People who do shit like this just like to break stuff. This guy in particular broke a window and threw some paint and now he thinks he’s special forces I guess.
No thanks, I quit playing DMZ when they started talking about adding p2w shit so that you’d have an edge right at the match start. Any game that does stuff like that is a non-starter. At least ubisoft was dumb enough to tell us up front.
Tobacco companies had to own up to the fact that smoking is harmful in the 1960s when undeniable evidence came out. People struggled to quit because it is somewhat addictive, but mainly because they enjoyed it....
The way people online constantly say ‘talk to your doctor’ like it’s a panacea is a lot like how medieval peasants weren’t able to read scripture and they just had to trust their clergy’s interpretations...
I’d love to see something like the response in Australia happen in the U.S., but it’s clear that there are enough people in the U.S. who are okay with kids being shot to death in schools, and adults being shot to death in theaters and grocery stores, that it isn’t going to happen. So we have to use alternative tactics to make meaningful progress.
Took 15 seconds to find an example. This was just one, I have read about similar situations in my state alone over the last couple years.
I’m not arguing that people shouldn’t store weapons safely. But your premise is false. That’s why I’m against this ‘punishing the owner’ line of thought when they are the victim of the crime.
The terrible state of the U.S. justice system is a whole other argument.
And since that’s not going to happen, nothing else happens to make things better than the status quo. You’re letting lack of a realistic, unilateral, perfect solution get in the way of making things better incrementally. Which is itself illogical.
I know it’s a minority. But it’s enough (which is what I said), because they have been effective at stalling real progress on the issue. Not sure I understand how this relates to the civil war, unless you are just saying gun control is “the right thing to do” regardless of the will of the ammosexuals. Which I agree with.
Well you keep using scenarios that aren’t congruent with reality. Lamenting “If only it was like this…” doesn’t accomplish anything. Yeah, things are not the way they should be. Let’s work to move it in that direction instead of waiting for some pie-in-the-sky magic pixie dust that will make all the guns instantly disappear.
If we as a country were really going to ban guns, it would have been done when the Democrats completely controlled the government under Obama. The truth is Democrats have no taste for that either, so they weakly push bills that ban ‘dangerous looking’ guns to pander to their base without effecting real change. Realists like myself would like to see incremental progress instead of pushing for and waiting for the thing to happen that’s never going to happen.
