Gun control laws work for people of low intelligence or low moral character. A criminal of middling intelligence can get guns anywhere in the world. These criminals clearly were not very smart. They were impulsive and short-sighted, which is why they would not be able to get guns.
The proper word for disarmed people is : SLAVE.
If you are not allowed to be armed, you are a slave. You are not free. You can mealy-mouth it all you want with nonsensical and false political rhetoric, or try to massage the lie with statistics, or whatever. But the fact remains that a man who is disarmed is slave to the man who is armed. The armed man is allowed to easily kill you if you don't submit to his commands, and that is slavery. Just because the masters put a cute tin star and hat on the slavers, doesn't change the nature of what they are: SLAVERS.
"Those who beat their swords into plowshares plow for those who didn't."
Someone has declared themself your master, and told their slave, 'thou shalt not resist by force, the force we force upon you; thou shalt call this, freedom, safety, and law.'
Many slaves love their slavery. They have a word for it : FREEDOM. These 'freedom' loving slaves desire to force their 'freedom' on others, using officers with guns to do it. How do they do this? Why, they beg their master government to use guns, to impose this unarmed state of 'freedom' on everyone else. So those arguing for gun control aren't arguing for gun control. They are arguing for men with guns to control other people without guns and keep them that way. There is a word for this: HYPOCRISY.
Advocates of gun control are against violence, unless it is state thugs doing the violence to people they don't like. Then they are pro-violence all day, every day, praising the violence their police do to others in the name of their slavery racket.
These are weapons wielded by the state that kill vastly more victims than common criminals with guns or blades. VASTLY MORE by massive orders of magnitude.
People are intimidated by the tools when they should be concerned about the weapons.
Your juvenile and race-slur language and profanity are unacceptable, dumb savage behavior. You might think you are being 'edgy'. You're just a spectacle of stupidity. [blocked]
This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "f*** around and find out." Brutal.
What is it with these perps carrying machetes? A machete is for toting around in the woods and brush, not downtown. And threatening police with a machete is a real stupid move and removes all sympathy for the suspect. Just dumb.
On the same site a Canadian suspect fled across the border into USA and was captured by the Washington State Patrol. This genius also had a machete. What gives?
I was thinking of setting up a dedicated box to serve my files on all the P2P networks I could find. I don't even know if some of them are active any more.
I do know that edonkey still has some peers. WinMX became DarkMX and has a few dedicated peers. Other than that, IDK. What about Limewire, Phex, or gnutella in general? Does anyone still use these old nets?
Last week I used transmission-GTK to download a Linux ISO. I occasionally use LibreTorrent on Android, but only when I need to grab something away from the Desktop machine.
comp.os.plan9 still exists. Some plan9 maintainers were recently discussing appointing a moderator for the group to get it active again. People are thinking about the 'missing moderator' problem and how to solve it. The discussion is in this thread:
"The MVI was prompted by one of the directors of the Plan 9 Foundation, who had written to the Board with the intention of reviving the newsgroup, perhaps via a bidirectional gateway to the 9fans mailing list. He suggested converting the group to unmoderated, but as this is a rather experimental solution, we proposed running an MVI, at least as a first step, to see if the group could remain moderated."
Some people want Usenet to die so they keep saying it is dead. Unfortunately a lot of people take them at their word and don't even bother to check it out. The ISC / Big8 Board is active again and taking care of business in the Big8 hierarchies. Some of us refuse to walk away from Usenet because we understand from experience that it has some features superior to all social networks, especially for decentralization and censorship avoidance. NNTP is simple compared to many 'modern' protocols and easily extended for custom applications.
Like many other memes and political slogans, it is falsely attributed to someone who actually didn't say it.
So we have gone from, "Let them eat cake" to "Make them eat cake [bugs]" as a political meme used by journalists and agitators to promote an agenda of faux resistance.

Maybe Canada will give the bankers and stock traders more thievingsraum?
In essence Trump is trolling, and people are falling for it. The distraction campaign is working.
This 'outrage' trolling is being used as a starting point for constant recycling of political and economic talking points.

One can find little quips like this in Usenet archives:
Donkey Button == Ass Key == ASCII

A police officer is a weapon.
A soldier is a weapon.
These are weapons wielded by the state that kill vastly more victims than common criminals with guns or blades. VASTLY MORE by massive orders of magnitude.
People are intimidated by the tools when they should be concerned about the weapons.

DarkMX is old-school and very retro:
https://darkmx.app/
It also has a debian package downloadable from the site. One can run it in a container and forget about it.
@CanaryWhiskey@lemmy.world
The link looks fishy. 'ytmnd.com' looks like a spammy domain.

"Let them eat cake" is a very old journalist meme about government indifference to the horrible suffering it causes to the impoverished people.

I have forwarded your politically-correct agitprop response to the Eh-Team. Don't call them. They'll call you.
