In November 2022, an inmate at the facility’s low-security prison camp pulled out a gun and attempted to shoot a visitor in the head. The weapon, which the inmate shouldn’t have had ....

Well, that seems a bit obvious.

Just to take a jab at the US from a European perspective...

You don't have the right to bear arms in prison? I thought guns were sacred in the US!?

Careful, I'm sure there's some asswipe from where I grew up who wants to throw a bunch of guns in and walk away to let them "sort it out" or some shit. If you go redneck enough reality begins to satirize satire.

We're probably like 3 or 4 main timeline events away from this becoming a legitimate state policy - and it's not much longer before it is made into a reality TV show for public entertainment.

The Running Man theme intensifies

Yeah, nothing in the second amendment says they shouldn't have guns.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Nothing in the second amendment says who should have guns at all unless you interpret it as saying only a militia should have them. That's a big part of the problem.

You should read the text of our 13th amendment.
