I don't hear your comprehensive solution for child drownings or car accidents, which kill orders of magnitude more children every year. So you tell me what rational basis you have for making this an "issue" that needs an immediate reactive solution.

How much brass exists in the US right now that is completely without unique identification? how long would it take to implement this technology? Show me an example of this technology, where billions of unique items are tracked in a database...

also, you haven't addressed if this is something you're going to apply to all manufacturers of dangerous weapons or chemicals.

How does this stop Andrew Kehoe?

Again. You are whatabouting.

Let's concentrate on one problem at a time.

The simple solution for gun violence in America isnt stopping selling guns. There are more guns in America than the entire world combined already. That horse has bolted.

Its to make the projectiles so heavily taxed and expensive that gun ownership becomes a joke hobby.

Have guns at home for protection. You seem to need that. Load them up. But it will cost you.

Once we've addressed this we can look to making human beings breathing under water. Making cars out of candy floss etc. Or whatever else you think is the same as someone mowing down under 11s with automatic military grade weapons.

Oh lightening. Sorry I forgot. I will have a word with God.

Nothing will happen but thoughts and prayers.

You're infants are treat as chattle to whatever monster gets hold of an automatic rifle.

Cool.

The world looks at you with disgust if I'm honest.

We had one. Just one school attack in this fashion. It was the second worst thing I ever worked on. And I've seen some horrible shit. And what did we do? Within 3 days we changed the entire law.

It didnt affect one person.

nobody had an automatic rifle.

but to be clear, by taxed and expensive, you mean "make a black market for the foreseeable future".

we can't regulate black market cigarettes, and you think we'll be able to wave pen over paper and be able to make ammunition so expensive as to be unavailable.

Why don't we do that with drugs? or sex trade? or any other thing that we deem socially undesirable?

you don't have a solution, you have a fantasy.

Yes we can.

If people wanted it. We did. And it worked.

You need a different way. I have provided it. You are talking about drowning, car accidents and lightening....

The solution is there. You just don't like it.

Would take a decade or so to ween you off like babies with dummies. But it's there.

You just don't want it. Simple as.

You couldn't offer me a solution if you tried because in your heart you don't see it as a problem. Doesn't affect you. Why should you care?

Typical merikans response.

American society is fucking broken. I'm being a broken record but:
  • They didn't give black people equal rights until the 1960s.
  • They have the lowest life expectancy in the Western world.
  • They have the highest rate of absolute poverty in the Western world.
  • They are the only developed nation without national healthcare.
  • They're allowing states to outlaw abortion.
  • They have extreme rates of fundamentalist religion.
  • Military spending equal to the next ten countries combined.
  • Highest number of prisoners, both per capita and absolute.
  • Highest rate of murder among developed nations BY FAR.

Their Constitution is an incredible document, it's a shame they don't live by it.

Why do you gun guys always instantly default to comparing yourselves to Mexico and El Salvador?

Why not Denmark or Canada?

??
well, one is actively fighting a drug war with us...a drug war which is the source of most of our violent crime statistics.

and I point to Mexico as an example of "only the cops have guns" as a panacea for the societal woes of America.

you haven't shown me how this would work. You just claim that once the ammo is expensive, the violence will stop.

I say bullshit.

I say that violence will find an outlet. Ask Andrew Kehoe.

No



Since nobody said anything about Mexico other than you, this seems like a straw man.
I see how you can take it that way, but I'm pointing out that in and of itself, striating gun ownership along economic lines doesn't make the violence go away.

Wrong. Your drug problem now is fentanyl.

That is coming from China. China is trying to destabilise you with this. Fact.

Maybe Chinese fentanyl is coming. From Mexico. But it's Chinese made.

There's no fixing this.
Their Constitution is an incredible document, it's a shame they don't live by it.
Part of the issue is the whole big bunch of people who think they're living by it, specifically the 2nd Amendment.

I don't agree with it, but it can't be ignored.

...

  • They didn't give black people equal rights until the 1960s.
    • When did Britain give Indians equal rights? What's their human rights track record, if we're casting stones.
  • They have the lowest life expectancy in the Western world.
    • Not true. Lithuania, Greenland, Romania, Moldova, all of South America, etc
  • They have the highest rate of absolute poverty in the Western world.
    • Not true. Italy has higher poverty rates than the US, for one.
  • They are the only developed nation without national healthcare.
    • Nope, not even close. Mexico is not a developed nation? LoL.
  • They're allowing states to outlaw abortion.
    • They're also allowing states to protect abortion. We're trying to live by our Constitution.
  • They have extreme rates of fundamentalist religion.
    • By what standard? compared to...?
  • Military spending equal to the next ten countries combined.
    • actually, the next 16
  • Highest number of prisoners, both per capita and absolute.
    • Yep. And yet some say the solution is to imprison 100s of thousands more over their hobby. Seems counter-intuitive.
  • Highest rate of murder among developed nations BY FAR.
    • Nope, not even close. Russia, Mexico, Colombia...lots of developed nations with higher intentional homicide rates.

I don't agree that it's a limitless right, and the first clause is outdated.
Look. End of the day. I'm about to go upstairs. Brush my teeth. Piss at the same time. I'm going to crawl into bed. My wife will cuddle into me. I'm goimg to reach around and find her clit.

And well.... I'll be thinking of you.

LoL Wut?

we stopped fighting a drug war with Mexico and all of Central/South America?
when did that happen?

China is going to de-stabilize the US by ODing the < 1% of people who are addicts?
Start a thread, walk us through this diabolical plan.
