Ah yes, that’s why they did it. I’m sure that’s exactly why they voted for the, as stated previously, narcissistic etcetera etcetera. Get the fuck out of here.

Yup, just 71 million or so goddam people voted for a narcissistic grifter felony with daddy issues. Fuck.

Or you hire an intelligent, capable, and professional pen tester. They’ll find the same holes that the nutcase will, they’ll document them, and they’ll do it without breaking things.

I apologize

It’s probably a duck?

Good point

I think I speak on behalf of everyone here when I say please fuck off.

Oh please fuck off.

You never know, there could be Hamas tunnels under that cultural fabric.

Make it a three position switch. On, off, and “make the noises with your mouth”

With cheese no less

I mean, that obviously worked, not sure why they don’t sharpie out all hurricanes going forward. /S

Won’t someone think of the poor multinational corporations that might lose half of a percent of their annual earnings. Hell, they might not make their yearly 5 percent growth targets!

I vote Democrat because there’s nobody viable who’s farther left. I’ll admit it’s frustrating as a gun owner because so many Democrats are tremendously ignorant on the issue, but I agree with them a hell of a lot more than Republicans.

I just want non insane or just plain ignorant gun laws and a decent social safety net, is that too much to ask?

You’re right, I’ve not presented any potential solutions. All I’ve said is fund public health initiatives, address the systemic issues that are leading to violence, and enact sane limits on firearms sales.

But please, go ahead and continue misrepresenting my argument if it makes you feel better.

I’m saying that it’s logistically impossible to solve via legislation (on guns) alone. We need to address the systemic problems that we face as a country, and until we do that the violence will continue. I’m all for gun control measures that will make that violence less destructive, but a flat ban will not fix it.

Eh, sbrs and sbs’ are only a thing because the original MFA was going to ban pistols too and wanted to close a loophole. They’re not any more or less dangerous than any other firearm.

That said, I’d be down for disarming cops in this fantasy scenario. We’ve militarized our police force to an absurd degree.

Pretending that the sheer number of “assault weapons” (which is a painfully imprecise word as it is) in the US to any other country is either disingenuous or just foolish. From a cursory search there are about 20 million AR pattern rifles in the US. Let’s say we banned the sale and did a stupendously effective buyback that got say 65 percent of them. I don’t think it would be that high, but it is what it is. Let’s say we give people 500 each for them (no way I’d sell mine for that, but anyway). We’ve just spent 6.5 billion just on one style or semi automatic rifle and there are still 7 million of the goddam things. Compare that to Australia, which confiscated about 650,000 guns total.

If I could snap my fingers and suddenly get rid of all semi automatic firearms in the US I would. Sadly, that’s not the case and there’s no way politically or logistically it’s going to happen.

Are there steps we can take to make things safer? Yes, and we should take them. Red flag laws, more in depth background checks, etc are all good steps that responsible gun owners like myself support.

At the same time, we need to address the systemic issues that are driving people to suicide or mass violence. People with adequate mental health support and a future that doesn’t get bleaker by the day are much less likely to commit violence of any kind.

I know that “just ban them” seems like a good option from the outside, but this is not an issue we can address via legislation alone.

Ooh boy, a whole 300 liters, or approximately a single 80 gallon drum. What an impressive act of charity from the country actively bombing that same hospital.
