Honestly I figured his shit would tank, most of the magats are on trumps platform now, and we know magats weren’t buying tesla cars…so who’s buying and using his shit…the same people who hate him. Like wtf, they literally have the power to remove a ton of his wealth, but nope.

Yea I have no clue why people still use the damn platform. Especially those who hate musk and what bullshit that comes from his mouth…like gtfo the platform, all you’re doing is keeping his revenue going.

Yes because my guns in a safe attack people all the time. No this isn’t comparable at all. This is stupid people owning dangerous animals, that have a mind of their own.

Or…you could check before you go…and write a list, like people have been doing since well civilization started up.

Lost internship.

Apologized to Hickam, said no biggie, he was a Vietnam vet, and is 75 has no real idea on the whole Internet thing. And was just trying to tell her to watch out, cause nasa looks at social media.

Writes blog post detailing that he thought it was no biggie.

NASA calls, askes if she wrote the tweets, she lies, says no. Then loses internship.

Hickam tried to get her the internship back but no dice.

Speculation that 4chan or kiwifarms mass reported it to NASA and this helped get her fired. (She is a furry and trans). If you don’t know about KW farms…just know it’s literally a bunch of nazi fucks…

That’s the TL;DR or TL;DL

It’s absolutely fun with friends, we put in around that many hours and then haven’t played it much since, but for the $10 we paid. It was well worth it.

They already made this movie… it was called starship troopers and they did it properly.

This guy is an textbook example of a dumb strawman, especially the gun trotting yankistani dumbass kind.

It’s not, you type don’t care about people dying, you just don’t like it when guns are used.

Alcohol doesn’t kill someone else out of nowhere. Long term alcoholism or drunk driving does, for which you have to be on the road or nearby it, which everyone and their grandmother already know are inherently dangerous are people inherently become alert and cautious around roads.

It…kinda does. Did…did you not read my comment that 12-13k people a year are killed by drunk drivers? Shit that’s even more random than gun violence? Alcohol has 0 net uses in society…so why aren’t you mouthy about alcohol? Is it because you don’t give a shit about deaths just how they die? Gonna answer for you and say yep.

Can you fucking take out alcohol in a busy mall, spray everyone, and kill them?

Random Mass shootings equate to less than 200 people a year death wise on average. Most mass shootings are targeted and not random. In which alcohol is still king of killing people at random on the road.

Holy fucking shit, are you even aware of the mental gymnastic it takes to equate guns to alcohol?

Considering how far you had to jump around not to get the references… I understand the topic pretty damn well. You on the other hand are another “guns scare me, please ban them all, and I’ll magically feel safe”

Why not say let’s ban water because everyone who drinks it dies?

Yes because I forgot how everyone needs alcohol to survive. Gotta get my 8 shots a day to feel healthy.

it seems the only argument the pro-gun side seems to be able to muster is “it wouldn’t 100% work, so there’s no point even trying”

That’s not what I said at all, what I said was focusing on our citizens well-being will have a much greater impact on gun violence than trying to ban guns.

do you agree with charlie kirk, it’s worth having a few (tens of thousand) deaths a year to be able “protect your god given rights”? (makes perfect sense, if you don’t think about it)

12-13k people die a year from drunk driving deaths per year, nearly as many as all gun homicides combined (sans suicides which make up 2/3rds of gun deaths). So by your logic, we should ban alcohol and that’s the best approach.

Also trying to use that piece of racist shit as a “gotcha” on gun rights is pretty weak, you gonna also toss out that hitler liked bread so I must agree with him too right?

the onion title is not “funny” imo, it’s upsetting and true, which is kind of a black comedy when you see people genuinely argue for it

I argue for it, because people like you suggest that the dems use political capital to try and push more gun control when it has very little support, instead of trying to actually solve our societies problems that would have much greater effect on gun violence.

nobody is talking about prohibition, “just” regulation, but also guns are nothing like alcohol or heavy drugs even

Nearly 4Xs the number of people die via alcohol consumption (178k on average) per year than all gun deaths combined. That’s not even adding in drugs. So you don’t really care about deaths. Just how they die.

And yes, you aren’t suggesting regulation, you’re suggesting a ban, because that’s what a buy back effectively is.

It’s for medicine doses as well. I’m not going to be given the same amount of meds as my wife since she’s 115lbs and I’m 215. If they have your weight then they can properly prescribe meds.

Very interesting honestly, I’ve never been put on any medications and always have been weighed when getting a normal checkup.

you could do it quicker, like australia did, with a gun buy back scheme

Australia had a 60% turn in rate on around 1 million firearms, of which they now have more guns in civ hands than before the buy back. Yet still have a lower rate of gun deaths than we do. Why because they actually have safety nets and give a fuck about their citizens. If we had a 60% turn in rate, there would still be 100+ million firearms in civ hands. 100xs more than what Australia had.

regarding suicides, guns are way too easy. with most other methods, one needs to invest a more mental and physical effort, in which time they might change their minds, or others might intervene

Jumping off a building or hanging or any other form of suicide are the other 50% of suicide. So yes firearms are effective and heavily used but you still have 50% using other methods.

also insert the onion article title

While that’s always a funny bit, it literally doesn’t get the other reasons why it won’t work. Prohibition doesn’t work, but it’s gonna magically work on firearms?

Banning guns isn’t going to bring the numbers down much if any. Way to many guns out there, it would take 100+ years for the guns to dry up and even then you’d still have them. You’re other points are correct, if we want to curb this violence then we need to focus on why this happens (in this case gang violence). So drugs/poverty/education/safety nets all need to be introduced.

And just another point about gun deaths. 2/3rds are suicides, which is a “why” not a “what tool” was used.

No, are you sure you’re going to a doctor? They weigh you for medication purposes. If you end up needing some medication, they need to know what you weigh to get the dosage correct.

Nothing to add other than…

Hot damn that looks tasty!

I wish…biden not actually going after the maga movement and trump for the coup attempt is how we got here. If the dems take majority and don’t need repubs, if they don’t go after trump and just keep acting spineless then nothing will ever happen.

This has nothing to do with guns. Racist yes, traitors yes. The means in which the violence was done has nothing to do with this.

Stop trying to disarm us when there are literal fascist running the gov.

$100 he didn’t write this. More than likely it’s from millers mouth. If dems do sweep everything, they need to be impeaching and locking these traitors up and throwing away the key. Anything less and this cult will continue to infect the the world. They also need to go full steam ahead on getting Ukraine armed to the teeth and ending the war and russia. It’s a failed state that needs to be broken apart, way to much division comes from them.

Says the guy who’s entire argument is from anti-2a propaganda…

Data from a US mortality follow-back survey were analyzed to determine whether having a firearm in the home increases the risk of a violent death in the home and whether risk varies by storage practice, type of gun, or number of guns in the home.
