A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

which became the latest victim of liberal Democrats' madness.

Yeah how dare democrats try to reduce deaths. Truly madness. Real Americans want as many people to die as possible.

How many murders have NY gun control policies prevented?

[–] PizzaMane@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This is a loaded question that fundamentally misundertands that gun control is a national issue, not a local or state one. Because we have lax borders between states, the strongest gun control law can only ever be as strong as the weakest gun control law nationally.

That, and there's the fact that even the existing laws that aren't effected by such an issue are toothless thanks to originalism.

So what you're saying is NY's gun laws don't work. Do democrats pass those laws to pat themselves on the back?

If you're not even going to attempt to understand what I am saying, don't bother.

[–] jimbolauski@lemm.ee -3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Your inability to articulate your convoluted point that NY's gun control saves lives but that local gun control laws don't work is squarely on you.

No, I articulated my point perfectly well. You just prefer ignorance. I can't fix your values or preferences.

[–] jimbolauski@lemm.ee -3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I get it, defending liberal ideas is hard it requires suspension of logic and reason. You'll never be able to communicate with conservatives if you can't explain your ideas using logic or reason.

[–] PizzaMane@lemm.ee 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I gave you logic and reason. I explained it very well. You simply prefer to not to acknowledge the truth.

[–] jimbolauski@lemm.ee -1 points 8 months ago

Further proof you have no idea what logic or reason is. I'll give you props you made it 3 posts without conducting yourself. You get a gold star.

We have a culture problem, not a gun problem. Yet, nobody wants to talk about the culture problem.

You mean to tell me that the war on morality has consequences.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee -1 points 9 months ago

It’s the thought that counts

When I was 11 or 12 my dad gave me a Remington 22 rimfire and that thing was so poorly assembled, nobody told me that's not how a rifle is supposed to be. It's probably still in a closet in my mom's house.
