collusion? Probably not. You're too busy watching the Uvalde school shooting massacre.

Even if you do that, it won't make crazy people go away. You won't stop serial killers and mass murderers by taking guns away. You're only making other people defenseless.

[Andrew NDB]

Yep. In Mexico you just get roving cartels with machine guns gunning down families on the nightly if they're lucky, chopped up and dissolved in barrels for the camera if they're not. Yes, so terrible in the United States and such a unique problem to it.

[superstaff]

that's the problem and why nothing happens to fix it. You'll have one side arguing that they are needed to help protect against...something.... even if that something never happens. and the other side says the opposite.

Or maybe the reason 'nothing' happens is because there's armed citizens...

Regardless...

No other country seems to have this issue that we have, though. somehow they made it work.

Other countries have other issues with violence. Mexico has drug cartels execute people in the streets, whether with guns or hangings or what-have-you. UK has more stabbings than the norm. Africa is destabilized with all sorts of violence happening, including rapes and murders. Let's not pretend the US is this violent, chaotic nation, and the rest of the world is perfect, and there's no suffering at all.

[superstaff]

Even if you do that, it won't make crazy people go away. You won't stop a serial killer by taking guns away. You're only making other people defenseless.

To add to this, the knowledge of how to create guns would still be retained even if they were all destroyed. All it takes is one guy making a new gun. You'd need to erase all knowledge of guns, and all materials that can be used to create them.

Yeah, I know what you mean, and I'm sure you know what I mean too. Mexico is like Chicago at this point. Lots of violence every day no one cares about.

[Andrew NDB]

And Venezuela. And Ecuador. And Colombia.

Okay. So you see how bans and 'melting all the guns' aren't realistic solutions, right? And you also see how the US isn't the only country with problems with violence, right?

[Coola Yagami]

Not to mention Chicago cares more about installing gendered bathrooms than the actual rampant gangs problem.

[mrmaczaps]

WROOOOOONG. Lol

You know they make 50 round and 100 round drums for handguns too right? My EDC can hold 17 +1 in the chamber. All my handguns are semi auto. I need a revolver at some point but there are a few wants higher in the list than a 5/6 shooter. Lol. My rifle on the other hand, came standard with a 30 round magazine. And then I bought a ton more because loose ammo is useless. In either case, swapping out a magazine takes only a few seconds with practice. Full auto firearms are mostly banned at this point in the US anyways as a special fee & permit is required for each one & the firearms are typically far more expensive as well so only rich people can really afford to do that. The flip side there is anyone with a drill call just pop that 3rd hole into their rifle & suddenly its also a full auto (& a felony to do so).

If you live somewhere that you can get access to firearms, I would highly suggest, even if you hate them, to go take at the very least some kind of intro safety class & learn a few things, first hand. Popping off a few rounds is actually quite fun & relaxing.

Then melt 'em down. harder to get a hold of :).

Printer go brrrrrrrrrrrrr. :tlol:

Shall Not Infringe. ALL gun laws are infringements.

that's the problem and why nothing happens to fix it. You'll have one side arguing that they are needed to help protect against...something.... even if that something never happens. and the other side says the opposite.

Endless cycle .....rinse, repeat.

No other country seems to have this issue that we have, though. somehow they made it work.

Firearms are used over half a million times to save lives, mostly without ever being fired. You won't hear about it on MSM because it goes against their narrative.

Other countries have suicide bombers, knife attacks, acid attacks and the UK has a sh!t ton of unreported rapes & murders. I'll pass on that kind of sh!t, thanks.

Veg, I used to be a person that always thought "nah, I don't need a firearm".... I wasn't scared of them, it just seemed like too much effort to get one, get trained, buy ammo and learn all the things. Then my State passed Constitutional Carry & I bought a firearm because of some civil unrest in town. A group of people (younger kids), not originally from around here moved in & had been shooting at residents with bb guns & ransacking local businesses. The month I got it, I personally, had a run in with 4 of these older guys (but still younger than me) who approached me & tried to basically steal my car. I didn't need to use my firearm thankfully but it was a great deterrent & kept me safe.

Since then I've picked up a new hobby. Lol. And its more fun than reading the sh!t comics being made by the Big Two right now...

[superstaff]

I think it came about because of the pro-choice stuff in that other thread.

To be completely honest (and not to derail the topic of guns too much, though it is related), I feel that giving people the choice to do things is important, whether it's stuff I personally support or not. I get people are touchy about this subject because babies/children always elicit a strong response (see: gun control/school shootings), but... At the end of the day, banning abortion won't do anything feasible because like with guns, drugs, etc, it will just go underground, and people will do it anyway except without any safety measures or education on the matter whatsoever. Like with carrying firearms, I understand why some people feel they must do it. If you ever want to discuss it via PMs, mrmaczaps, feel free to hit me up because I might bring up some stuff on there I'd rather not here at the moment.

