Country with 100 snakes declares victory on snake eradication but can't figure out why the country with 100,000,000 snakes can't get rid of them.

Country with 100 snakes declares victory on snake eradication but can't figure out why the country with 100,000,000 snakes can't get rid of them.
Well that may be the case for them, but it certainly isn't the case for the US. I alone have hundreds of rounds of ammo. That's what many people will shoot in an afternoon. Those people have thousands or tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition.
My Ruger Mark III pistol is designed, manufactured and advertised as a target shooter intended to put holes in paper and cans. Same with my shotgun with skeet shooting. So you're wrong. Wanna try again?
My point is holding gun manufacturers accountable for bad actors is dumb af. If I run a bunch of people over with my car your reaction wouldn't be to sue Subaru. Get your head out of your ass
Bang! You just got hit by somebody drinking and driving. An event that is exponentially more likely to happen.
Mini gun owners have thousands of rounds of ammunition. If you restrict the sale of ammo it won't do anything. I'll be sitting on a gold mine. >Guns turned in The only guns that will be turned in is Uncle Buck's hunting rifle and paw paws world war II trophy he brought back from Germany.
Remember that incident where somebody tried to shoot up a church and there was another armed person in church that engaged and stopped them?
How hard is it to acquire ammo? What does this have to do with the US??
This is exactly why attempted gun control should be abhorred and resisted
It's ridiculous to compare America to other nations. It's a completely different scenario in situation and you can't expect to have the same results.
A speck of dust in a lake
Shame.
Because you're driving on public roads. I don't need a license, insurance or registration to drive my car on my own property.
So you're a fan of nanny states and child marriage huh?
Yeah if I have a rifle I have an advantage over somebody with a knife
Black gun SCARY!
Maga is one of the many reasons why I'm armed
How's that any different than somebody having a car collection? Or collecting anything else for that matter?
My wife solved a problem with a gun when she stopped an attempted rape with one.
Active shooters get a lot of publicity, but those are not the main source of gun violence. The main source of gun violence can be traced back to African Americans. Since you want to bring race into it.
Exactly. Anytime I hear about someone drinking and driving that kills someone else, the first thing I want to do is start advocating for stricter control on alcohol.
Sometimes I'll wake up in the morning and I'll see my gun has managed to find its way out of the safe and it's laying in the middle of the floor. Completely empty and covered in dirt. Who knows what it got up to last night.
That's right. If I run over a bunch of people with a heavy rental truck, that's not my fault, that's on GMC.
At a time where fascism is at America's doorstep, this sounds like a great idea!
If I'm motivated to hurt somebody, There's no law that will stop me. Administering a psychological test for firearm ownership is ripe for abuse
It's already illegal to sell a gun to someone who has been adjudicated mentally deficient. So with that being said, define "crazy"
Okay, let's get started. It's more simple than I thought! youtu.be/bnoFKskvSq4?...
They're using it as an excuse to call trans mentally ill and bar them from gun ownership
It's not remotely reasonable to think what worked for Australia will work for the US. Even door to door gun confiscation will not result in disarming people. Many people would open fire on those who knock too. But you don't have to be the one who knocks and you're okay with sending others
No, but I've shot someone.
The horses out of the barn in the US. There's no bringing it back in.
That's easy for you to say behind your keyboard. You go get the guns motherfucker.
It's already illegal to murder children. What law would have prevented this??
Yeah, it's a simple solution if you have a simple mind
What is? Killing kids or being trans?
People like you are exactly why we should resist gun control
If Democrats would shut the fuck up about gun control, they would completely pull the rug out from the Republican call to arms to vote.
I ate there and worked there and I'm a complainer. If you saw the things I saw in that kitchen, you wouldn't eat there either.
My wife stopped an attempted rape with a firearm so you might understand my position better now. Have a pleasant day yourself.
The shooter today had a shotgun and a handgun. Ban the rifle and he's still armed. Also for a gun that's supposedly so deadly and needs to be banned you think they're would be more than 2 dead and 17 wounded. You'd think those numbers would be reversed.
The kind of people who give up their guns are not the same people you need to worry about. Additionally, "mass shooting" and "active shooter" are not the same thing.
The guns are a symptom of a more serious problem. Banning guns doesn't cure the disease. It's like taking a cough drop for a sore throat. It's only going to make you feel better for a little bit and won't treat the root cause.
I have multiple legally owned unregistered guns. Pass the laws but at the end of the day myself and millions of others will still be armed. I refuse to give up my weapon. Australian may have had success but that won't work in the US. The horse is already out of the barn.
