You're missing the point

you are missing the point. the point is that the ridiculous number of guns in circulation in the US (more than there are people in the US), the ease of availability of those guns (legally or illegally), and the fervor with which certain people in the country hold their culture of gun worship, is the primary reason why mass shootings keep happening, and will keep happening until something meaningful is done about all that.

you know, rechudlicans like to say that we shouldn't have vaccines and shit like that because "vaccines weren't in the bible". y'all remember that rhetoric from during the height of the pandemic, right?

well, guess what else wasn't in the bible? guns.

Because more laws are not the answer when addressing gun violence. Restricting 99% of law-abiding citizens from acquiring a firearm legally by increasing the red tape isnt going to stop a criminal from buying one in the back alley with the serial scratched off

the vast majority of mass shootings were done using legally acquired firearms

Did you ask a Republican this? There are people who have conservative views who arent extremists.

if you vote politicians into office who have "extremist" views, then you support those views

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

i agree those are contributing factors as well that need to be addressed, but the biggest contributing factor is definitely the guns themselves, the amount in circulation both legally and illegally, the ease of availability, and the gun culture that is ingrained into so many people's way of life in this country

i think the bigger question is, why are people so eager to bite weak bait from a guy whose username is literally altymcaltface

There is room for discussion but not with someone like this

yeah sorry my main got suspended for calling out users who agree with Bill Maher's shit take on regional transgender statistics. a take that multiple users got modded or suspended for agreeing with.

The most commonly-held position among Republicans is "we will kill you if you try to do anything about this."

what a fucking piece of shit

yeah, wanting to actually do something meaningful to make it not as ridiculous easy as it is for kids to be able to shoot up kids is "government tyranny"

gna647 posted...

Like how do you go through multiple mass shootings of little children and NOT do anything to prevent it from happening again

for roughly half the country, doing anything to prevent it from happening again would mean giving up their bullshit Rambo Commando power fantasies of owning dozens of guns to combat "tyranny", and they are unwilling to do that. kids shooting up other kids is the price they are willing to pay for their FREEDUM.

Rhetoric like this does nothing to convince others to come over to your side.

hint: they are never going to come over to my side, ever, no matter what i or anyone on my side says

pogo_rabid posted...

If you actually cared and wanted to make a difference you should be pushing for more stringent gun control instead of straight up demonizing all gun owners.

the left has been pushing for more stringent gun control for decades but it gets blocked at every turn by you know who

QueenCarly posted...

Yeah, mass shootings are definitely a result of guns being legal, and not hateful racists or right wing extremism.

things can have more than one causal factor

SergeantGander posted...

Gun laws need to reformed. The problem is rhetoric like TC's prohibits anyone from the right from participating in the conversation.

why the fuck would i want any of those chuds participating in the conversation? all they would do is shit it up

deanshow posted...

The sad part is there people that agree with him in the comments

chuds aren't people

gee it's almost like they know that guns are inherently dangerous and shouldn't be allowed to be in the hands of just anyone anywhere, but don't really give a fuck about that except for when it comes to themselves

bigblu89 posted...

Jesus Christ, 100% THIS.

This idea of "Either fix it 100% or don't fix it at all" is an asinine stance to take.

i mean, it's the same stance all the chuds took on the covid vaccines. it's just how they operate, and it's disingenuous as fuck and they don't even care.

Dark_Spiret posted...

the solutions by and large are right there without touching guns. no one wants to either touch those solutions, know how or they want to turn the system into a full blown socialist state.

what "solutions" that don't involve guns at all would that be?

BeantownHero posted...

those who keep yelling to "Do something!" don't want to admit the only real "something" that would stop this is banning of private gun ownership

fuck that, i am the first to admit that. guns need to be taken away from the vast majority of people who currently own them either legally or illegally, by force if necessary

then you are pro school shootings, full stop.

you valuing your "right" to live out your bullshit Rambo Commando power fantasies over the lives of children is the reason why this shit keeps happening. you not being willing to vote in any politician or congressman who would be amenable to stricter gun laws is the reason an 18 year old in this country can go and legally buy two AR-15 style rifles and body armor within days of his 18th birthday, and then use them to go shoot up a school. you are the reason we have hundreds of mass shooting incidents this year already, and thousands before that. this blood is on your hands.

