(I apologize; English is not my first language.)

2018-02-16 22:52:20 UTC

recreational gun ownership is the same as "hunter" for me... basically the same regulations for both

2018-02-16 22:52:44 UTC

You're moving goal posts...

2018-02-16 22:52:52 UTC

not really

2018-02-16 22:52:59 UTC

And @Miss Direction IIRC it's an EU human right to have access to the internet

2018-02-16 22:53:22 UTC

Why?

2018-02-16 22:53:45 UTC

I just think it's more complicated than that, especially in the United States. There are plenty of areas in the US where it is not uncommon to be miles away from the nearest telephone pole, much less being within a reasonable response time to a police station or sheriff's office.

2018-02-16 22:53:50 UTC

Because most north/west EU countries have basically fully digitized their government communication

2018-02-16 22:54:18 UTC

hunter/sportsschiessen: heavily regulated where you are allowed to use your guns, what guns you can use and even how you can use your guns.

2018-02-16 22:54:26 UTC

And in a lot of the major cities, there *is* very strict gun control, if not outright bans.

2018-02-16 22:54:44 UTC

I depart. Good luck, all.

2018-02-16 22:55:22 UTC

Yes, but you at first just said hunter. When I pointed out that isn't true, you suddenly changed that to hunter 'also means recreational shooting'

2018-02-16 22:56:49 UTC

to me hunting is recreational shooting

2018-02-16 22:57:07 UTC

but you are right that there IS a destinction in the law

2018-02-16 23:30:27 UTC

Here is a problem, in the us, with at least some instances. There are several laws already in place that are not enforced as well as the should be. Yet the solution proposed is to add more to it? In Florida, it seems literally everyone knew this was a very real possibility with this kid
The FBI even knew but couldn't get him on anything. Banning assault weapons doesn't really fix it. Or more accurately is like having a hammer and treating everything like a nail. Why ban all cars, for example, when you knew a person was very likely going to use a car to commit a terror act. Why not find where they should have been able get them, and add a small piece of legislation there, rather than punish all the law abiding companies and citizens for the action of a minority.

2018-02-16 23:31:58 UTC

why should anyone give a sliver of their rights up to stopgap something that may or may not do anything long term?

2018-02-16 23:32:51 UTC

In the grand scheme of things, you cannot reasonably stop people who lose their shit from doing anything.

2018-02-16 23:33:05 UTC

You ban guns and they run around with cars or swords or make explosives

2018-02-16 23:33:12 UTC

we cannot un-learn these things

2018-02-16 23:33:27 UTC

NICS should have a bit more of a handle on things

2018-02-16 23:33:49 UTC

but in this shooter's case; really I'm not sure that the feds should have been able to do anything

2018-02-16 23:34:00 UTC

maybe the teachers could have actually been armed?

2018-02-16 23:35:38 UTC

As much as I might dislike that kids were shot and killed; it's honestly probably not possible to actually predict and 100% stop nutjobs like this

2018-02-16 23:35:57 UTC

Arming teachers and having armed security is a very logical thing to do.

2018-02-16 23:36:02 UTC

short of infringing rights significantly

2018-02-16 23:36:22 UTC

Well, I'm not suggesting arming them per-se, but allowing them to do so would be nice

2018-02-16 23:36:43 UTC

Giving them the ability to be armed yes.

2018-02-16 23:36:51 UTC

Donโ€™t have to force them.

2018-02-16 23:37:19 UTC

In that case, you're removing at least one penal code from the state

2018-02-16 23:37:32 UTC

so I has no issue

2018-02-16 23:39:11 UTC

It sounds fucked up to say, but I am more OK with random spurious lunatics losing it than I am with giving up the rights enumerated in the constitution of the US

2018-02-16 23:39:23 UTC

I'd of course, rather they be stopped

2018-02-16 23:39:35 UTC

but I don't want to go down the thoughtcrime path

2018-02-16 23:39:37 UTC

Where I live we have security guards at all schools, some teachers have personal weapons, and in general lots of people walk around with military grade weapons (which are allowed in schools). Canโ€™t recall ever having a school shooting so guns arenโ€™t the problem.

2018-02-16 23:40:06 UTC

Yeah, there are like a handful of states/municipalities that allow it afaik

2018-02-16 23:40:24 UTC

Here in the social justice capital of the united states however, that's a big nono

2018-02-16 23:41:14 UTC

Frisco?

2018-02-16 23:41:15 UTC

The problem with armed security is the cost

2018-02-16 23:41:36 UTC

And that in public schools it would be taxpayers money

2018-02-16 23:42:02 UTC

Better to spend it on security than stupid social programs.

