Yeah. It reminds me of "my spoon is too big", an internet classic that's 20+ years old.

Same category of weirdness, but the onion one is even more messed up.
Still fascinating to watch.

Edit: no I take that back. After reviewing I must conclude that they're EQUALLY MESSED UP ๐Ÿ˜ง

Edit2: What have I posted, my memory supressed most of these things ๐Ÿคฏ

@Retro in about two weeks I'm getting a visitor. One of your fellow countrymen. He's a northerner.

You come off as a southerner to me (because nerds do not live up north). Is this video accurate? ๐Ÿ˜

While there is definitely an element of irony in answering a question on gun law and then getting shot only moments later, I must address that the right to bear arms does not equal "the right to get shot" (what kind of right is that?).
It's kinda like: people may have the right to have a can of spray paint. Doesn't mean you have the right to get your house graffiti'd.

Now, whether or not people should have the right to bear arms is a different discussion. Either way: "the right to get shot" is phrase that doesn't really make sense, at least not to me.

To give this post -- in the spirit of this thread -- a humorous element, here is a visualization of the right to bear arms.

Alternatively, some believe in the right to arm bears.

Discuss.

I get where that phrase is coming from and it's sarcasm that's very well phrased.

Allowing the general population to bear arms the way they do means that one is more likely to get shot*, which has been happening for decades and this time the victim was him, hence he "had the right to get shot". If he'd been against such widespread gun use, then this meme wouldn't exist and instead there would be one praising him for being a hero who died for a just cause.

While, of course, it wasn't right to murder him, if you Google him, you'll see that he was quite a poisonous Trumpian character who was close to Trump. The irony for me, is that I'd never heard of him before he got shot, despite him being clearly well known and able to pull in large crowds.

*Think scenarios like road rage, or those brave gunmen who go shooting up schools full of 5 year olds for no reason. This is just the tip of the iceberg and that's what happens by allowing all and sundry to bear arms, which happens an awful lot over there. It's a big reason why I'm glad I don't live in that country as the increased possibility of getting shot scares me.

We must of course remember Stephen King had to make a public apology and withdraw a tweet that indicated Charlie KIrk advocating violence against gays. How often does this occur?

Here is Charlie Kirk defending gay lifestyle against an extremist who does hate them. Now if you read most of the press you'd think Charlie Kirk hated gays.
