Could you expand on this? I'm familiar with gun control laws only becoming popular when the "wrong people" started carrying, but I'm honestly stumped figuring out the racial angle on the 2nd.

Here's a good article about it: https://www.npr.org/2021/06/02/1002107670/historian-uncovers-the-racist-roots-of-the-2nd-amendment

I think that's leaping to the most extreme possible interpretation of what they said.

I agree with them to be honest. It sure appears as if the gun violence crisis--really, multiple different kinds of crises that all go back to guns--is not going to be resolved through normal political means. There will need to be, at least, sustained nationwide demonstrations on par with what we're seeing in France and Israel right now in order to even begin to move the needle.

Looks like it's time, once again, to point to the example of Australia. This time with assistance from John Oliver! I have even queued up the link for the inevitable "America is different" argument:

Respectfully, that is not at all convincing. It does not address the myriad systemic issues--both cultural and political--that make America a vastly different situation than Australia.

Thanks for proving my point so quickly

Judgy Fucker posted:

As a specific example, the speed with which they passed their gun control legislation. Of course it only took a few months, Australia has a parliamentary system where a government can do poo poo like that. They don't have to worry about divided government or a filibuster (at the very least) when legislating.

....how does this prevent us from passing gun control related laws? And do you think that a parliamentary system makes it impossible to have a divided government?

Technically, yes. A parliamentary system has the executive and legislative branch within a single elected body, so it is literally impossible to have a divided government where the executive and legislative branches are controlled by different people.

Thanks for the explanation, maybe I had a different idea of the term divided government. I was thinking of a divided government within the same branch, i.e. Australia's Senate and House of Representatives. This is how it was always referred to as within my state of MN, so I assumed this was the correct usage of the term.

How did I do that, exactly? It's not a logical fallacy to say that the U.S. is different from Australia both socially and politically. Why is it logical to assume that something that worked in Australia will definitely work in the U.S.?

Oh, you don't know what you're talking about. Okay, then.

You never answered the question and are ignoring the fact that the Australian government can have split control of the legislative branch, like they currently do. Let me rephrase my question.

Since we've seen the US government pass meaningful gun control legislation in the recent past (Federal Assault Weapons Ban), why do you think that our government structure is what holds us back from passing gun control laws similar to Australia?

Or, to the larger point that started this ~~derail~~, why do you think our government structure is what makes it impossible to get it to the point where we can see a meaningful difference in gun deaths in our country?

Judgy Fucker posted:

Why is this a derail? We're discussing a US-centered current event

The structure of our government prevents us from passing meaningful gun control legislation because it is purposefully undemocratic. It is willfully structured so that minority rule prevails. There are enough powerful, minority interests who do not want any kind of gun control legislation to pass, ever. What happened to that assault weapons ban, by the way?

If you want to know how or why I've come to my position, here's a question for you: if it's so easy Australia did it, why is meaningful gun control legislation not being passed in the U.S. right now? or even since the ban was repealed?

And besides, you're arguing the affirmative here. You prove your case on how it'd be so simple to do, and please be a bit more thorough in your explanation than posting a four-minute infotainment clip.

Good point about this not being a derail, whoops.

Our structure of government is not a true democracy, absolutely. But, as history as shown, we can still pass gun control laws. I never said it's simple/easy/etc. But you were making the argument that it's impossible because of it.

To correct your statement, I wouldn't say Australia easily did it. IIRC, they passed it by one vote by a conservative who threw away his political career for it. A more accurate stating would probably be they had the correct politicians in office at the correct time.

Another correction is the Federal Assault Weapons Ban wasn't repealed, it was expired and wasn't renewed. Which ends in the same result of the ban, but I think its important to show that it wasn't because of an extremely strong rebuke of that law.

For your question about the USA, gun control legislation isn't being passed for a myriad of reasons. Off the top of my head, the leading causes is probably something along the lines of:

The gun lobby is still really powerful
The second amendment makes the ideological discussion for gun control harder (but, as we know, SCOTUS has placed limitations on 2A)
Guns are [incorrectly] viewed as a useful tool for protection. While historically this was much more common in the right leaning communities, it's been taken off recently in the left leaning communities

To your point about government structure in general, I could maybe throw the makeup of the senate in that list too. However, I think that's secondary to those other 3 points. If those other 3 points shift among the general populace, I imagine a lot more centrist (D & R) politicians would happily vote for gun control laws.

Once again, I never said it was simple, but I think it absolutely is possible to pass major changes through our federal government. And I know this is true because we've seen it in the recent past.

What exactly do you mean here? What level of government do you mean by "our politicians" (i.e. local/state/federal)? What does "failing to address this [gun control] issue" mean to you?

We've seen politicians at every level of government pass gun control legislature in the last ~30 years, so that's why I'm confused on what you're asking.

