We do not want to start detailing the many times that a single individual killed dozens (sometimes hundreds) of their fellow humans with non-firearm implements. It is a depressing and sobering list. Be glad that here in the states what is possibly the least effective tool for mass murder is selected.

Haha, this bullshit line of thought almost always naturally leads to retarded arguments about how dangerous things like bats and knives are. The fear mongering about how dangerous knives and bats are naturally devolves to the point where any rational person starts thinking "Wait, if these things are so dangerous, why do people bother using guns?"

The fun fact about cars, bats, knives, and fires is they have a purpose besides killing people.

Like, aside from bs target pistols and stuff, guns are made for the express purpose of perforating human beings.

I don't believe he ever approached any woman, but just stewed in his own head. The problem wouldn't have been solved by him "lowering his standards." Besides, women can smell "serial killer" which is why most of the bastards target prostitutes who can't get away or phone the police.

That's why we shower America with guns, guns, guns everywhere so potential killers will take the bait and be drawn to them instead of much more lethal methods, which is why America has the lowest rates of homicides and mass shootings in the entire developed world

Wow LeJackal, I was hoping you'll show an instance where someone managed to hit like a hundred people with a rock or something, but instead you go for something else that's obviously extremely dangerous and needs to be heavily regulated, and still killed less people than guns in total this year in the US. What next, 'we're nice enough not to ask for nukes, why can't we have the guns?'

I can't think of a good way of administering it only to the men though. Unless someone were to use the aforementioned macho culture against itself and start a meme that you're a beta cuck if you don't inject yourself with antiandrogens every day. You could even restrict it just to the chans and it would have prevented a couple of these cases.

Gasoline and matches needs to be heavily regulated? (Also, the claim was comparing mass murder body counts.)

No, the claim was comparing the dangers posed by FIREarms to those posed by other things.

e: and really, the fact you wrote that guns are "possibly the least effective tools" for mass killing just shows how screwed up your thinking is

You know, LeJackal is right. Using this example proves one thing and one thing alone will stop this.

The guns aren't killing people, the bullets are. We can let people have as many guns as they want. They just can't get bullets. Problem solved and everyone is happy forever.

misogyny kills

men feel entitled to women's bodies and attention. Patriarchal media and misogynist echo chambers like reddit tell him in no uncertain terms that women are objects, not people, and if he doesn't "own" one (a very narrow subset of the right kind of one mind you) he is worthless as a man.

When women refuse*, this us what happens.

*or, in the case of Elliot Rodgers, they don't even refuse, because he never asked. He thought hot blonds should just beg at his feet. He specifically said that he hated women in his manifesto, and we still got weeks of the media going BUT WHY DID HE DO IT?

when women say no to a guy they're not interested in: "it's your fault for being rude! c'mon just give him a chance!"

Two members of the proletariat struggle to move a ladder to the edge of the hole they're in. While they're preoccupied with pulling the heavy ladder, a member of the bourgeoisie runs up and saws the ladder in half.
Undeterred the two workers search for a crack or crevice that they can use to escape from the pit of capitalism.

I don't understand

The two men in the first panel have struggled to escape the pit, which represents the state of the proletariat's status as an oppressed under class trapped and forced to sell their labor and toil endlessly. Over a long period of time they accumulated enough resources to attempt to climb out of the pit, and when they neared their goal the bourgeoisie is introduced in the second panel. Here we can see he controls the tools and means of production, and he uses them in such a way as to prevent the proletariat masses from escaping his exploitation. The artist may have also meant to use a saw to display how the bourgeoisie use the force of the state to further the status quo. In the third panel we see that the bourgeoisie has left and the proletariat have been led back to their frail attempts to climb to an escape, still unable to do so.

The person who posted this cropped out the fourth panel, where the proletariat recognize that only through reclaiming the means of production can they truly reclaim what is theirs by right and be free, and so they beat the bourgeoisie into submission and take the saw that is rightly theirs; in addition that the saw is the state, now in the hands of the working class.
