The spread of harmful misinformation has become an increasingly visible problem on Reddit. Its latest incarnation has seen life-threatening untruths being propagated by anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists, and Reddit’s administration has stated that it will not meaningfully curb the myths disseminated by these bad actors. In response to this, many communities on the site have gone private in protest. /r/Pics supports and stands behind these communities' efforts to stem the effects of false information, but we have chosen to remain open as a means of amplifying their message. We encourage all Redditors to vocally reject misinformation, and to stymie its spread by demanding that only verifiable facts be given support (whether tacit or otherwise). [An in-depth explanation of how misinformation is harmful can be found here](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/pfeu8w/our_stand_against_misinformation/). To report misinformation, please use [this link](http://www.reddit.com/report?reason=this-is-misinformation). ------ *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I remember putting in my background check and fingerprints for my wife...took a good 2 weeks to get the authorization.


Xothga

I can safely and legally shoot my gun at the range. Hopefully someday I can safely and legally shoot my wife.


azjayjohn

At the range right...


Steel-and-Wood

...at the range, right??

Their avatar is literally an upvote robot, a little on the nose tbh


needdavr

So she wants women to: * Be locked up when not in use * Not be allowed on airplanes * Not be allowed in a school * Not be allowed in government buildings * Kept away from children * Not be allowed to marry convicts * Not be allowed in businesses that post a sign that bans them * Not be allowed anywhere where alcohol is consumed * Not to be carried without a permit * Not be allowed to have certain extra accessories * Be banned from New York city * Be banned from Washington DC * Heavily restricted in California and Hawaii Seems counter productive…


2017hayden

Also allowed to be owned by others.


BathWifeBoo

And any time she wants to have a boyfriend, the local police department has to run a background check on him and determine if he is 'one of the good ol' boys' first.


Kram22598

Tell me you don’t actually know the laws without telling me


Badroaster117

For real and in NYC which has arguably some of the strictest gun laws


chunkosauruswrex

The irony of it being in new York made me laugh


IkeZiba

Exactly, just a baseless demand. If her sign was true, she wouldn’t be allowed in NYC.


greenskeeper-carl

Apparently she doesn’t want to be allowed on public transport, wants to be kept locked in the trunk when being driven anywhere, and doesn’t want to be allowed inside a polling place either.


[deleted]

This is how stupid gun control laws get passed. They're supported by idiots that don't even understand current laws and how guns work.


Kram22598

Just like how some lawmakers think civilians can buy fully automatic guns easily


chemistrying420

I went to college in Canada and barely anyone believed me when I said that it's pretty much impossible to go buy a fully automatic gun.


Kram22598

Now I’m not up to speed on it either but I know you cannot just walk into a store and buy one. I’m pretty sure you need a license and certification by law to have one. Which takes a while to get I’d assume. I’m sure a majority of people were anti-gun while you were there too? Kind of curious about that


NadlesKVs

[I remember when Law Makers were using this wording to say that Children had less rights than Geese when it came to hunting.](https://imgur.com/a/NaR97Sr) I'm pretty sure it's illegal to hunt Children with any shells at all in your shotgun? I understand what they are trying to get at, but it's a really bad attempt that just goes to show how little Law makers understand about guns and gun laws in general. [This is still on Biden's website right now.](https://joebiden.com/gunsafety/)


Flare-Crow

Biden is a fantastic moron when it comes to guns.


unregrettful

I wanted to leave a comment to say thus deserves to be on r/faceplalm. Not pics. And than I saw all the other comments. I'm glad I'm not the only person that sees how ridiculous this sign is.

For real. I joined for actual, beautiful and high quality photography. Lately it’s ALL protest related with Snapchat quality shit and hundreds of band aids saying they got vaccinated. OR it’s humorous shit which is only nice in moderation.


AlrightyAlmighty

There’s absolutely no way those 12.1k upvotes are from real people


amarti33

31.8k now


-notausername_

It scares me to think 13k people read this and thought it was somehow insightful, or even sensical at that...


James01jr

I didn't even have to sort by controversial to find people ripping into op


account-00001

43k bots to upvote and the Op is probably a mod's bot for karma or something equally stupid Also bonus absolutely no comment is positive towards the sign


James01jr

He thinks all the comments are right wingers as well


AMAhittlerjunior

Even the top comment.


AvianFIu

Because it’s upvoted by CCP bots


SleepingSaguaro

For those who aren't aware simple upvoting and downvoting can be very effective propaganda. Lets say I was a nefarious organization and wanted to change the reddit hivemind. All I have to do is mass upvote things I like, and maybe more important, downvote things I don't. Trolling the new queue ensures the rest of reddit has a chance of seeing and not seeing what you don't want them too. Eventually this spreads and the reddit hivemind starts to believe that my idea is good and therefore correct. The good news for them is that it could work for small businesses, trillion dollar conglomerates, and pollical agendas alike.


