BeerOnTap 10/06/19 11:35:06 AM #5:	Mad_Max posted... If only Kansas had relaxed gun laws so someone could've fought back and killed the attacker. How could this have happened?! Probably because it was in a bar, and I know in most states you cannot carry in a bar. You certainly cannot carry while youre consuming alcoholic beverages. Its likely the law in that state too. So yeah, it is too bad that nobody had their firearm on them to fight back. Maybe the bar owners should have been carrying. So what are you trying to say here? That you want to see all guns banned and confiscated. You gun grabbers should have the courage to be specific about what you want. Itll make the conversation a lot easier. <cite>BeerOnTap posted [p:928407857] in Another da...

Let me make it easy for you since you have so much trouble following the three short sentences from my original post: Mad_Max posted... If only Kansas had relaxed gun laws so someone could've fought back and killed the attacker. Clearly, I'm for granting better access to firearms to increase the ability for citizens to defend themselves, as evidenced by my incredulity that this shooting could've happened in a state with already relaxed laws like Kansas.

It made a little sense 250 years ago in the days of muskets, but now that there are semi-auto guns that can fire a hundred shots in a minute, it needs to be changed.

Dark_Spiret 10/13/19 2:48:59 AM #29:	darkknight109 posted... It's weird that the US has the highest number of good guys with guns in the world, yet the bad guys with guns still keep racking up the body count. the US has roughly 19million concealed carry holders as of this year, with a good chunk of them im sure not carrying every day at every second (and most of those are spread across several states, not evenly across 50). most people also dont walk around with a gun on them thanks to areas (like bars) largely outlawing them. basically you have to actually have a "good guy with a gun" be present to actually qualify and the numbers right now are too low (getting better tho) to have a large impact when these situations crop up especially when these shootings by and large take place in areas where guns arnt allowed and if youre a "law abiding citizen/gun owner (specially with a registered ccw)" you dont want to break the law. and if someone does intervene its usually in the opening few seconds of a shooting where the damage is going to be minor and news about it is going to be much more low-key to the point most dont even hear about it. the CDC estimated there are 300-500k defensive gun uses a year. chances are good atleast some of them have stopped a would-be mass shooting already. <cite>Dark_Spiret posted [p:928699576] in Another da...

I condemned slavery in a sentence you conveniently left out, so don't act like I'm fine with that shit. idk, maybe you should try giving fucks about it then. CaptainStrong posted... My point was the problem of slavery is irrelevant now. While I'm the last person to promote SJW issues, even I have to disagree with that. The after-effects of slavery are still felt in this nation. Likewise, the system similarly left scars across every nation that the slave trade touched. CaptainStrong posted... The second amendment hasn't been updated as firearm technology improved. And because of it, there's 1.24 mass shootings per day in America. ...lolwut? You don't need a semi-auto gun for a mass shooting. Some of the most infamous recent shootings have just involved handguns, including the Charleston Church shooting which claimed 9 lives. Otherwise amendments don't tend to "updated" as technology improves and countless restrictions have been placed on firearm ownership since the Second Amendment was put in the Bill of Rights. CaptainStrong posted... You really think 100 shots in a minute is unrealistic? The Christchurch shooter fired a little over 110 shots in a minute. And he wasn't even firing for half of that minute. And he was using semi-auto guns, not full-auto. ...where the hell did you read that? I can't find any citations for it. This sounds like the kind of bullshit like that one constitutional law professor claiming that the AR-15 shoots 10 rounds per second. Whatever restrictions have been implemented clearly aren't enough because there's still 1.24 mass shootings per day in America. I got the number by putting the audio of it into Audacity and counting them. He fired 114 shots in the first minute. With the parts where he wasn't shooting cut out, it's about 30 seconds of shooting. So clearly, even with the time it takes to reload, it's pretty easy to fire a hundred times in a minute with a semi-auto gun. <cite>CaptainStrong posted [p:928705769] in Another da...

Smarkil 10/13/19 7:44:33 PM #37:	Zangulus posted... The founding fathers didnt believe the constitution should be held in perpetuity. It should be revised to fit with the times. So your entire point is laughably bad. It was only Jefferson who believed it should be revised every 20 years or so. Regardless, the point of the constitution wasn't that the government was giving rights to the people but that the people had rights and protections FROM the government. Revisions to the constitution are adequately addressed with amendments if you ask me. Otherwise you leave every amendment open for revision which is scary to me. I never want the government to be in a position where it can take away my right to free speech, religion, remove the abolishment of slavery, etc. The rights enumerated on the list are and should be incredibly difficult to remove. Adding stuff to it, however, should and is accomplished more easily. --- I promise that if the game stinks I will make a topic about how I hate it and you can all laugh at me - Mead on Fallout 76 <cite>Smarkil posted [p:928727495] in Another da...

OhhhJa 10/13/19 8:39:37 PM #38:	All these idiots on social media think they're so woke now because some clickbait articles told them the bill of rights needs to be revised. The bill of rights was fine for two and a half centuries but a few shootings get sensationalized and you can convince these morons that they should give up their 1st and 2nd amendment rights. Not to mention has suspect the details of the some of these mass shootings are and how there's conveniently never any footage of any of them despite cameras being everywhere <cite>OhhhJa posted [p:928729726] in Another da...
