Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
We're going for a record, guys. I can't help but feel like there is something that can be done about this, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Like there is an obvious solution somewhere, but where oh where could it be? Does anyone know?
Simple. Just arm the pumpkins! 🎃
A good gourd with a gun
Armed with alliteration, nice
Maybe we really should start putting razors in Halloween candy. For the children's protection.
Guns in candy to arm the kids, got it
If everyone had razors, we could end razor attacks overnight
It's really a mistery to all countries on earth without recurring mass shootings

In before the...
It's a mental health issue! Don't blame the guns! (But fund ur own Healthcare u commie)
crowd shows up.
No, the new one is "'No way to stop this happening", says only country where this happens regularly"
Sadly, that's an extremely old Onion headline -- almost a decade old at this point.
And repeated every week
No the newer one is 'how many rapes have to occur before you cut off your own dick?'
Seriously, this is a post I just saw.
As a Chicagoan, this sadly isn’t “news”, because it isn’t new/novel/different/anything other than ordinary dumbass behavior by the local yeetbois