I don't trust the government. I think many politicians know they can't stop people from having guns or using drugs or getting abortions. And yet they make various promises that if they just eradicated (thing), then we will all be safe. All the childrens in the world will be at peace if we just made all the guns and drugs and 'bortions go away! Hm. Anytime something gets banned, there's a spike in crimes and arrests. Like I told Vegita-san, Prohibition and War on Drugs. The government loves having any excuse to lock citizens up.

They use these 'hot button issues' as a means to manipulate the masses, and pit us against each other. They want the populace to hate and distrust each other, so then they can turn to their 'saviors' aka the politicians/government. "Please, protect us from the (whatever political side they hate)". All the while, Democrat and Republicans sit together, and profit in various ways. Not sure if this was ever reported on here, but during the height of the pandemic, there was a summit in Geneva (I think?) wherein politicians all over the world including Biden, the Clintons, Trump, Prince Charles, the Queen, Boris Johnson, Macron, etc met, and mingled......unmasked. .....Yeah, I think that says it all, doesn't it?

Yet again, before anyone says "That's such a 1987 thing to say!" Eh... I don't think the hypocrisy and elitism of the government is anything new. Nor is the notion of them using events like a pandemic or a terrorist attack or anything as an excuse to strip us of freedoms. The TSA checks at the airports, which then escalated to body scans, was supposed to be temporary, after all. It's all "for [our] safety". Power grabs like this have happened all throughout history. Corruption exists, and there's people out there who want more and more control over others' lives.

Abortion would do it... and I understand it would go underground. I think it needs to go underground, not be taxpayer funded & be a dangerous life choice. And I'm okay if that makes people think I'm even more of an a$$hole. Such is life.

Lol. Yeah, they did a photo op at that where they all stood grid style at 6 feet apart from each other staggered...

Yes, exactly. They caused 9/11 & then implemented "temporary" security measures, that really only resulted in people being groped...I mean, I flew with a firearm almost 2 years ago & both airports did not follow their own TSA guidelines. One was worse than the other but I flew & my luggage made it too.

The thing is, once you give them an inch, such as allowing them to ban something you dislike, they will probably go an extra thirty miles.

If they're not gonna ban it or quit using tax payer money to fund it, I want tax payer funded guns & ammo. Thats all I'm saying. $40 for a box of .38 super... $150 for 200 rounds of 5.56... lol. And that stuff goes FAST. :tlol:

[superstaff]

Ha.

Now why would the government pay us to arm ourselves, and potentially have weapons we can use to defend from them or overthrow them, silly? :wink:

And honestly, if they were earnest in attempts to assist in abortion reduction, they would also do more to help pregnant women. If they wanted to assist in reducing drug use/addiction, they could do more than they do. But a lot of that money goes towards lining their own pockets. Look into charities and government funded programs, it's an eye opener. Most of that money is never seen by the citizenry, and we're left with peanuts in comparison.

[mrmaczaps]

Yeah, I've seen a lot of that info. I stopped donating to Big Corps that claim to do "good" & instead offer it to people I know or have them see if they know anyone in need...

If democrats would stop shooting people.... *shrug*

[Vegita-San]

Veg, I used to be a person that always thought "nah, I don't need a firearm".... I wasn't scared of them, it just seemed like too much effort to get one, get trained, buy ammo and learn all the things. Then my State passed Constitutional Carry & I bought a firearm because of some civil unrest in town. A group of people (younger kids), not originally from around here moved in & had been shooting at residents with bb guns & ransacking local businesses. The month I got it, I personally, had a run in with 4 of these older guys (but still younger than me) who approached me & tried to basically steal my car. I didn't need to use my firearm thankfully but it was a great deterrent & kept me safe.

Since then I've picked up a new hobby. Lol. And its more fun than reading the sh!t comics being made by the Big Two right now...

yep, I understand that part of it. maybe my viewpoint comes from the fact that we live in a 'cemetery town'. You know there are people in them their houses, but we hardly see anyone.

The most exciting thing happening here is a bear climbing a pole in the middle of town, and i'm fine with that.

I just don't see the need for people to own automatic or semi automatic. all that is designed to do is cause mayhem.

[Andrew NDB]

Nobody can own automatic. And semi automatic is just the same as a pistol. One trigger pull, one bullet. And it's never about "need." Hopefully you never need. But one day you might.

[joe-eyeball]

Actually you can own fully automatic but almost nobody does because it costs too much, availability is poor, and it’s a hassle to get one. A fully automatic rifle would cost you at minimum $10,000 and likely a lot more and you’d still need to apply for the $200 tax stamp and wait nearly a year for approval.

Yeah, but there isn't any kind of an automatic weapons problem here, or even a situation. It doesn't exist. Lumping automatic weapons in there next to semi-automatic ones as if they're part of the same "problem" is stupid.

Found this video of someone taking the time to examine the claim and statistics behind saying that america is the "mass shooting capital of the world". If this is to be believed, then we are just a normal member of it.

Full auto are astronomically unaffordable for most people. Its a non-issue.

Nearly all other firearms are semi-auto. Except pump action & revolvers basically. They're tools. They don't go around going off on their own. I carry 2 firearms on me daily. No one in my immediate radius is in danger of anything from me, unless they intend me harm first. My firearms are deterrents. They work well this way. Over 5 million lawful uses of firearms as a deterrent to crimes, most are never reported on...

