r/tuesday This lady's not for turning 19d ago

Semi-Weekly Discussion Thread - December 16, 2024

INTRODUCTION

/r/tuesday is a political discussion sub for the right side of the political spectrum - from the center to the traditional/standard right (but not alt-right!) However, we're going for a big tent approach and welcome anyone with nuanced and non-standard views. We encourage dissents and discourse as long as it is accompanied with facts and evidence and is done in good faith and in a polite and respectful manner.

PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD

Like in r/neoliberal and r/neoconnwo, you can talk about anything you want in the Discussion Thread. So, socialize with other people, talk about politics and conservatism, tell us about your day, shitpost or literally anything under the sun. In the DT, rules such as "stay on topic" and "no Shitposting/Memes/Politician-focused comments" don't apply.

It is my hope that we can foster a sense of community through the Discussion Thread.

IMAGE FLAIRS

r/Tuesday will reward image flairs to people who write an effort post or an OC text post on certain subjects. It could be about philosophy, politics, economics, etc... Available image flairs can be seen here. If you have any special requests for specific flairs, please message the mods!

The list of previous effort posts can be found here

I’ll keep saying it until I’m blue in the face. If a minor misuses a firearm, somewhere there exists its adult owner, who needs to be consistently and reliably held accountable for failing to exercise positive control over their shit.

I was at a family thanksgiving gathering and found a handgun just sitting in a metal wire basket. Found out it belonged to my brother in law. There are five kids around who could have grabbed it. When confronted he said "it's not like they could cock it, it takes a to much strength". And then he left it there again the next day and ended up leaving it over night on accident. 

I'm pro the legal right to own a gun, but I don't think he is mature enough to own a gun...

I probably would've hidden it somewhere and let him freak out about it for a while.
