Bit strange they can still follow all the legal requirements for owning a gun doing it this way but as an anarchocommunist I feel this is good praxis.
How about getting them a place to live instead?
With the guns we give them the means to "borrow" property from the rich :V
A gun is much cheaper than a place to live, you can't even pay monthly rent in some places with the $400-$500 it takes to buy a shotgun
Good I guess? The number of homeless people being attacked sounds out of control.
Someone watched too many movies I see.

I fail to see how this will really improve things, it sounds like a very narrow minded approach the problem that will just end in more people getting hurt. I would say the money would be better spent on providing more shelter for the homeless during night / most vulnerable times of the day.
Well no, not really. How about we have the police handle the assault instead of handing out shotguns to everybody.
Where i live a good part of the homeless people you see have either severe drug addictions or mental illnesses. They do have to pass a background check to get the guns, which is good, but they would have to be very strict and i see lots case fall through the cracks.
Also, wouldnt there be a risk of these guns being traded for money under the table?
Are you people actually taking the words of a Libertarian seriously? You know that Libertarians are the clowns of US politics, right?
I'd be more inclined to agree if Donald Trump wasn't the current standing US president, who happened to be a registered democrat for decades, then ran as a Conservative for his presidential bid. Last I checked, both of the major parties have blinders on and are oblivious to everything going on around them.
this sounds like a bad idea
Part of me wants to see this happen, because I can already imagine what would happen if a bunch of hobos armed with guns started squatting in rich folk areas.
At first glance I thought it was one of those "Change my mind" memes. No way that is a real thing on a billboard
Already in Polidicks
