Summary

A federal judge in Illinois ruled the state’s ban on semiautomatic weapons unconstitutional, citing recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions that reinforce Second Amendment rights.

Judge Stephen McGlynn issued a permanent injunction against the Protect Illinois Communities Act, which bans AR-15-style rifles and high-capacity magazines, but delayed its enforcement for 30 days to allow for appeal.

The law, enacted after a 2022 mass shooting in Highland Park, faced opposition from gun rights advocates and some local sheriffs.

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul promptly appealed the ruling, with Gov. J.B. Pritzker expressing confidence the ban will ultimately be upheld.

Why don't you provide everyone from as early as the age of 5 with a rocket launcher to protect themselves with. Then everyone will be safe.

Not all of us are lucky enough to be born with silver tactical nukes in our mouths.

But it would solve a lot of issues. Like, people are ONLY allowed a rpg. When you're in a fight, you will have to get range to fire otherwise you will die in the blast too. This will give you time to think "ah, is it really worth it? Maybe I'm overreacting."

An rpg is heavy. Obese people will loose weight carrying one.

People with a micropenis won't buy massive trucks anymore because they will be too easy to hit.

You only have 1 round. So using it should be a wise decision. It will help people think before they act.

People will be more polite, because you're talking to someone with a fucking rpg.

I can go on an on with why this is a good idea, honestly.

I would only take the official title of "The Royal Right Honourable Supreme Emperor, World Dictator, God of Gods and Mankind, Ruler of the Universe and Beyond", nothing less. And yes, only of gods and mankind, obviously cats will have a place higher then me.

If I supply a postal box address, can someone ship me my RPG?

No need, you can get a copy of Baldur's Gate 3 on Steam, it's one of the best RPG's out there.
