Banning stuff.. like guns? Like every other developed nation has done? Which works?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Many countries have not banned guns but instead have proper mental health.

[–] T00l_shed 5 points 1 year ago

Canada has neither, but does have more strict laws regarding guns. Could be stricter I some ways though.

But you're not going with the heckin narrativerino!!!!! Nvm Switzerland actively encourages gun ownership, or Czechia has the same constitutional right to bear arms we do (to fight off invaders like the soviets and nazis due to historical events, hm sounds familiar) or Norway still allowing gun ownership after taking tests and showing competency!!!!

The heckin narrativerino!!!!!!!!! All social democrat nations have banned guns!!!! The UK is a nation we should be mimicking!!!!

Fuck these losers, make citizens lives better. Remember they can't take your rights if they have to take your life first.

I literally can't figure out what your point is from that incoherent rant

[–] Wodge 6 points 1 year ago

I live in Switzerland and have never once seen any encouragement to buy guns.

I agree with everything you said but holy fuck you sound obnoxious

[–] Torvum -1 points 1 year ago

This topic just sincerely pisses me off when people with the understanding of guns is equal to that of a toddler begin speaking. If you want to make something your enemy, at LEAST understand it.

"The US is turning fascist and the trains come next!"

I know. I'm old, have a fair grasp of history and have seen some scary fucking changes.

"Give us your guns!"

Well, no, I won't.

"Tough guy! You gonna actually fight back?!"

Well, yes, I'm old. When you're nearing end of days, it's not as scary. I won't seek a fight, I am a peaceful man. I am not harmless.

The solid commentary, not to mention the brevity, "the soul of wit", is stunning here.

Go back to reddit and score you some points with bullshit like this.

OR, actually participate in the discussion.

In either case, this is neither helpful nor welcome.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You posted the equivalent of winning a shower argument with some machismo one man army daydreaming bullshit. The same exact reasoning far right morons use, what discussion is there to be had?

"Hey America, I know you guys are having a domestic terrorism issue: so why don't we make the people that contribute to society in a positive way less able to defend themselves?"

It's like you guys willfully ignore that there are literal fascists in this country that will not give up their guns.

On a very minor technicality, since society is a group of people, every person in that group contributes to society. Some of them contribute negatively to society but it is still technically a contribution.

All of that aside, given the recent state of human society, I feel like making property owners into felons for owning property that they legally purchased would only incentivize them to commit more felonious acts.

making property owners into felons for owning property that they legally purchased

I have a .22 "rifle". Same gun as pictured, but shorter barrel with a stupid "handicap" stock to make it legal. After 14+ million of us bought one, the ATF said, "Nope. You're a felon." Aight. Mine stays in the safe at my private camp.

And what did we gain here? We took a .22LR, that constantly jams, and made me a felon for owning a thing I bought legally.

would only incentivize them to commit more felonious acts

Well, I don't know about that, but I certainly have less respect for gun laws now.

And for you "high-capacity" mag banners; All of my guns, including this one, actually work far better with smaller mags. So... thanks for legislating that my gun makes killing more efficient?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Edited to account for the technicality.
