I'm not a gun owner. Indeed I'm very much opposed to people being able to own guns and hope that someday they will be banned in the U.S. I do understand your perspective and why this is upsetting to you. For me I see it as a step toward people being more anti-gun ownership. Societies evolve and social views change. Our views on marijuana, smoking, etc. have changed over the decades. I hope I am now seeing the beginni…
Offtopic: What legal mechanism do you propose to use to ban the private ownership of firearms in the United States of America? Edit: Additionally, what do you want done about all of the currently legal guns that exist in this country when this ban goes into effect?
A constitutional ammendment is the most straightforward way.

A constitutional ammendment is the most straightforward way.
So a repeal of the Second Amendment to the Constitution?

#45Are the big social media companies working together to ban content? What are the odds that reddit and youtube ban similar content on the same day?
What a sad day. Reddit used to be something so special.
If only tech giants stood together and fought the corporate interests and NGOs pushing censorship on them.
I've pretty much stopped using reddit because it's full of political nonsense now anyways. If they are going to be banning subs every 6 months, what's the point of reddit anymore?

The problem with voat is it basically the dregs of reddit so no-one respectable wants to be associated with it. But if reddit bans enough stuff that is semi-respectable and those people are able to hold their nose to migrate to voat they might end up making voat respectable enough to overcome their current poor reputation.
It has reached that point. I'm moving to voat.
Let us know what kind of riveting discussions you have with racists, sexists, and conspiracy theorists.

#47Great, so /r/gundeals, which was nothing more than a sales aggregator for law-abiding online retailers, is gone, but /r/the_donald, a vile, rampantly bigoted, conspiracy-theory-peddling shithole, is allowed to stay?
You added "law-abiding". How do you know this?
I checked /r/gundeals on nearly a daily basis and never saw anything illegal[0]. I can't find the full rules to the sub anymore [1], but I believed they banned posting gun sales that weren't through an FFL (which is actually stricter than the law).
[0] there were products that aren't legal in certain states or cities, but nothing that is illegal at the fed level.

>hope that someday they will be banned in the U.S How would something like that possibly be carried out?
Similar to how other bans get carried out. Make it illegal and send those who violate the law to jail.

I've deleted both my YouTube and reddit accounts. I've been trying to de-Google my life, this will probably accelerate that. Just need a proper mobile Linux device and I can finally dump Android.
Why not an iPhone? At least Apple seems to care about privacy, and they aren't an ad-tech company like Google or FB.
Apple pretends to care about privacy as long as it is good for the bottom line.

Just like drugs. It’s easy.
