For like, 6 months there'd be a rapid and stark increase in homicides. Likely from hot-headed assholes. But after they're all shot and killed, I think there's be almost no violence at all. Then society would just have a lot less assholes and idiots. --- The best advice my dad ever gave me was, "Life's full of idiots, don't be one." <cite>PaunchyTurtle53 posted [p:965415229] in How would ...

Malcrasternus 05/30/22 8:14:54 PM #113:	Kloe is definitely part of the "please do something" crowd, where that something is to pass more restrictions and financial walls that put minorities and the poor at an even greater disadvantage. Personal protection, only if you're rich enough to afford it. Training, classes, safes, locks, all these things should be free, or even incentivized by the government. But they won't be. Anti gun people can't look 10 feet ahead of them. Just to ban, restrict, make criminals out of the law abiding.

lightwarrior78 05/30/22 9:50:36 PM #132:	DarthAragorn posted... Hey bud here's a question for you Why do laws exist if criminals will just break them anyway To have a baseline punishment and justification to do so when harm is done. You can't do much when people don't know what they're not allowed to do. Some people just get to a point where deterrence isn't going to work. It's why gun control would at best lower the body count. We'd just have less dead kids, not no dead kids. We might get more if people get smart about other ways to kill. The issues are mental and cultural in ways that won't be solved by throwing money at therapists that will teach mindfullness exercises and other bullshit. People need a sense of hope and positivity in their life. Friends, a decent job, a purpose in life. People that don't want to be friends with the weird kid, or let them have a job, or get laid, that's a breeding ground for people that are likely to do dumb things for attention, for vengence, for a sense of self defense from potential harm. --- I'm not saying that less toxic gaming journalists would lead to less toxic gamers.

You can't do much when people don't know what they're not allowed to do. Some people just get to a point where deterrence isn't going to work. It's why gun control would at best lower the body count. We'd just have less dead kids, not no dead kids. We might get more if people get smart about other ways to kill. The issues are mental and cultural in ways that won't be solved by throwing money at therapists that will teach mindfullness exercises and other bullshit. People need a sense of hope and positivity in their life. Friends, a decent job, a purpose in life.