2018-02-16 23:42:10 UTC

Bray areayylmao only

2018-02-16 23:42:14 UTC

not SF

2018-02-16 23:42:18 UTC

(Thankfully)

2018-02-16 23:42:50 UTC

Just cut wasteful expenses and start funding security (also creates new jobs).

2018-02-16 23:43:18 UTC

actually most campuses already have security

2018-02-16 23:43:33 UTC

But really, I think one gaurd and only the main entrance unlocked to the outside might have helped. If there was a button that trigger an internal lockdown and the procedure of "if you see a person with a fucking long gun, press button first ask questions later", it might have helped some

2018-02-16 23:43:37 UTC

they just aren't armed at all

2018-02-16 23:44:01 UTC

Security might as well not be security if they arenโ€™t armed.

2018-02-16 23:44:08 UTC

red alert button might be good but

2018-02-16 23:44:16 UTC

I dunno how effective it'll be

2018-02-16 23:44:33 UTC

Everyone armed to the teeth

2018-02-16 23:44:37 UTC

students, teachers

2018-02-16 23:44:40 UTC

janitors

2018-02-16 23:44:43 UTC

Well, it's better than letting a dude pull a fire alarm and wait for his victims to come running

2018-02-16 23:44:51 UTC

the principal with a deagle brand deagle

2018-02-16 23:44:58 UTC

A nun that happened to be there

2018-02-16 23:45:07 UTC

I still question how a dude with a long gun gets into a school unnoticed

2018-02-16 23:45:25 UTC

Can take it apart and put it into a bag.

2018-02-16 23:45:38 UTC

Then assemble in the bathroom or something.

2018-02-16 23:46:34 UTC

Did he actually have a standard non-sbr upper?

2018-02-16 23:46:41 UTC

I have not seen dick pix

2018-02-16 23:47:30 UTC

Because he could have just bought a 11.4 or 10" upper and illegally slapped it on his rifle lower

2018-02-16 23:47:40 UTC

it's not like those components are restricted

2018-02-17 13:54:24 UTC

"Dutch Intelligence and Security Services Act referendum 2018"
(Tapping Law to give General Intelligence and Security Service sweeping surveillance powers)
https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Dutch_Intelligence_and_Security_Services_Act_referendum,_2018
"Although a referendum will be held, the government has indicated it plans for the law to nevertheless to go into effect on 1 May 2018."

2018-02-17 14:04:48 UTC

Yeah, they basically openly stated that the result of the referendum doesn't matter, they'll ignore any 'no' result.

2018-02-17 14:06:21 UTC

Yeah, they already know the majority of people are against this. They know the people will vote "incorrectly".

2018-02-17 14:07:55 UTC

This law will allow people's devices to be hacked, but also those of friends, relatives, family etc.

2018-02-17 14:10:09 UTC

They will also be allowed to tap ALL internet traffic, request information from any company or governmental databases and exchange this info with other secret services.

2018-02-17 14:11:21 UTC

Basically, it's about mass surveillance.

2018-02-17 18:42:22 UTC

Ooof

2018-02-17 20:51:04 UTC

am I going crazy or was there a new Tim Pool video on youtube that is now not available anymore?

2018-02-17 20:51:34 UTC

He probably accidentally uploaded to public

2018-02-17 20:51:42 UTC

oh lol

2018-02-17 20:51:52 UTC

Itโ€™s the video from yesterday I think.

2018-02-17 20:51:52 UTC

It's 10 minutes short of his regular release time

2018-02-17 20:51:54 UTC

i thought i did see something with 4chan

2018-02-17 20:52:19 UTC

didnt watch it immediately tho and now its gone

2018-02-17 21:02:01 UTC

YouTube removed it and gave him a strike for "harassment."

2018-02-17 21:42:39 UTC

wow srsly?

2018-02-17 21:56:20 UTC

thx for the alternative upload link

2018-02-17 22:02:11 UTC

if things get crazy at the Damore event Tim will not be able to do a spontaneous live stream on his main channel

2018-02-18 00:11:42 UTC

Does tim ever actually use discord

2018-02-18 00:11:59 UTC

Iโ€™ve been in here since day one and Iโ€™ve only seen him active once

2018-02-18 00:14:40 UTC

I've seen him a few times

2018-02-18 00:14:42 UTC

But barely.

2018-02-18 02:07:23 UTC

You're welcome. Glad there's another way to view the video.

2018-02-18 05:00:52 UTC

Hes a busy man. But he did come in here occasionally.
