The officers were part of a US Marshals Service-led task force. The warrant they were attempting to serve on Monday was against a felon wanted for illegally possessing a firearm.
So you mean the exact thing the cops were trying to do? Did you even bother to open the article before posting your hot-take?
So… Marshall’s could be trying to get guns out of felons hands AND guns should be regulated like cars. Also if you want civil talks don’t go around with " did ya even bother…", you sound like you’re more ready for a fight than a convo in my experience… (source: I too am like this at times)
I’m spicy certainly, but that’s because the comment was inherently unhelpful. Like shouting “genocide” in any Israel-Hamas thread, or “fuck Trump” it is a dead end of conversation where nobody learns anything, nobody has their beliefs challenged or critiqued, and no discussion occurs.
The in group feels better about themselves, the bad thing is chided, and the issue remains untouched. Build a polemic and defend it, share some white papers or research, even a dumb meme. But pithy comments are almost always masturbatory - and I’m guilty too from time to time.
A hot take is a “piece of deliberately provocative commentary that is based almost entirely on shallow moralizing” in response to a news story, “usually written on tight deadlines with little research or reporting, and even less thought”.
It’s important to understand words before using them.
Aside from waving your hand at the issue of gun deaths and violence, you offered nothing to the discussion without bothering to understand the scenario. You could have talked about why was this a police raid instead of a traffic stop, or what failure led to him being on the street after recent convictions, or the issues that drive gun violence and the toxic masculinity around them.
…yes? If you’d like to expand upon your point, I’ll gladly retract that assessment. But if you’re going to persist in low effort sealioning instead of getting somewhere and making a point or statement, I’ll take my time elsewhere
This is dumb as fuck, literally nothing about that mentions anything about firearm licensing. Did you understand the words you quoted before getting high and mighty?
It’s illegal for felons to possess firearms regardless of whether or not legal owners require licensing, and nothing in here says that they didn’t just get a tip that some criminal was stockpiling weapons.
The dude already broke several firearms laws, in addition to other violent crimes. This is the system working deal with violations - so what was the point of the original comment mentioning licensing?
Licensing reduces the number of guns in circulation and ensures that their owners are more responsible than the average unlicensed owner, making their guns less likely to end up on the black market.

Yeah let’s attack the guy at home where he can bunker down when we know he has guns.
Cops are so fucking stupid…could just wait for him to leave the house and arrest him, but no, go play cowboy and get ur dumb ass cop buddies shot.
Congrats.

Actually insightful.
Talk about hot takes, that is a direct quote from the article.

Was it you who called it a “hot take” in the first place ?

I’m not wasting my time or energy debating a bot or whatever you are over a proven undeniable fact
