In case anyone gets confused, this is a total nonsense graphic that doesn't even come a little bit close to representing what the solar system moving through space is like. http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2013/03/04/vortex_motion_viral_video_showing_sun_s_motion_through_galaxy_is_wrong.html June 15th, 1215, Magna Carta was signed, and even now 800 years later it is inspiring sovereign citizens to get themselves tazed. What an important document.

JFC. Sorry for continuing gunchat but it's pretty drat gross when white American gun nuts have to use examples so divorced from their own lives to justify their militarised wankery. You are not living in a lawless dystopia, a Commie invasion, a race war or a zombie apocalypse. If a black person scares you you can literally call the police and have them shoot them dead with no questions asked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6IDNqHuHmE Guns are for pusillanimous cowards.

Like a stereotypical American car company, Colt has a long history of being run incompetently and making bad decisions. They managed to have a 5 year long strike brought against them by their union workers in the 80s, which caused quality to drop and as a result, Belgium now makes our rifles and Colt filed for bankruptcy in 1992. And when they ended production of the Python and Anaconda, they fired most of the artisan gunsmiths who made them and destroyed the machinery, jigs, tooling, etc. And the whole splitting of the company into two different "civilian" and "defense" entities reads like some kind of arcane scheme to rip-off investors. http://www.bloomberg.com/bw/articles/2014-05-29/colts-curse-gunmakers-owners-have-led-it-to-crisis-after-crisis#p1 Meanwhile, H&K is currently in trouble with the German government for making rifles that don't shoot straight if they get warmed up in the desert, and for trying to get the German military's intelligence agency to rat on the whistle-blowers and spy on the journalists reporting on the scandal. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/05/11/german-defense-minister-claims-government-official-tried-to-cover-up-g36s-problems/ quote:It said the idea was for MAD to find the sources of leaks about the G36 while at the same time spying on the journalists behind the critical reports. It described articles published not just by “Spiegel Online, but also by the “taz” newspaper and the weekly “Die Zeit,” beginning in 2012 as an “untrue media campaign.”

These posts are always hilarious since it works off the basis that if something that isnt a gun killed somebody then its all fine and dandy. Tell me, I hope you are aware that many potentially dangerous items apart from guns from cars to deadly chemicals face restrictions to prevent improper use, why is it that when these conversations happen we find out guns are special, freedoms are being restricted, the police state is coming etc? The least bit of legislation to control them sends the usual bunch of people insane. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9pOiOhxujsE What precisely are acceptable gun laws? Here in ireland for example (where its such a non issue that this whole thing comes across as bizarre to me) we have restrictive laws but somebody can still get shotgun or rifle for hunting or what have you so long as they pass required checks, http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/cp/ireland

Ownership of firearms was written into the highest law of our land from basically the founding of our government, so yeah they've always been considered "special" here. Every country has weird laws that are hard to understand in different contexts, though.

khwarezm posted:These posts are always hilarious since it works off the basis that if something that isnt a gun killed somebody then its all fine and dandy. Lovely projection, there - if you read my posts you see that I'm the one calling for more comprehensive solutions that would decrease violence and suffering regardless of the means used to perpetrate it. For example, the Thompson submachine gun (pictured here) was not responsible for this: Going back in time and waving a magic wand to make all Thompsons vanish from Chicago would not have stopped those men from being killed. They were murdered because the social and economic drives of the illegal liquor market motivated the organized crime members to kill, and in the absence of guns those motivations and the murder would have remained. Do you see any parallels between the Prohibition Era policies and the modern age with our War on Drugs and the violent actions intertwined in both?