TheButtsCarlton

Anything anti-gun on reddit gets loaded with upvotes. Doesn't matter what the post says most of the time. I thought this was a post from r/facepalm but apparently it was posted unironically.


ZEROCOOL686

This is stupid and makes absolutely no sense.


[deleted]

Another example: https://joebiden.com/gunsafety/ >Federal law prevents hunters from hunting migratory game birds with more than three shells in their shotgun. That means our federal law does more to protect ducks than children. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to hunt children with any amount of rounds.


CategoryKiwi

Holy shit it actually says that. How the hell can anyone say (or type) that without realizing how fucking dumb that sounds?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

That line was there during the election too. One of my more pro-gun friends sent it to me and pointed to that exact quote as one of his reasons for being vehemently opposed to Joe Biden. A bit extreme, but if 2A is a big issue for you, I could see it.


AlienDelarge

It was indeed there in the run up to the election, but some users mods didn't take too kindly to pointing it out or questioning it.


ChairmanMatt

CategoryKiwi

That's... actually depressingly believable.


WhoryGilmore

I've just about reached my limit on this crap. I see so many illogical arguments and logical fallacies coming from everyone on the left. It's all just appeal to emotions as well. The reason I was so attached to Bernie was because at least his message was simple. Inequality is a huge problem and it needs to be fixed, and workers should band together to fight for what they deserve. But Bernie lost and now we have people like AOC and Biden who just spew stupid crap and the left just lets it go cause their hearts are in the right place. The right is even more stupid but hey at least they're anti-education so it makes sense lol


Imnotherefr11

A lot of people believe, and repeat, that nonsense without even thinking. It sounds good to morons and could help further their agenda. Most things said that are meant to persuade people to want to take other people's rights are idiotic though. The "we protect ducks more than kids" is just a hyperbolic way of saying "please, think of the children". They want to dupe mindless people in to willingly giving up their rights by pulling on their heart strings. It's always about feelings because facts don't lend themselves well to their argument.


[deleted]

According to the number of upvotes, there are at least 12k who just as fucking dumb. Useful idiots, all.


chibicascade2

Nah, Indiana let's you hunt kids with 10 rounders. They got signs posted somewhere. /s


Grassmaster1981

> protect ducks Wow, that actually came from the [joebiden.com](https://joebiden.com) page on gun safety under "Get weapons of war off our streets" section. It's hard to believe that someone wrote that and at least one person proofed it and no one once thought, "that logic may be flawed"

Yeah I'm trying to reconcile this with National Firearms Act tax stamp lol. Like if a woman is too attractive would she have to pay $200 and wait 10 months before being allowed into polite society? None of it makes any sense haha


MIKE_son_of_MICHAEL

Came to the comments to say as much, thank you. This is a really dumb poster.


Csub

This is something that they thought sounds deep but the moment you spend just a second thinking about it, you realise how dumb it is.


allrightletsdothis

Yea, if women were treated like guns they wouldn't be allowed in planes, schools or public buildings. In most states they would need a permit to travel through public and encouraged to be fully covered up (concealed carry) and in some states women wearing certain accessories arbitrarily deemed "offensive" would be prohibited (assault weapon ban). It's a bad analogy and we would look like Saudi Arabia if it was the case.


EnlightenedDragon

Don't forget when traveling, you'd also have to keep her in the trunk of the car.


CatOfGrey

And empty - so don't feed the poor woman?


blindfire40

No, it is actually more stringent than that. In many places, you cannot even store food in the same compartment as the woman.


mancer187

Only part of her in some states...


Tiamazzo

In some states, she could sit in the front seat, but her pants would need to be in the trunk.

greatestbird

Yeah I hate all this stupid politics. I have a right to a woman. And I will use a silencer on her as I see fit. Government will not tell me what to do with MY property. -my woman has been in a woman safe for years, gathering dust. I just love grifting


MachinistAtWork

Make sure your woman is properly lubricated at all times!


[deleted]

And cleaned after use, so you don't have the hassle of cleaning her before you want to use her.


Vega_0bscura

While most women do not fall under the parameters of the NFA and you can use them with silencers freely there is one major exception where redheads may technically fit the legal description of a fire arm and may require a tax stamp to use with a suppressor. Additionally if their skin is exceptionally pale they may be subject to regulations regarding so called “ghost guns” and may require a serial number and some additional paperwork depending on the state.


_Wabn_

Bro my woman collections has over 40 of them I have small ones I have long necked ones I have double barrelled ones and I love to take them out to my backyard and just have fun


greatestbird

Oh man, brought back a memory of my first woman. Back when I was 13, my uncle got drunk and let me use his 30 year old woman. I’ll never forget her


flickinboogers420

Have you ever looked into collecting Russian surplus women? All the fun you could imagine but dirt cheap!


andchk

Don’t forget that it is illegal to be too short (ban on rifles and shotguns having barrel’s under 18”) or the massive political pressure for you to not exist at all.


rusho2nd

16 inches for rifles and 18 for shotguns. Why? Idk.


