Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

My neighbor has a CC permit and once pulled a gun out in the middle of a conversation because she thought she saw a "mountain lion" stalking our suburban neighborhood. There was absolutely nothing there and she had pointed that gun almost directly at another house.

An old boss of mine also has a CC permit and basically writes fan-fiction on facebook about encountering dangerous people and using his gun to save the day. Somehow, despite apparently foiling hundreds of attempted murders, robberies, rapes, and arsons he has never once made the news.

A distant cousin has a CC permit and is perfectly normal.

I don't have a problem with guns, but I do have a problem with people buying a gun to feed their delusions or deal with an inferiority complex. We need far stricter gun control laws and that will never ever happen while the NRA exists and throws money to stop every possible common sense law.

Also to every idiot who talks about "banning cars" as an argument against gun control- you do realize you have a loving license plate on your car, have to get registration and insurance, and have to get a license to drive your car which has to be regularly updated, right? There's not some kind of black market for murder cars out there because of this.

if you cannot darkly chuckle at how lust for foreigner death is the most bipartisan of American Ideals, then :sad:

we literally cannot muster majority support for funding the government, but only cranks oppose sending flights of robots to just kinda randomly murder relatives of people who have annoyed us.

Completely irrelevant as this tangent is, I feel the need to point out that Trump has been so eager to please the Saudis that it almost resulted in the loss of the US base in Qatar. The Bush family was so close to the sauds that George Bush's nickname for Bandar Bin Sultan was Bandar Bush, literally declaring the saudi ambassador a family member.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama's coming for your guns, and the only way to stop him is to donate a shitload of money to the NRA. Don't let him take away your basic human rights!

Also, support the Republican party taking away your healthcare, removing regulations that keep you safe at work, and removing penalties for large corporations who take away your basic human rights. But gun!!! Gun is good!!!

a coworker of mine lost a pretty significant chunk of work days to a really bad bout of flu (and the kindness to wait until their fever subsided before coming back)

According to soviet executioners, soviet-made weapons are too unreliable for heavy use and thus it is recommended to use german-made weapons instead

I actually favor Canadian style gun laws but don't care that much since violence around the world tends to coincide with inequality more than anything else. The colonial countries have it the worst; i.e. see Latin America.

The NRA is hot garbage though and it wouldn't shock me if they were mobbed up with the Russians since I know elements of the Russian government have been buddying up to them with conferences and the like.

No idea. I just like bolt action rifles and such so I could handle a Canadian style system. I'm fine with plentiful guns but also impractical guns.

The thing is, unless you live out in the styx there are practically no circumstances anyways in which discharging a firearm outside of a controlled gun range will go well.

Anyways, to conclude, if you look at high rates of violent crime in the world, it seems like a Western Hemisphere problem, and also a South African problem. There are parts of Asia you can go to where I'm sure every household has an SKS stashed inside but you don't see the express kidnappings, strong-arm robberies and road rage murders that you do in the Americas and in Johannesburg, which makes me think there is something about the social conditions of these cutthroat post-colonial places that gets people into a steady boil. People are out for themselves more.

Like you simply don't see East Asians in general going bonkers on each other over road rage. But that's something Americans share with Salvadorans.

Bolt action rifles aren't impractical at all, they're still better than autos at a variety of tasks while benefiting from the same advances in materials and manufacturing that made autos viable in the first place

Now, if you decided that left-handed bolt action rifles were the only rifles that could be produced, that would be impractical for a lot of people... but I'd be real happy about it

Indians too. I can easily see pissing off a whole lot of them all at once and getting them in a downright ugly mood but not individually as much. Like where you're gonna throw down in a parking lot and people start pulling out guns. I don't see it.
