I'd argue that this *is* part of the problem, or rather further evidence why the reflexive turn to "if only we had more cops there!" is a wildly insufficient solution.

I see you edited out your transphobic part, you pussy. At least have the nerve to stand behind your bigoted postings.


I made a mistake. I'm not going to try and explain it. Just wanted to get rid of it.

Ha! A mistake! What a fucking piece of work you are. The mistake was that you let the veil fall for a second and revealed what sort of fucking worthless, ingrown asshair of a person you really are. Not that we needed that much more proof, but it's nice to get it confirmed for us all what we've expected all along.

Great point. 3D printing technology has made gun building far more accessible to the average person. Even without it, unless lathes and mills are banned, guns will always exist, even if it was somehow possible to confiscate all the ones already in circulation.

no one wants to do this, why do you guys always say this?

It has always been the endgame.



Whoa, warehouse is Diane Feinstein? I had no idea

i've been outed! one day i'll tell you all about my affair with Dave Matthews

Let's not forget that you're fucking stupid, too, and fell for a hoax that a bunch of edgy 12-year-olds made up.

Which post argued that? Or are you conflating SROs and those cops?

I'd like to push the idea of a mandatory waiting period and counseling prior to a sale being finalized.

You know, like abortion.

Or maybe we move all the gun shops really far away from people and only have them open at inconvenient times of day.

You know, like voting.

Or maybe higher insurance/liability for sellers and those wanting to have them in their home.

You know, like cars.

To be fair to Verb a "sitting US congressman" (protected category) also fell for and then propagated that hoax.

:haha: what world do you live on that citizens of the US are going to be able to defeat the US Armed Forces? this is just nonsense.

You accuse me of arguing in bad faith, but then immediately go to mockery. Cool. You could read up on the American Revolutionary War and the War in Afghanistan for examples of how ordinary people have frustrated the most powerful militaries in the world with less sophisticated weaponry.

warehouse wrote:
wouldn't a hunting rifle or hand gun be just as, if not more effective, for self defense?

Hunting rifle, assuming you're thinking bolt-action rifle, not as maneuverable and slower. Handgun not as powerful.

warehouse wrote:
why on earth would anyone consider recreational shooting more important than the protection of humans? this isn't even part of the bullshit, outdated constitutional argument. its just weirdos playing with guns.

False dichotomy.

I’m so fucking tired of the “it will always happen so why try anything to stop it” argument.

I think verb was operating along the male-brain-isn’t-fully-developed-by-age-18-and-this-shooter-had-mental-issues track more than anything else, but whatevs.
