This is a stretch. To say that because a believe A then I actually knowingly or I’m unknowingly believe B is not a logical argument.

I’m anti gun. I also believe that are are numerous systemic problems that need to be fixed that don’t automatically get better because everyone has a gun.

Take the USA as an example. Their political system is not functioning in the best interest of the population. Everyone having guns hasn’t stopped this from happening.

The same thing is true in the UK where there are much stricter gun laws but the outcome is very similar.

Guns are not the simple solution ‘pro gun’ would have you believe and they are not the only way to have a functioning democracy.

Panic over, just lack of internet 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m not exactly sure, someone else mentioned it but only from your second note so I just copied that and put it on the 1st note to help others find the other notes.

The legal defense fund for Samourai Wallet is now open and accepting donations: https://p2prights.org/

This particular fight is important because the precedent set in this matter will either reinforce the principles that non-custodial wallets are not money transmitters or it will put targets on the backs of all wallet developers.

If you really came here for the freedom tech then get in this fight and show your support. There will not be a second chance to repair the damage done if the DOJ is not stopped here and now.

But he said that over 200 years ago. Back then you were lucky if you could fire 3 shots a minute with a riffle. Weapons were different now and so is the governance of the entire country. Just because something used to be true doesn’t mean it will always be true.

What I hear when people argue for the right to bear arms is

“I don’t care how many mass shootings there are, I don’t care how many children die; It’s more important that everyone has the right to carry a gun just in case at some point in the future we need to overthrow the government.”

In a society built on the foundations of freedom and individual rights, the Second Amendment stands as a crucial pillar of our constitutional framework. It guarantees the right of the people to keep and bear arms, ensuring our ability to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our property.

The right to bear arms is not merely a historical relic but a fundamental aspect of safeguarding our liberties in the present day. It empowers law-abiding citizens to defend against potential threats, whether they be from criminal activity, tyranny, or unforeseen emergencies.

Furthermore, the Second Amendment fosters a sense of self-reliance and personal responsibility. It encourages individuals to take an active role in their own safety and the security of their communities, rather than relying solely on government entities.

Critics may argue for stricter gun control measures, but it's essential to recognize that responsible gun ownership is not synonymous with violence. The vast majority of gun owners are law-abiding citizens who use firearms for self-defense, hunting, and sport shooting.

Moreover, history has shown that disarming law-abiding citizens does not prevent crime but instead leaves them vulnerable to criminals who obtain firearms through illicit means. In contrast, a well-regulated system that upholds the Second Amendment can help ensure that firearms remain in the hands of RESPONSIBLE individuals (x amount of training time per month, passing mental wellness tests, no background of robberies…).

In essence, the right to bear arms is about more than just owning guns—it's about preserving our freedoms, protecting our loved ones, and upholding the principles upon which our nation was founded. It is a right that must be cherished, respected, and defended for generations to come.

#SecondAmendment #RightToBearArms

As a non American it still baffles me every time I hear someone try to justify the right to bear arms while missing the whole context of the amendment; the population of the US are no longer well regulated militia.

It’s not like all other western democracies have failed because their citizens don’t have the right to own a gun.

The amendment had its place in time but it’s no longer relevant in a civilised democracy.

Take a step back and think who benefits from this, the police can’t police every post on the internet. Someone hurting my feelings is my problem. In my day we said “sticks and stones will break my bone”, but suppose that’s now hate speech. "that a reasonable person would consider to be threatening or abusive," hmmmmm, I’ve listened to politicians, they are no reasonable, this is a law that will end badly.

Up to 7 years for saying words! When did it become the governments job to make sure no-one ever has their feelings hurt?

nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx one of the things like about the podcast is the variety of guests you have on but the other day I realised I don’t remember ever hearing anyone present a well reasoned bearish case for bitcoin.

This is not exactly true. Cooking food changes the bioavailability of various nutrients. That is to say it changes what is available for your body to absorb. Some nutrients will become more available some less. As with everything diet related, moderation and variety is the key.