Also, if that bear decides to chase your a$$ down when you step out for the mail? Then you just die? Or, you're armed and you get a new throw rug.

Retarded people being retarded. It's like talking about how racist the United States is when it's quantifiably the least racist place to be on the planet, and by far.

I can’t disagree with you! Almost nobody bothers with fully automatic anything but the media and politicians have done an excellent job convincing morons that most semi autos are “machine guns”

It’s sad how dumb some people are!

Stay tuned. They didn't say the race of the shooter which generally means it isn't white, so not useful to their narrative.

[1987]

Stay tuned. They didn't say the race of the shooter which generally means it isn't white, so not useful to their narrative.

theres been a few times where even if the shooter isn’t white, the media was still able to spin the narrative somehow and attribute the shooting to white supremacy.

although it seems theyre not playing the race card at the moment, theyre more focused on gun control. new world order wants to take guns away from law abiding citizens of all races.

and another school shooting today in Van Nuys CA 1 injured

[Leo656]

Even if you don't believe in conspiracies, you CAN'T ignore how a rash of copycats crop up immediately after one of these incidents becomes a mainstream media staple. And every time, there's more and more of them.

It's been like this ever since Columbine. People who are disaffected and disenfranchised see someone becoming a "celebrity" and being the talk of every person in the country, and they figure "Well... I WAS just gonna take some Sodium Nitrate and drop dead in my bedroom next to a whiny note about how nobody was ever nice to me, but... y'mean I can be FAMOUS, too? Well sh*t, that sounds like a MUCH better idea!"

When nobody knew these assholes' names, these things didn't happen as much. That's an easily-proven and easily-researched statistical fact. Now that these people get everyone in the world knowing their names, it's an everyday thing. Coincidence? Nah.

STOP making this sh*t a headline, STOP naming the shooters and making them into celebrities, and STOP using the bodies of the victims as a political tool for the agenda du jour. Make this sh*t anonymous again, and watch them all dry up in a hurry.

[Andrew NDB]

Stay tuned. They didn't say the race of the shooter which generally means it isn't white, so not useful to their narrative.

So yeah. Shooter was black. And it's already stopped trending.

cnn narrative: “he was oppressed his whole life by systematic racism, walked down a bad path and was just on the verge of turning his life around, then this happens…”

sad!

[Andrew NDB]

From what I understand, he was just a black dude who had a botched back surgery, then went to kill his back surgeon and killed anyone who got in his way of doing so. It's possible he was so full of CNN that in the back of his head he was thinking, "Maybe that probably racist white surgeon botched my back surgery on purpose, because I'm black!" but who knows.

[Coola Yagami]

From what I understand, he was just a black dude who had a botched back surgery, then went to kill his back surgeon and killed anyone who got in his way of doing so.

But but...i mean....but I mean he was also oppressed right? Or the doctor was white and purposely botched the surgery cause racism right?

today’s mass shooting was in Racine, Wisconson, at a funeral for a black guy that was killed by police. 5 people shot. can’t find the cnn article

https://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/critical-incident-at-graceland-cemetery-large-police-presence

was reading on twitter that the man shot by police, Da’Shontay “Day Day” Lucas King Sr, did indeed have a criminal history and broke gun laws. now check this out, just yesterday there was a news article glorifying the guy as a saint

https://journaltimes.com/lifestyles/announcements/obituaries/dashontay-l-king-sr/article_d740ce03-ae44-5532-bc72-ba4e1afcf767.html

then the next day, today, same news outlet puts out a new article about today’s shooting at the cemetery

https://journaltimes.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/update-multiple-people-shot-at-graceland-cemetery-ascension-all-saints-hospital-on-lockdown/article_16fa7cda-e2ad-11ec-b4c8-c32663ea807d.html

thats how the media incites racial violence. the man left behind 4 sons who are probably now gonna grow up hating America and everyone who disagrees with them is a racist

dont know much about this story but here’s an article from last week when he was killed, says he had a gun on him

https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/2022/05/24/family-questions-actions-racine-officer-who-fatally-shot-man-last-week/9899579002/

man kills 2 women then himself, double murder suicide. can’t find any info on race, so not sure if this is white supremacy or oppressed minority.

regardless, more fuel for democrats to cry gun control. mass shootings on the rise, must be an election year.

It's more like a paparazzi (or just some starstruck guy, it's hard to tell from the video) was walking backwards and ran into her, making her stumble.

[1987]

there was Mexican born conservative woman, Mayra Flores, being sworn into congress, and during a photo op with her family, nancy pelosi appears to be elbowing and shoving her little daughter, what nasty evil sick woman to bully a child like that because her parents have different political views, old rich leftist white woman shoving the young daughter of a hispanic conservative woman, right in front of the cameras. not sure if that’s liberal privilege or white supremacy. democrats have been showing their true klansmen colors lately, attacking that black SCOTUS judge with racial slurs, and now this