CuddleCryptid posted:

The large problem with "stopping" shootings is that you can't, at least not entirely. There are dozens of things you can do to minimize shootings such as safe storage laws, domestic violence gun revocation, and mental health services expansion. But none of those truly *prevent* shootings one hundred percent and that makes them sound like half measures, meaning they get very little play. Ultimately if someone is motivated enough then they could do it, because it is a cultural problem, not a legislative one.

People don't want to hear "this will cut shootings by 80%", because that isn't far enough. But even if you go full on "the police keep us safe, melt all privately held guns in America" confiscation (which will never happen) then there will *still* be at least some shootings from the people who are still allowed to have guns.

The only way to actually fix this is a fundamental shift in how we interact with firearms as a culture and good loving luck on that.

I�m confused on who your post is directed at. Are you directing this at a poster ITT or saying that the populace don�t care about gun safety if it�s not 100% effective, but otherwise would? Or someone else?

True. They haven't actually passed anything yet, though. I'm not familiar with the progress on that specific issue in MN; do you know if it is likely to pass? I believe it has passed committees there before, but ended up dying.

It never went anywhere previously because we�ve had a split controlled legislature for a while. The DFL finally got full control of it this year.

While they only have +1 in the Senate, I haven�t heard of any holdouts. The main DFL leaders/Governor Walz (and Jesse Ventura, of course) have been very outspoken about getting this passed. And it�s gone through like 13 committees already since the beginning of the year, I think? So it seems to be flying through with changes being made here and there, but nothing that�s been majorly opposed by any DFL members AFAIK.

Based on these things, I would say yes, it's very likely to pass

Have you considered that as a child you didn't actually have the best grasp of what was going on? Bill Clinton campaigned on "�queer people are allowed to serve in the military� but there was bipartisan support for a total ban being pushed by the Chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee. They didn't cut it down to DADT for no reason.

You should read up more on Clinton�s stances before tooting his horn too much: https://www.politico.com/story/2014/10/clinton-documents-gays-in-the-military-111784

quote:

Clinton heard strong disagreement from Powell and the other chiefs. Marine Commandant Gen. Carl Mundy may have been the most strident opponent of allowing gays to serve openly. Quoting someone involved in a Queer Nation parade, Mundy said people associated with �gay pride� are licentious and unconstrained by law or morality. Mundy, who died earlier this year, also suggested that announcing �I�m gay� was the �same as I�m KKK, Nazi, rapist,� the notes show.

Answering some of Mundy�s concerns, Clinton said a �disqualifying act� could go beyond sex acts. �People I would like to keep [in the military] wouldn�t show up at a Queer Nation parade,� the president said.

quote:

Gore added that he thought Mundy was �borderline in his presentation,� especially when he compared gays to Nazis.

Clinton did not agree with Gore that Mundy�s remarks were out of line, the notes say, adding that he thought the Marine commandant �meant it well.�

texas passed a 6 week ban but left the "criminalizing" up to their citizens bypassing the whole "state punishment" thing in a very very obvious way. they set up the system and handed out the tools for punishment but never punished anyone themselves. this led to RvsW being overturned right? the state did criminalize abortions but outsourced the punishment. to me that's a direct non-compliance because it set up the overturn by passing laws contrary to the previous ruling.
to me that's enough to say texas was ignoring established law.
again i think we agree on most of this stuff. i just don't think it's as settled as "they accept rulings they don't like"

Since there seems to be some confusion, let me try reiterating it a different way. In general, Republicans want to severely restrict and/or ban abortion. However, every time they passed a state/local law that got struck down by a federal judge for being in violation of Roe v Wade, they have never raised a middle finger and said �we�re still going to enforce this law�.

Of course they�re going to try to get around the law. Everyone does that with a law they disagree with. It�s a natural part of the system, since laws do (and should) have limitations. But that�s still abiding by a judge�s ruling on the previous attempt that was found in violation of said law

Gyges posted:

It's most likely less the meat industry, more conservatives trying to own almond milk loving liberals. The topline numbers are always going to make almonds look worse than alfalfa just because nuts are a ridiculously inefficient crop from a water usage perspective. So everyone agrees to throw all the shade on almonds while everyone else continues to guzzle the rivers dry.

It's the usual thing where it's way easier for the lay person to identify the various composite parts of the problem than it is to identify the overall foundation of the problem itself. Almonds aren't single-handedly draining the river, the F-23 isn't why the Military budget is FUBAR, 6-pack rings aren't the foundation of ocean pollution, and earmarks aren't the true bane of wasteful government spending.

