Um homem montado em um cavalo marrom está no centro da imagem. O cavalo está em pé sobre solo escuro e parece estar em um ambiente queimado, com chamas laranja brilhantes visíveis ao fundo. O homem está usando uma camisa laranja, calças pretas e um chapéu. Ele está levantando a mão direita em saudação. Há um "V" verde no canto superior esquerdo e texto branco na parte inferior da imagem que diz: "O FOGO É NOSSO".

The problem with access restriction is that you will never get to 0 access, and access is always gate-kept by 'background checks' and MONEY, and many of the people who have carried out mass shootings went through background checks and had the money to get the guns to do the crimes.
This is my point about Australia's laws. They have some of the most stringent gun laws, and yes 35 to 5000, I get it, but shootings are on the rise there because there is still access.
Humans will always find access to dangerous tools.
What NEEDS to be changed most, is the culture of abuse that drives the root causes of violence in the first place. That's the only real, long-term solution. Anything less is a bandaid at best, if not an outright time-wasting red herring in the service of more authoritarian abuse.
‼️ Zelensky: Putin publicly lied, claiming that Russian forces had already taken Kupiansk. So I went to Kupiansk to show the world that Putin is lying.
Let’s look at Russia’s history since 1991. From then until today, Russia has changed: it has been poor and rich, and it has gone from oligarchy to dictatorship.
But one thing has remained the same — it keeps bringing war and hatred. From Chechnya to the Balkans, from Moldova to Syria, from countries in Central Africa to Ukraine.

in reply to Manuela Malasaña • • •the hope is that the driver, on seeing this note, will see i am done being fucked with and will simply have to make up extra time by fucking over the next person on their route instead
see this is how u work inside the system rather than just being helpless to it
