I said he would have likely been fine with weaker firepower...which the original post implied he wouldn't have been safe had not had that specific weapon. I don't want to sound like I'm defending robbers, but most criminals aren't looking for an excuse to murder. That's not to say I want guns banned, but murder isn't just the next logical step for all criminals. The world is slightly more gray than good law abiding citizens and bloodthirsty animal criminals. --- |

| hockeybub89 04/10/17 4:02:41 PM #40 | Guardian-Sloth posted... Remind me, why is it considered a double-homicide if a pregnant woman is murdered? Because a third party doesn't have the authority to make a choice for a woman about her fetus' future. I don't believe it is always even considered double homicide if happens during the window when abortion is legal. Depends on the local law. --- |

CruelBuffalo posted...You don't need an ak47 and 30 rounds per magazine to defend yourself Statistically, you don't need a gun at all. It is a much better argument to just mention that guns are a right and that inanimate objects are typically only as deadly as the person wielding them. I think people should be able to have guns because they want them, not because there is a slim chance they may be in a situation where they will fire them at another human being. --- |

You said mass shootings aren't a problem because there are less of them than other bad things. Murder is not a problem compared to suicide. Once again, I said nothing about gun bans. --- |

Or will you just keep letting this happen again and again and again and again? More people die from car crashes than gang shootings. Does that mean gang shootings aren't a problem?

Cracking down on gangs won't stop future Newtowns, Charlestons or Auroras. It won't help our mental health crisis. It won't prevent homegrown terrorism, Islamic or otherwise. I didn't mention a gun ban. I said gang shootings mean fuck all to non gang shootings. --- |

| hockeybub89 04/10/17 2:32:02 PM #47 | Well clearly armed conflict is alright if it makes victims feel better. Who cares that we have gotten no closer to fixing the Middle East or defeating terrorism, but have created even more victims over the years with our sweet democratic explosions. Fruitless violence is worth the temporary feels. I don't give a fuck about CNN or Hillary, but a victim liking vengeance hardly proves anything. --- |

| hockeybub89 04/10/17 2:02:50 PM #12 | Going to a restaurant or a movie isn't quite the same gamble as losing $400 at the roulette wheel. Maybe if you are filthy rich, but not for average Joe. I think more people are worried about losing money than calling potential fun a waste of money, with respect to casinos. --- |

So would you be in favor of gay bathrooms if homosexual perverts outnumbered hetero ones? Hell, maybe we should do that just to protect everyone from those straight weirdos. By that logic, why should we worry about trans people when cis ones are the much more prevalent perv crowd? Numbers seem to be a weird argument to make when you are worrying about straight, cisgendered men pretending to be trans women to go into the women's bathroom and get caught being perverts. We can't live life worrying about what group has the most perverts. --- |

| hockeybub89 04/07/17 8:07:41 PM #61 | Logos posted... hockeybub89 posted...You live in a fantasy world. People are poor. People are stupid. People make bad life choices. Standing over them and declaring that they should have lived differently doesn't help anything. You still have to do something with these people. And no, I don't think the solution is banning economic growth or whatever nonsense super commie thing you think I want. We can build nice upscale areas AND help the poor. So what exactly is your suggestion? We need to completely abandon these areas so fear and desperation will either force them to figure shit out or crumble? With what money and resources will this occur? Do you not see the glaring problem with telling poor, uneducated people to figure it out on their own? We need to give them something even if we want them to self sustain. They need tools. Here I thought we lived in a country. Not a collection of sovereign neighborhoods. --- |

After all, "simulated gunfire" isn't too incredibly different in intent than "TVMA DLSV" They are both stupid bullshit, but I'd love if everything was just unrated with an optional warning beforehand. Drop a warning and then show all the delicious uncensored content you can. At least the trigger warnings crowd just wants to protect themselves. This person doesn't want to eliminate simulated gunfire from entertainment. They just want to know so they can leave or know it's coming. --- |
