There was bipartisan support to use the no-fly list to deny people their second amendment rights. Luckily that idea never got a lot of traction.

chakoo Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Looks like Epik (which provides hosting and anti-DDOS protection for Gab, the Daily Stormer, and now 8chan) is now getting its own backend services pulled by yet another infrastructure company, Voxility. https://t.co/nRVRonbHLF— Kevin Roose (@kevinroose) August 5, 2019 happy days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was you're girl AOC equating all mass shootings to white supremacy when, you know, they're not. It's just a supremely idiotic and moronic thing to say.

Uaarkson Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 The entire conservative approach to mass shootings seems to be pretty well scripted at this point: thoughts and prayers -> video games did it -> change focus to left-wing "extremists" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did not suggest all mass shootings are tied to white supremacy, which makes it all the more entertaining that you would accuse *her* of being the dumbass.

There is nothing that needs to be assumed if you have a basic command of the English language (though noted prescriptivist @Kal-El814 would probably question that in this instance...) In fact, the assumption that she only believe there is one is the MUCH bigger assumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the assumption that she only believe there is one is the MUCH bigger assumption. The sentence doesn’t give any indication of whether she thinks it is the only cause or there are many, but it only lists one cause so we only know of this single cause she believes based on the tweet. I do assume she knows there are other reasons, but wrote the tweet this way to emphasize the ridiculousness of the video game blame and elevate the motivation and link to Trump and the spineless GOP of white supremacy. But you’re just wrong that the plain reading acknowledges more reasons, it matter of factor does not. Easiest way to verify that is if you did believe it was the only reason that sentence would reflect that even though it’s also a weak way to communicate that.

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Our 2A extremist gun culture is rooted in white supremacy, as @Anathema-mentioned somewhere here recently. An open carrying black man doesn't have the same rights as a white guy doing the same thing. And that gun culture is making it politically impossible to make new laws to help fix the situation.

Shit the NRA and Ronald Reagan actually were AGAINST the Black Panthers exercising their second amendment rights. There is indeed a connection to racism an how our gun laws are handled and implemented in this country. 46 minutes ago, Chris- said: Her exact words were, "Video games aren’t causing mass shootings, white supremacy is."

Nothing in that Tweet would have you believe that she assumes White Supremacy is the ONLY cause of mass shootings. Just that White Supremacy is more of a cause than videogames ever could be. Also I like how the go to insult against AOC is to insult her intelligence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
