News
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 biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
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. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
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, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. 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 or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
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.

You show your tax stamp to range safety dudes? Lmfao
If an old Boomer RSO approached me asking to see my tax stamp when I'm shooting my suppressed gun, I would tell them to fuck off because they aren't an authority to enforce the law; they're not the ATF, they're not the FBI, otherwise I could ask to see their social security card. Because they are simply gun safety babysitters, and regular fucking dudes with no real authority other than being allowed by the business owner to ask you to leave.
Me having a tax stamp is literally none of their fucking business.
No, but they can remove you from the range...
If they ask? Yes. Because I didn’t go to the range for a dick measuring contest with someone who can eject me for whatever reason they desire. Never gotten heat over a brace or P&W job, but I’m also not trying to catch a trespass charge over ‘muh rights’ argument with a rangemaster.
They do have a valid interest in not being involved in a federal firearms crime on their property. I’ll respect that, and their dumb rapid fire/holstering/etc blanket rules. Sounds like you’re the kind of person those blanket rules were made for.
I have a large enough property that I haven't shot at a privately owned range in decades, so having a rando come and ask me for my personal tax documents is kinda weird.
