I find that the four horsemen work better than guns. torture is beautiful.
I site the fact that the four horseman have not already arrived as proof positive that there is no diety. Any self respecting God would have put us out of misery decades ago.

That's the sandbox god, a deity which is fundamentally self-contradictory. The deist god, on the other hand, may simply be allowing us to learn our lesson. Unlike the sandbox god, the deist god is not "love and forgiveness" and all that cheese-ass horseshit. It gave us all the tools we need to be good to each other, and it's on us that we haven't mastered those toold of logic and compassion.
yes but at some point you have to give it up as a lost cause, and honestly imo the human race is long past that point.

I'd actually offer that it's a fatalistic attitude like that one, ironically, that's part of the problem. Giving up on the importance of ethics is actually why we've become so unethical, as a culture.

Figure out what causes a society to have an disproportional amount of mass shootings in comparison to the rest of the world, find a solution to correct that and stop focusing on the tools used in them which is the least important aspect.

If it were even possible to confiscate all firearms in America, or to reduce the numbers of them to where it would be of any significance, that still does not address the most critical factor . . . Why?

Who knows? Maybe the answer is, "Because my butt."

If you're hearing that, you're hearing hot garbage spewed by people trying to sculpt trends, not people reporting trends.

I always carry a 9mm.

Have a 12 gauge in the house with 00buck waiting for anyone that wants to come through the door. Police do not stop crime they just show up after the fact to take a report.

Got my 12ga pump under the edge of the bed as we speak. My second favorite sound is the sound of a pump shotgun being cycled. 1st favorite? Hearing the BMG 50 bolt rack. God that's orgasmic!

Violence is inherent in the human identity. That's the reason gun controlled Chicago is out of control when it comes to crimes involving guns that are theoretically not supposed to be there.

We humans are an apex predator species, which means that a lot of what we prey on is... other humans. Particularly the ones who can't fight back. That's why most mass shootings take place in "gun free" schools rather than at police stations.
I thought schools get shot up because it was the source of the shooters angst, bullying, popular kids that made them feel inadequate, could be the gun free part though .

Or it could be something like this...

Guns are good for women, if somebody tries to rape you just put the barrel of your gun in their ass. If they resist, shoot them up the asshole.

Sex is overrated and I cook my own fucking food. Now what? Police everywhere? And? They don't prevent crime. They respond to it. They're not there to protect you or anyone else. Lmfao. Are you really that ignorant?

So you're just encountering a feminist for the very first time, I take it.

EDIT: I should amend that. There are different kinds of feminists. First wave? 100% agree with them. Second wave? Eh... touch more sketchy, but on most things, okay. Third wave? Fuck outta here. They're not even feminists, just neo-Marxists and misandrists. Fuck 'em. Metaphorically. Don't actually have sex with them under any circumstances.

I own many guns. All are locked in a gun safe. I do not carry, nor do I want to. I do not believe personally that a gun is the best means of home defense, but do not try to keep others from doing so. I find the belief that "the police will protect me" absurd. Very seldom do the police prevent crime from happening or stop one in progress. I also find it completely insane to believe that taking guns away from law abiding citizens will prevent crime. I and many of my friends have owned multiple guns for many years and not a single one has ever been used in the commission of a crime. What good will taking our guns away do toward preventing crimes that never occurred anyway?

I also have 2 friends who bought AR-15's simply because they believed Obama was going to get laws passed confiscating them. That impressed me as being pretty weird too.

I lived in Chicago for awhile, and have lived in the area for 25 years. It has always pissed me off that the MSM blames Chicago's crime and murder levels on guns, and not on the shitbags committing the crimes and murders.

Out of control.
Take the guns and rowdy gunowners to an internment type facility to desensitize them. Its an infatuation is all and its out of control!
Some people are out of control and will kill you without a second thought. I don't like the thought of having to shoot someone either but if it's to save your life or someone else's you don't have a choice.
