Oh dang you're right those laws are so effective obviously this person having a gun was a fluke and no other criminals any where have guns silly me bro my bad our laws are absolutely perfect as-is and enforcement is top notch just one single solitary baddie with a gun yup What? Your shitposts just get weirder and weirder. How long has murder been illegal and how many laws do we have preventing murder yet murder keeps being a thing? Clearly the laws are insufficient! But yeah, I'm guessing it's just a really shitty cover on your part because you stupidly thought he had bought a gun legally, which is why you bring up THE INTARWEBZ!!! when that dude doesn't even look like he knows how to turn a computer on. sodium-chloride posted... It's really not a stupid question. It's a pretty stupid assumption by you that he bought the gun. Maybe he stole the gun. Maybe a friend sold or gave it to him. Maybe it was his girlfriend's gun and he disassembled it to not get her in deep shit with the crime. It's still a stupid question since regardless the answer is illegally and he tries to suggest it was somehow done legally. sodium-chloride posted... Also, if a convicted felon can buy a gun then there's something that needs to be changed about the way guns are sold in this country. Even if he got it through some other means like mentioned above, somebody somewhere fucked up in selling a gun to a person who definitely should not be handling firearms. lolwut? Does a drug dealer "fuck up" when he sells drugs? You're pretending that there's some oversight when it's usually just deliberate criminality. sodium-chloride posted... Can we agree that it is way too easy for anyone (felon or not) to get a gun in this country? Not really, no. There are countless onerous laws on the books making it difficult for law-abiding citizens to buy guns. _AdjI_ posted... Pedantically speaking, if it hasn't been prevented, it's been allowed. The fact that it has happened suggests that the laws in question are inadequate. Then are you suggesting we allow rape and child molestation in this country? Because there are countless laws against both yet it still happens. _AdjI_ posted... I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that a good many people who illegally sell guns do, though. The bottom line is that - with the pretty negligible exception of homemade ones - every illegally-owned gun was legally acquired at some point, then passed into the illegal market because the laws are inadequate for preventing that. You mean laws preventing theft don't actually stop theft (such as the theft of guns from homes)? You know what laws also don't stop shit? Gun-free zone laws don't prevent shootings. Murder laws don't prevent murders. Rape laws don't prevent rape. Theft laws don't prevent theft. A gun is pretty effective at preventing a lot of that stuff, though. If everybody at that BK -- including the employee -- was packing, do you think this thug would have engaged in a violent confrontation? Given that you guys don't trust or even like cops, you should be all for more citizens having guns to defend themselves against violent felons like this punk who, even if he only had a knife, was a danger to the employee and others. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...