You grossly underestimate how much ammo is out there and how easy it is to make
Gun buy backs only work if people consent
People are already advocating to just disarm trans people
Yeah I feel real privileged being disabled
Considering your response to such a benign comment, I'll match your energy "When this happens to you" My passive income will continue until the government collapses. Money won't be a thing if that happens " give me money or go away " I'd rob a bank before I'd resort to begging on the internet.
" I live in a high cost of living area" Or something along those lines would have been sufficient. I live in a major metropolitan area in the US but I can't fathom paying that much, that's why I asked.
I moved across the country and took on a mortgage without having a job waiting for me there. YMMV
Why so much? That's more than twice my mortgage
>people that have known mental health issues Allegedly the shooter was trans, a lot of people mistakenly think that transgender is a mental illness and will seek to disarm trans people as a result. Now do you think that's a good idea?
It's already illegal for criminals to have guns same for people who have been adjudicated mentally deficient. If you've ever bought a gun, you would know this, it's on the form.
Magic wand time โจ Sparkle โจ โ๏ธ poof โ๏ธ All guns are gone. Guess what? Next guy rents a big truck and drives it through a crowd. I guarantee it's going to be a lot more dead than we saw today too. If someone wants to hurt people, There's nothing you can do to stop them.
Or someone else with a gun.
Should be free and available to all. It'll go a lot further than an attempt to restrict or ban weapons that look scary.
>serious gun control What does that mean exactly? >availability of mental health care Now we're talking. That's the root of issue. That's the disease. The gun violence is the symptom. You don't treat an infection with a cough drop. All that's gonna do is it may make you feel better for a bit.
What specific legislation would have prevented this? Banning adjustable stocks and pistol grips? What about barrel shrouds?
My wife stopped an attempted rape with a firearm. Go tell her she didn't deserve to defend herself
They'll be just as effective as new gun legislation
Well? What's the solution?
At a time where fascism is happening in America this is not the time to surrender arms
You don't speak for everyone
And what will that do?
Got an original thought of your own or do you just parrot what you read?
That's NEVER going to happen
You're too old to be this stupid
I'm glad you're looking at the resources I recommended. I hope you get the help you need
I'm not sharing my ammo with strangers
Thanks for giving the anti gun crowd ammo Get help
I'm not taking 8hr of classroom instruction and paying hundreds of dollars to get one when I'm a former use of force instructor with the DOD.
>I don't have OC Maybe that's a problem you should fix If you're in a position to shoot a dog you should have pepper sprayed it first. I was a cop for years and never drew my weapon. Sounds like you'd be a shitty cop and should stick to delivering groceries, bro.
Be that as it may, at the end of the day it's output was generated by a machine. Whether you take a car or a train you still arrive at the same destination. It doesn't seem like anything to get worked up about.
You mean "traitor" do you not?
Ghost continues to kick ass. I just saw them in Denver for the 3rd time and I've been listening to them for about 7 years.
They'll have to take my corpse into custody and whoever picks up my weapon will burn their hand on it.
How is it different and why does it matter?
Agreed. But what about procedurally generated maps and levels? How is that any different than using AI?
Why the k?
That comes next though
Considering what republicans are up to these days the American people should abhor gun control and arm themselves and encourage their families and friends to do the same
You know one group of recidivists shooting at another is considered a "mass shooting" and not the same as an active shooter right?
If an off leash dog is charging at me and my dog, I will pepper spray it. If it continues I will shoot it.
What kind of legislation would have prevented this when multiple laws were broken to get here?
"sensible/common sense gun gun control" is mindless parroting of buzzwords that don't mean anything
Yeah that's exactly what I thought
You're talking about the genocide in Gaza aren't you?
So you just parrot buzzwords
I told my parents I'll never ask for money from them unless I give them a keyword
Still vague
Oh you mean Heller vs. DC? What did the NRA have to do with that? How will prohibiting pistol grips, barrel shrouds and adjustable stocks prevent that? Additional question, What will?
Allow me to explain as if to a child, Gun control won't disarm people
My the point of my statement was if someone is motivated to hurt other people, there's not a whole lot you can do to stop them. Homie didn't need a gun to blow poor Shinzos head off.
" The dangers of gun ownership" Just wait until you hear about automobiles!
" Don't forget sensible gun control" People just say that as a buzzword and refuse to elaborate on what that means.
In California already had some of the strictest gun laws in the country. What do you mean by "common Sense?"
Good thing I have multiple legally owned firearms that are not registered to me
My gun just sits quietly on my nightstand and doesn't say anything.
Japan has a better culture than the United States does. Based on honor and respect. Guns have nothing to do with it. Ask Shinzo Abe how that gun control worked out for him.
