We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Alright, let's dig into this hot mess,
> literally provides example of buybacks working and removing a majority and change of all civlian owned firearms
> "BuYbAcKs Do NoT wOrK. pErIoD."
If you have a gun a new law would make illegal it's immune to the new law so long as you can prove it was bought before the law, and you have to sell it directly to the buyback program only.
Same way as in Japan, random once a year visit from the local sherrifs/deputies to spot check everything is stored and accounted for in proper order. No different than kit inspection in the millitary.
Ah so you just don't know anything about what you're talking about and are upsetti spaghetti that your "literally even less effective than waving a literal security blanket in an attacker's face" security blanket firearm is being scrutinized. I'm picturing you sweating about how we must be aiming to take your coal roller next!
Yes please show us how your about to cram your foot into your mouth.
Well that's a strong start...you didn't provide shit showing buy backs work... I'll give you a second chance.
Ah the classic mocking camel casing, because you actually lack a coherent thought to type out. Really strong opening so far.
We'll use an anti gun source for this one:

What in the fuck does this even mean, can you use a comma or...Jesus I don't even know if a fucking comma is gonna help
Lol so who's paying these people to go to every gun owners home? 1/3rd of Americans own a firearm(this is a debatable number because not everyone reports having them and you can get them without ever buying one from a store)...so who do you plan on hiring to go around and check on 90+ million firearm owners?
Lol you might want to go read my other comments... you're arguing with someone on the left and not some idiot repub/conservative trumpist. I literally want federal law for abortion rights, single payer, legalizing all drugs, safety nets, UBI, reforming the police, ending qualified immunity, ending for profit prisons, paying teachers more, pro union, anti-right to work law, raising the minimum wage, pro LGBTQ+... basically everything the majority of the left agrees with... except I'm a die hard 2a supporter...armed minorities are harder to oppress.
