hunter gatherers cons: women forced to carry their children to term due to complete lack of abortions and birth control, which also has a 2% chance of just killing the mother

hunter gatherer pros: I get to slowly hunt antelope and chat with my bros

We all go back to hunter gatherers and a few generations later someone rediscovers agriculture and bronze working and it's back to the stabby stab class driven societies all over again. The biggest rear end in a top hat in the room always has a massive advantage see all of human history especially the present.

what exactly about the investigation has indicated to you that trump is unlikely to be gotten

mueller has been slowly working his way up the organization and almost everything he's done has put trump further and further into a corner

I think Muellers unusual ability to keep his poo poo under wraps muddies the waters on this but, like, all signs are very very bad for Trump and everyone around him. In addition to that, staying quiet lets Trump's Smoothbrain disease and it's Fox News enablers buy their own bullshit and preening around about how totally exonerated they are probably prevents a lot of meddling that would slow them up if certain people were as scared as they should be.

quote:

"How do we make sure that individuals with mental illness do not touch a gun?" Florida Gov. Rick Scott asked yesterday, responding to the shooting that killed 17 people at a Broward County high school on Wednesday. The question, reminiscent of NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre's demand for "an active national database of the mentally ill" after the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012, is woefully misbegotten, casting an unmanageably wide net into the wrong ocean.

Survey data indicate that half of all Americans will qualify for a psychiatric diagnosis at some point in their lives, while a quarter of them do in any given year. Does Rick Scott or Wayne LaPierre think the government should strip 160 million people, or even just 80 million, of their Second Amendment rights because their mental illnesses might predispose them to commit mass murder?

Federal law currently stops far short of disarming all "individuals with mental illness," disqualifying from gun ownership only those who have undergone forcible psychiatric treatment, which is supposed to be based on a legal finding that they pose a danger to themselves or others. That rule is already unreasonably broad, since it means that someone who poses no threat to other people—someone who, say, is committed for treatment because his relatives think he might be suicidal—is not allowed to exercise his constitutional right to armed self-defense, even decades later. Yet the rule was not broad enough to stop Nikolas Cruz, the man charged with carrying out the attack on the Florida high school, from legally purchasing the rifle he used.
and that's with the bullshit approach to categorizing things as "mental illness" nowadays or the way "you break it, you buy it" policies dont apply to society

lmao we deserve more violence

Oh hahahahah naive liberal. You see there was the automatic puckle gun making your point invalid. Sure it weighed 90 lbs and was a naval mounted stationary gun that shot 7 rounds a minute and was flint lock, but I know more about gun trivia so more guns is always good.

Teacher wasnt proficient in combat enough to disable a shooter.