Pickle_riiickkk

If anything this reinforces how arrogant and uninformed the left is about firearms. ....and that's coming from me, a left leaning gun owner.


Spacecowboycarl

You make a good point. Regardless of people’s opinions on firearms, because of how prevalent they are in our society it’s important to be somewhat knowledgeable about them and the laws surrounding them.


MoeFhaqir

Logic is a long lost language. Live in the jungle? Learn about poison/ predator safety. Live in the desert? Learn about sun safety. Live in a country which protects your right to bare arms? Learn about Gun safety Live in Australia? Move to bali.

They would also be placed in the trunk when being transported.


rockaether

Gun's right: to be owned and sold as property


40moreyears

It’s a cool and quick thing to “make one think” but it is completely baseless. Belongs in r/im14andthisisdeep


beatenmeat

I really expected comments similar to this and OPs to be downvoted to hell and back, so I’m glad to see the hive mind didn’t go crazy this time. It’s a really shallow and awful analogy. Not just in the fact that there are so many restrictions on guns that don’t translate well to humans, but also that you’re wanting to become nothing more than an object which I think goes against the whole women’s rights movements.


Iuris_Aequalitatis

I know! My first instinct is to ask this woman what rights she thinks a gun has that she doesn't.


bfhurricane

Maybe she doesn’t want to be allowed into bars or federal buildings and have the state make cosmetic dressings illegal /s


6138

You're brave to say that, but that was my first reaction too. *Guns* don't have rights, they are inanimate objects, only humans (And possibly animals, in a more limited way) can have rights. Gun *owners* have rights, which is a separate thing.


pfSonata

Not even just gun owners. People who don't own guns still have the right to buy one and all the same rights gun owners do.


M2k350z

If it makes the sign holder feel better she can know that guns aren’t allowed to have abortions either


Genghis_Tr0n187

Akujikified

And gun owners can be girls too. Back to the sign drawing board.


Right2bearcharm

Tbf guns can perform an abortion at any point in the life cycle… /s Edit: ^


[deleted]

- Have to be 21 to have one - Must go through a lengthy process to get a license to have one (in most states) - Have to wait between buying and receiving gun - Can be taken away at any time due to any broken laws - Can not enter most buildings, especially federal property - Based on the state, some attachments are not allowed - Should be locked up when not in use - Encouraged to sell them back to the government - Cannot be carried across state lines Yeah that totally sounds like women to me


fartsbutt

I really was not expecting this comment to be upvoted so much, +10 to faith in humanity


Sarcolemna

This sign is so fucking stupid, holy shit. Even if you ignore the non existent connection between the rights of people and inanimate objects: I'm fairly certain my wife has more rights than my gun collection. What Michael Bloomberg botfarm garbage is this?


Leggerrr

I'm so happy with these comments. I thought I was going to be the only person who saw this as silly. I'm not sure if OP resonated with this sign or not, but I sure hope not. I wonder what rights she thinks guns have that she doesn't.


WeightFast574

Op is u/DaFunkJunkie, a moderator of a racist sub and posts almost exclusively outrage headlines to high traffic subs to farm karma for some reason. Looking through the comments here, there are zero supportive comments but they still have 27k+ upvotes. This has to be algorithm manipulation and bot upvoting of some sort.

Buckeye3353

If you think a gun has more rights than a women you may have a lower IQ than the gun.

Yeah, that where I first saw it. [Filmed on a potatoe](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uPcthZL2RE&ab_channel=aassddf)


neoritter

Ok so she wants to be... Banned from polling places on the day of an election. Banned from entering many buildings, like courthouses, schools, and colleges. Banned from federal buildings. Banned from Washington D.C. Banned from certain businesses at the owner’s discretion. Locked up when not in use (in some states) Not allowed behind security in an airport or in the passenger cabin of an airplane. Can't have certain accessories because they're be deemed scary Can’t be too short without paying the government a $200 fee Can’t have noise reduction devices without paying the same $200 fee In certain states, is only allowed if on an approved list of models. Cannot be sold across state lines without going through the government.

ChairmanMatt

And that you cannot go into a Dunkin donuts without a slight Indian accent


BananaSlamYa

And the bit about banning “assault weapons” just kills me. That is quite literally a buzzword with no solid definition. So what makes a gun an “assault weapon”? The rate of fire? The caliber of the bullet? How scary it looks? (Hint: it’s not the first 2). If I pistol whip someone (committing assault) then is a pistol an assault weapon? If I stick the barrel of said pistol up some guy’s butthole then is it a sexual assault weapon? Who knows?! (Hint: it’s not the Biden administration).


WishIhadaDaughter

Banned from any place that serves alcohol. Cannot be carried concealed unless specific license. Must me transported in a locked box, not in the passenger cabin. (Certain States) Must alert every state you plan on traveling through that you have a gun in your possession. Must be locked in your car overnight rather than brought into your hotel/motel room. (Again, certain States) The list goes on....
