doesnt matter if knives kill 100000 people a year, so long as they happen one at a time?

thats pretty fucking dispassionate jen.

That's how bleeding hearts work, it's not about fixing the most damaging issue, it's about fixing the most impactful issue.

Lol, that guy schmen. He's trying to act all high and mighty. We all know including him, that if him and his wife didn't suffer from MS, that 15% he donated would have stayed in his pocket.

Gun laws in Germany were pretty much at their loosest under the Nazi regime.

No... No they weren't, my friend.

Yes, they were.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_legislation_in_Germany#Gun_regulation_of_the_Third_Reich

The 1938 German Weapons Act, the precursor of the current weapons law, superseded the 1928 law. As under the 1928 law, citizens were required to have a permit to carry a firearm and a separate permit to acquire a firearm. But under the new law:

-Gun restriction laws applied only to handguns, not to long guns or ammunition. The 1938 revisions completely deregulated the acquisition and transfer of rifles and shotguns, and the possession of ammunition.
-The legal age at which guns could be purchased was lowered from 20 to 18.
-Permits were valid for three years, rather than one year.
-Less classes of user were exempt from the requirement to hold an acquisition permit; holders of annual hunting permits, government workers, and NSDAP (the National Socialist German Workers' Party) members were no longer subject to gun ownership restrictions. Prior to the 1938 law, only officials of the central government, the states, and employees of the German Reichsbahn Railways were exempted.[8]
-Manufacture of arms and ammunition continued to require a permit, with the proviso that such permits would no longer be issued to any company even partly owned by Jews; Jews could not manufacture or deal in firearms or ammunition.

Seriously, do your homework. This sort of info is not hard to find out, especially when it's been pointed out to you.

Making it up? Baiting? You flat out told me it mattered more when a crowd of people die than when it happens one at a time. 1600 singular deaths don't matter in the face of a hundred dying in a group. You baited your fucking self which is easy to do when you look at the argument from such a deluded point of view.

You're a hypocrite Jen. That's the point I've been making the whole time. You can ignore it and go on being a hypocrite, or look at yourself and maybe become a better person.

Were knives originally designed to hunt AKA kill or were they originally designed to skin and prepare the animal after being killed with a larger weapon like a spear or a bow and arrow? I think we'd need to talk to some kind of anthropologist or something to sort this one out.

So before the MS, none of your charity actually benefited humans and now you're only contributing to the MS society because it could directly benefit you. You don't donate to human charities because they benefit all people, just the one that benefits you.

A gun is not a weapon, Jen. It's a tool, like a butcher knife, or a harpoon, or... uh... uh... an alligator.

Bro, the benefits of my donations will for sure not be seen in my lifetime so I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

As for the rest of your post, do you just hate animals? Personally I feel more of a sense of responsibility for a domesticated animal that can't survive on its own than I do for people who typically suffer from their own poor decisions.

I'd also like to note since you mentioned environmental charities that I did FREE consultations at a recycling plant in China that directly lead to several thousand tons of e-waste staying out of landfills on a yearly basis bro. What are YOU doing for the environment? Frying chicken wings doesn't count.

K so then tell me what the difference is? If knives cost so many lives then why do we not need to ban them, but we do need to ban guns? You could have answered at any point in this topic if you had an answer, but I'm still waiting.

What does wanting people to not have guns have to do with being complacent about knife violence? They are different things, fuck off.

You're like those people who think they have a huge "gotcha" when they point out people who believe in climate change use electricity. We can't solve every problem at once, and we won't solve any if we discredit the people who think about them in smaller steps.

Right, but she literally just said that wasn't the case bro. You are saying those deaths are inconsequential because the weapon used can be used for other things.

I've already said several times that knives are extremely multipurpose tools and don't exist solely to kill. And just because there's no weapon ban doesn't mean their deaths don't matter. You're the one who keeps saying that like you feel that way. People have been murdered with rolling pins meant for baking but they don't exist to be only weapons. That doesn't mean not banning rolling pins means their death didn't matter.
