I think the least we can do is regulate guns at least as much as we regulate cars, and I don't think that's too ridiculous, unless you're one of the libertarian types who thinks driver's licenses are impugning our god-given rights somehow Anyone can buy any car they want. You only need a license and plate number to drive it on public roads. Guns already have far stricter regulations on bringing them out in public, and even in private they ALL have serial numbers. So good news, the gun problem is solved!!! Except just like driver's licenses don't prevent 600+ kids killed per year ~~who you don't give a shit about~~ ( https://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/child_passenger_safety/cps-factsheet.html ) neither do gun licenses. BowserCuffs posted... I mean, when a guy brought enough liquids onto a plane to create a bomb, what did we do? Did we oppose regulation because we should have the right to bring whatever liquids we want onto a plane? Nope! We regulated the shit out of it to prevent any more bombings! We also made everyone take off their shoes after 1 person snuck a shoe bomb in once! And no one made a shoe bomb ever again! It's so obvious that these regulations work. And yet after all that, 9/11 happened, the worst aviation attack in US history. This proves that banning shoes and shampoo CAUSES more terrorism! But don't worry, now we x-ray everyone who goes on a flight (unless you pay $80 to skip it, because obviously having $80 means you're not a terrorist). It won't everrrrrrrrr happen again!!! I don't get why people get so powerfully braindead and chasing easy short cuts when solving a problem like this. It's god damn child murder and terrorism, why not spend 5 seconds thinking about what you're saying? Do you really care so little about the actual problem? You will take literally the first superficial solution that makes you sleep better at night, and that's it. You don't care about actual solutions or statistics or logic. It's so stupid and directly destructive to society. --- _foolmo_ 2 + 2 = 4 <cite>foolm0r0n posted [p:896131228] in Politics C...