I don't want hear that ****. Calling it a scam is intellectually lazy and ignores the sheer scale of effort (more so capital) made to crash the blockchain. More importantly, if you call everything a scam and not actually articulate on what the problems are with X,Y, and Z projects, and you won't be able to discern legitimate projects from non-legitimate projects (and there are a number of by your caveman logic, "scams" that still persist for years without having blown up spectacularly) and will ultimately conclude "crypto is a scam" even though blockchain tech is the next evolution of the internet.

In any case, Terra's fundamental problem was that it relied on an algorithmic stablecoin algorithm where algorithmic stablecoins typically don't have collateral to back its stablecoin. However, back in March Terra's company did acquire BTC to help collateralize the stabelcoin. Now granted, no algorithmic stablecoins have survived historically but what brought Terra down in this particular case was the attacker deliberately using a mass amount of funds to depeg the stablecoin and ultimately crash the chain. If you guys want to learn about the attack in depth, Bankless did a great job detailing how it went down.

Oh, speaking of depressing games that make you cry, Telltale's The Walking Dead. This was (is?) Telltale's whole genre.

Aside from TWD, A Wolf Among Us is great and I've heard good things about their Borderlands and Batman games.

yes, Tales from the Borderlands is excellent

so this guy had body armor too? why the fuck is body armor even available for public purchase? it shouldn't be, at all. there is no justifiable reason why any regular citizen needs to own body armor.

oh also, all the ones in here:

Does pasta leave anyone else hungry ?

no, but i'm Italian. when we do pasta, we do hearty, homemade marinara sauce, big meatballs, multiple kinds of macaroni, garlic bread, and sometimes something like fried zucchini or eggplant or mozzarella sticks, so it's always a feast. it's one of the things i tend to overeat the most when i have it.

Made some veggie barley lentil soup that stayed in the instant pot too long and turned to stew. Still tasted good.

nice! i love lentils, whether it's stew or soup, lol! actually i just finished up the last of the 15 bean soup that i had in the freezer, and i want to make either more of that or some lentil stew soon. possibly both.

tonight though, it's more buffalo chicken sandwiches and pan-roasted vegetable medley. the latter is in the last 10 minutes in the oven right now. those golden beets look like they are gonna be really good.

Guns are here to stay. People need to get their mental health in check and we need to take more proactive measures like putting more police officers in schools.

i can't decide which is more pathetic, if you actually believe this bullshit or if you are just hopelessly brainwashed by the ridiculous and untrue rhetoric that so many right-wing media outlets push about this kind of thing

i'm glad you think kids shooting up other kids on a weekly basis so you can live out your bullshit Rambo Commando power fantasies is so fucking funny

scorpion41 posted...

Other countries also dont have as many guns per capita like the US does because its not a constitutional right

and that's exactly what needs to change

scorpion41 posted...

Youre not going to get anything banned, confiscated, etc. Thats a pipe dream.

then it's going to come to civil war and forced disarmament

scorpion41 posted...

Because every possible solution is wrong in someones mind. The most feasible solution is to assign resource officers to every school, but with the negativity associated with police good luck getting that done. Lock the schools down like a prison from 8am-3pm? Nope that wont fly either. Arm a select group of teachers? Lol. So no matter what you can think up there is an influential enough voter who wont like it.

lmfao gun-nuts can't even mentally fathom the possibility that the solution might actually involve less guns

Schools are gun free zones

oh okay, so school shootings happen because guns aren't allowed in schools, and if guns were allowed in schools then school shootings wouldn't happen, alright, gotcha

yeah fuck off with this gun-nut propaganda bullshit

in Texas? well, where were all the "good guys with guns" then, republicans? i thought shit like this wasn't supposed to happen in Texas? everyone in Texas has guns, and your supposed solution to gun violence is "more guns", isn't it? so how do you explain this?

I would say the entire Phillip Jeffries plot from FWWM was pretty central to The Return, having introduced the Convenience Store, the Woodsmen, and Phillip himself.

oh shit, you're right, i forgot that he was introduced in FWWM

this just makes me think of when i played Deadly Premonition for the first time, after having watched through Twin Peaks, and how much thought i put into dream castings for a live action DP adaptation.

Emily Wyatt: Naomi Watts, obviously
Michael Tillotson: Cillian Murphy
Harry Stewart: David Lynch
