Hello! I'm a POC (black/latino) autistic/ADHD dragon from Brazil. I use he/they/it pronouns, and my interests are usually gaming and drawing. Reddit refugee after getting banned multiple times for "threatening violence" for standing up against fascism.

    Trump is exclusively attempting to invade cities that have assault weapon bans, because he doesn't want resistance.

  • You joke but I'm a libertarian socialist and I say the government SHOULD be scared of regular people with weapons. Not to say I'm for a free-for-all when it comes to firearms, but I'm more partial to laws targeting law enforcement and handgun restrictions than something like an assault weapons ban.

  • Oh I am well aware of the abomination attachments to make those guns compliant with the laws. But I guess Trump's just too stupid to even think those exist.

  • No, but they can threaten to leave the country for Canada if ICE threatens their employees. Given that Trump has an obsession with "companies manufacturing in America" he would probably chicken out.

  • And you think Nintendo wouldn't be petty enough to bring this to the media AND threaten to leave the US? Trump's a fucking pussy. If the legal Nintendo team even implied they'd leave the country he would chicken out. We're talking about the orange TACO here.

  • The statement itself seems to be legalese for "DHS will hear from us and we are not happy".

  • Abundance of guns does not indicate that the country is more prone to violence, though. Switzerland has significantly laxer laws on who can own a gun than over 20 US states, EVERYONE is obligated to own a fully automatic SG550 from their military service, and a vibrant gun culture, and yet, no one's going around shooting people. It's a result of right wing extremism, decades of propaganda running on people's TVs, toxic right wing gun culture that is not countered by responsible gun culture from the left because liberals hate guns (and only because it became a problem for them after school shootings became common), and the refusal of government to address those issues. To add to that, white liberals literally take over ANY gun control talk and make it about their white feelings. That's exactly what's happening here with you. Despite minorities being the lead in support for gun control, we literally do NOT ever get to talk about our experiences. The only thing that matters in gun control discussions is white liberals putting their feelings and their feelings ONLY in the table, and advocating for assault weapon bans (which wouldn't matter), universal background checks (that already exist) and "common sense gun control" (which they change the definition every time to suit what they think). And liberal politicians also add fuel to the fire by EXCLUDING COPS FROM CERTAIN BANS and giving them more and more budget to "fight crime" every year.

    There is no such thing as a "mass shooting problem" because it literally kills less people per year than GETTING STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. The media turns every single one of those into a spectacle and that's why the majority of people think it's such a problem. Police violence, on the other hand, is NOT statistically insignificant, and especially not for POC. After the assassination of the UHC CEO, the media literally turned every other time a CEO died into just a damn footnote, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT COPYCATS. The media can stop making those mass shootings a spectacle, but they won't, because IT GIVES THEM MONEY.

    The gun control movement has a HUGE problem with white supremacy, including from people who THINK they're not being racist, and then proceed to support liberal politicians with tough on crime policies who give 12 gorillion dollars to the cops of big cities so they can purchase MRAPs, IFVs, fully automatic rifles and tons of other shit they don't fucking need. And the SCOTUS ruling doesn't matter, just get yourselves a SCOTUS that would rule cops have an obligation to help and investigate everything.

    Please listen to us. Common sense cop control WILL solve all of this shit you mentioned without ever touching gun laws.

  • Wow. Zero shame on that. Absolute pieces of human trash.

  • Oh whoop, wrong. There's been only 14 deaths. Which one of these are actual mass shootings and not something the FBI defines as one but the media doesn't? Like a bunch of gangbangers shooting at each other, wounding nobody, and causing a stampede that results in people twisting their ankles? That's considered a mass shooting by the FBI.

    I pulled the numbers straight from here. Since 1983, 1176 people were killed in mass shootings.

    Also, implying that the "mass shooting problem" requires "extensive work" is not good optics. All that America needs to do is suppress extremist right wing bullshit and mass shootings will cease to exist. Controlling the police on the other hand would require a lot more political power and a lot of reforms, but it would both reduce the amount of deaths AND curb down mass shootings at the same time because literally every single mass shooter only got to commit it because the cops didn't care.

  • The police kills more people every year than the amount of people killed in mass shootings since 1983. They also repeatedly ignore reports of people who go on to commit school shootings.

    You should look into common sense pig control. I think that would save more lives than just being hysterical about AR-15s.

  • The trick would try to make it more expensive for Nintendo to not act than otherwise. People on Twitter are already trying to ragebait Nintendo by claiming they'll cancel their Nintendo Online subscriptions and sell their Switches if they don't do anything.

    Jump

  • Duh, just get enough people on Twitter to say they'll cancel their Nintendo Online subscriptions and sell their Switches if they refuse to act and they'll do it in a dime.

    Also, people literally forced Disney's hand by cancelling all of their subscriptions. Bullying corporations is extremely easy now that we have access to their social media.

  • It doesn't matter, Nintendo cares about their brand more than their own lives and if enough people said "I can't believe Nintendo is supporting human rights violations!" they would bury ICE under a lawsuit. We're talking about Nintendo here, the company who literally makes most of its money from suing people. Them just waving and smiling at ICE literally using their IP for nefarious purposes is so OOC it's actually insane anyone would even consider it.

  • Ragebaiting Nintendo into suing the Trump administration is such an absurd situation and I'm even MORE flabbergasted at the fact it could actually work.

  • DHS should not have fucked around with Nintendo

    Jump

  • This type of content by the DHS could literally damage Nintendo's brand, and all of us are painfully aware at how strongly Nintendo protects their brand. I'm fairly sure they WOULD throw the weight of all their lawyers against the administration for even daring to associate human rights violations with them.