TBH, I don't think generic conservatives are smart enough, or care enough, to do it. For a while it seemed like all of the media outlets were heavily focused on things along the lines of "CA drought is being heavily exasperated by all of these almonds!!!!". If conservatives wanted to own the libs, they would do what they always do, which is to blame minorities for the problem.

E: And as silence_kit alluded to, the story changes a lot when you look at it from a calorie perspective. At a quick glance of https://www.watercalculator.org/water-footprint-of-food-guide/, almonds use only slightly more water than, for example, milk. Per thousand calories, it's ~737 gallons of water for almonds and ~644 gallons of water for milk. Once you start looking at things like cheese/meat/etc, it's a higher water usage.

And this is exactly why lab-ground meat is going to eventually overtake and replace animal husbandry in my opinion. It'll just be significantly more efficient and cost-effective. The problem right now is simple production pipeline issues.

TBH, humanity will probably be dead from climate change before lab grown is the default meat source on a global level

E: To add more context, I would love for lab-grown meat to take off like crazy, it would be so much better for everything climate related. However, it's such a slow development process and will take forever for it to even have a decent market share in the US. And then having that spread from the US (and/or wherever else) to the rest of the world that won't be able to afford to manufacture it

The doomerism on cultured meats (and things with technological solutions and viable proofs-of-concept already existing, generally) strikes me as really weird and shortsighted. If the past 200 years has taught us anything about humanity's capacity for invention, it is that we routinely develop and scale things that were thought just one generation before to be impossible or unworkably complex

My doomerism is because when it comes to human invention, including all of the items you listed, it always prioritizes convenience over everything, especially environmental impact. Now hey, maybe we�re finally focusing on the environment enough. But that�s not a bet I�d be willing to make.

Has this happened in the history of the US? Every example I can think of ends up with law changes in favor of the left and not the right (slavery, civil rights, etc). Unless you don't count those as revolutions, I suppose.

It's pretty decisive that those were not revolutions: those were top down reforms imposed by the federal government after abolitionists/Civil rights activists successfully lobbied and took power through democratic means.

Saying those things happened because of activists lobbying and taking power through "democratic means" is an odd way to describe the mass violence that occurred, but okay.

I think the talk about murdering people was all bluster, as evidenced by the fact that they didn�t murder anyone.

Talking about wanting to murder a politician and actually doing it are far different.

They did kill a capitol police officer, it's not that far of a leap to think they would have also killed a politician had they gotten their hands on one...

That is fair and defensible, but the jan 6 rioters being united by hating democracy doesn't proceed automatically to Murder Death Kill.

What are you talking about? They killed a capitol police officer...

I blows my mind that with all the mass shootings that take place in America every day, where a person brings a gun to a building and murders ton of people all at once, that anyone could look at the Jan. 6 riots where a bunch of people brought a bunch of guns to a building and think "Yeah, there was clearly no way anyone could have been killed that day".

Seriously. It also blows my mind that some people ITT already forgot that they did kill someone that day.

That's right.

e: but seriously there's no reason to jump immediately to openly talking about violence when there's a whole spectrum of action that hasn't even been tried. The Floyd protests were a step in the right direction, but that energy seems to have completely dried up after Biden was elected.

Just a reminder that the Floyd protests absolutely did get violent in Minneapolis. 2 people died in burning buildings here

PETA is ideologically opposed to pets (having a dog is akin to slavery), so in their twisted logic it can actually be more ethical to just kill them instead of consigning them to a lifetime of slavery/belly rubs.

I�m not a PETA fan, but their ideologies aren�t anywhere near this stupid: https://www.peta.org/about-peta/why-peta/pets/

I also feel like it's part of the problem with those deranged rear end trump threads that liberals get more obsessed with trump than his own followers are and at the expense of literally everything else.

Trump is a symptom of the problem, he is not the source and getting rid of him will not fix it.

Can you expand on this with specific examples? TBH, I barely knew Trump had some town hall with CNN. And after I found out, I saw a headline with Anderson Cooper essentially saying �please don�t watch this�*

*I think the literal wording was closer to �I don�t blame you if you don�t watch this�

I'm still loving shocked that people were watching Trump's speeches in this very forum. And then complaining about their mental health issues. Don't need to dunk your head in the sewer to confirm it still tastes like poo poo.

So�because there were some people in D&D watching Trump�s speeches, you�re making the claim that

No, the original point being made was this:

And that is just wrong. I literally just posted an example of a party with a minority of votes holding onto dominating power by having previously bent government processes to their will. That is in direct conflict with the stated understanding of power, so yeah, I'm calling it wrong. If you want to say that the only way that was possible was they had the votes at some point in the past to make those changes, then you're basically just making my point, which, again, is this:

Do you think the Democratic party can achieve more [lasting] power without getting more votes? Do you think that Republicans will continue maintaining their current level of power if they keep getting less votes?
