I hope you're incredibly progressive about LGBTQ+ people then. Keep up this energy for things that don't kill people. I just want to know why people stockpile guns if they don't plan on using them.

From the guys who brought you "you don't need that to defend yourself, you have the police!" and "We should get rid of the police because they are racist morons" comes "fuck you poor man, should have been wealthier if you wanted that rifle."

TULPAMANCER 06/05/22 2:04:56 PM #43:	Increasing the price tenfold would be a deterrent to a normal person, but obviously someone capable of a mass shooting is absent the kind of rational thought process the rest of us use. I'm afraid several of the following outcomes are likely: (1) a future perpetrator will simply save up enough money to purchase the weapons, all the while that extra time gives them more opportunity to better plan their massacre; (2) a lunatic who is impatient will simply rob or burglarize a company or individual to gather the necessary funds; (3) the disturbed person will simply forego those types of firearms and just purchase some basic handguns, which may abate the number of deaths in an ensuing shooting but it won't prevent deaths from happening <cite>TULPAMANCER posted [p:965564815] in 1000% tax ...

TULPAMANCER 06/05/22 2:14:45 PM #50:	CyricZ posted... So people who do massacres are known for their good planning? Oftentimes, yes. Columbine? Vegas? With what? You think robberies are only done with guns? And burglary by definition does not involve personal interaction so weapons aren't even required to pull that off. "Seatbelts cannot stop all vehicular deaths therefore no car should have seatbelts." The whole point is to reduce the capacity for greater tragedy. No, the point is to eliminate the problem at its cause, which is mental illness. Which is better: reducing the capacity of a brainsick individual to purchase assault rifles, reducing casualties from 50 to "just" 10, or improving online identification of risk factors and dangerous behavior to help these people before a massacre ever happens? <cite>TULPAMANCER posted [p:965565029] in 1000% tax ...
