HN is a strong 2A supporting community, so this comment is not going to go over well.
- busterarm 6y agoI'm a proud 2A supporter, but I think this has more roots in HN being a strong "fuck the poor" community and the tenebility of that position usually involves some amount of gun ownership.
- dang 6y agoThis sort of generalization is entirely in the eye of the beholder. HN is divided on divisive topics the same way that any large-enough population sample would be. Also, HN's community is only about 50% in the U.S. Your comment is already false about that half, but it would certainly be even more false about the international half, since people in other countries have totally different perspectives on guns.
- purephase 6y agoI'm strongly against 2A, just want to be clear. It's just a topic that brings out all of the 2A folks in droves whenever it comes up here. I think the rest of the community generally shies away from the conversation for that reason. I should made that clearer in my comment. Apologies.
