spacetoaster posted:How would he not be allowed to buy one? This is something we go around and around again every time someone "crazy" goes off and shoots someone. By blanket-banning sales of handguns to everyone, and only allowing people through that restriction after they have formally applied for a permit showing good reason for their intent to purchase and having been thoroughly screened including interviews with peers. Same goes for semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines: They're legal, but tightly controlled so that only gun nerd hobbyists own them, and you can't buy large-capacity magazines. Sort of like how Canada does it, which works rather well. Some handguns get stolen and end up in criminal hands, most come up from America, and very rarely a legal owner will snap and murder someone with it. The system up here isn't perfect and has some silly arbitrary rules that could be gone over, but we also don't have anywhere near the epidemic of easily-enabled lethal violence that America does. Lazy pseudo-philosophical navel-gazing is a useless exercise performed by imbeciles and people who are intentionally obfuscating to advance their agenda. Gun control works, even in nations with relatively high rates of firearm ownership. The remaining question with regard to gun control is not "if", it's "how?" Also due to import restrictions Americans can't buy Norinco, but up here you can get reliable forged-steel Browning Hi-Powers, 1911s, and other rifles/pistols for like $300 via the magical power of a foreign company that gives no fucks about IP law.

All they do is bitch about building a wall and securing the boarder, and when it's finally done they bitch about a wall being built and the boarders being secure. The most ungrateful motherfuckers.

They found an abandoned truck with dozens of corpses in it in Austria, most likely refugees.

I live next to a national forest and have worked for the USFS, they're an important part of my community, and my friend's husband died in these fires last Thursday just to protect some homes. It's incredibly sad. Hey pics thread, I know the world is really painful and ugly, but don't give up trying to make it better, k?

It's up to more than 70 dead now they found stashed in there. They probably already died at least 2-3 days ago; a gardener was mowing the grass next to the Autobahn when he noticed liquid dropping down from the truck Hopefully they'll at least get the people immediately responsible for this - several people smugglers have been arrested yesterday, though as of yet it's unkown whether this was in connection to this case. In lighter news, notice that number? It turns out that of the 5.5 million profiles belonging to women, only about 9,700 showed signs of activity with an additional 12,108 profiles marked as <paid_delete> and the rest either being fake or becoming inactive within the first couple of hours after registration - meaning that for every actual woman with an active profile on there came about 2090 men looking for a date (going by the number of male profiles that at some point checked their inbox). Or, in other words: Ashley Madison was/is a scam of epic proportions, holy poo poo. e: Austrian police just held a press conference. It's 71 dead altogether: 59 men, eight women, four children, possibly Syrians. Three suspects have been arrested in Hungary and are said to be "highly likely" to have been the drivers of the truck, though they probably only constitute the lowest ranks of whatever smuggling outfit they were working for.

I mean the car didn't get wrecked. I guess nobody knows how it actually started but this account brings it back to D&D: quote:Like many Spanish festivals, the celebration was originally a religious one, to honor Bunol's patron saint, San Luis Bertran. One year -- either 1944 or 1945 -- there was a tussle during a procession and some boys tossed tomatoes. A few say it was prompted by village rivalries. Some say it was a joke. But others claim it stemmed from unhappiness with Francisco Franco's reign following Spain's civil war. f#a# fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Aug 28, 2015 |
