The majority of crazy men come from the majority racial population? Really makes you thunk

🤔

The funny thing is they give you enough statistics to show that whites commit less than their share of population

But they cut the population # in half bc "white men"

The most retarded/dishonest manipulation of statistics I've seen

The fact that his skin color is in the headline, is shitty enough

Plus, get ready for the "white men is the devil" articles

We already got a fire hose on that

I want to collect some of that shit for a meta-news type project that shows the narratives of media over time

It would be a good idea

Historians can look back and say "oh that's why there was a civil war"

Also, would be better if you did that with politicians, since usa have a 2 party system would be interesting to see their narrative throughout the years

Public statements could be cataloged but they are more difficult to deconstruct many times

It ok to demonize white men in the news.

With inverted pyramid stories, the theses are very explicitly laid out

It's more than okay

Weren't the Dems the more pro-segregation party decades back or was that just a meme people made up?

It's your journalistic duty

That's why I'm saying it

People paint the party thing both ways

I can't think of this shit culminating in any way other than banning white males

From what?

Progressivism

I think that would be far enough to make the racism apparent

I guess it could be done by degrees

Probably more advantageous to keep them as second-class members

@OppoQuinn the Democratic Party of the south. Yes. The Republican Party used to be the northern progressive one.

American gun culture is unhindet

i love muh gunz

is what?

muh freedom

and muh constitution

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_the_Czech_Republic

@franti what is unhindet

unhinged sorry typo

also that shop looks really bad security-wise

lol how?

to be perfectly fair if you are not an american or you've never been to america you've got literally no idea how our gun culture works

and its not that outside observers can't be accurate its that you will never ever ever see a fair portrayal of american gun culture anywhere outside of the US

Dude there is a gun culture problem in the US

i mean even in the US the myth that we don't do background checks is still common

99% of everything you are told about us is a lie

I live in gun centric america

show me the problem

There is a crime problem in America

is probally more accurate

first define what "gun culture" even is

a "newsworthy" crime problem

Its like when people say rape culture

its not like gun owners live in camps like lepers on the outskirts of town we're regular people everywhere

a subset of the larger population not exterior to it

Then why do you have all those school and church shootings?

several reasons

the biggest factor is the fucking media

You should really be asking why there's so much violent knife crime

Seeing as it's waaaaay higher

Mass knifing?

think about it, if youre a lonely deranged asshole the quickest, easiest way to get your face plastered onto every TV in america for a week straight is to shoot up someplace

You are saying gun = knife?

both are weapons

One's a tool.

Both are tools

A gun is not a tool. It has one purpose.

That's the difference between gun owners and non owners

its purpose is decided by the person using it.

a device or implement, especially one held in the hand, used to carry out a particular function

hmmmm

to think that the manufacturers intended purpose is in any way relevant is ridiculous

A hammer is as much a tool or weapon as a gun

Or even...A sickle

So in what way can you use a gun then?

how about recreational shooting since thats 99% of the ammunition expended in the US

Currently there is an epidemic of wild pigs in the central US

why do effectively nonlethal calibers like .22LR wildly outsell large bore calibers?

Because squirrels ruin our birdfeeders

most people own guns exclusively for recreation

So you're undermining your own point by making a different statement.

or hunting, or defense

Hunting and defense are both using the gun for killing.

Gheto safaris?

yes but thats like saying we should ban fire extinguishers to prevent fires.

No, it's not. Not even close.

Why is having a gun for home defense a bad thing then?

I never made that statement.

Having a gun or having an arsenal

your argument hinges on guns being used "for killing" and that somehow justifies banning them despiute the non sequitur

I never made that statement either.

the number of guns is literally irrelevant

if you're safe and responsibe with one gun you will continue being safe and responsible with a stockpile of them

It makes theft easier

lol how?

Need to commit only one burglary

do gunsafes not exist in your country? I can buy them at fucking costco.

You made the, apologise the rudeness, but. Retarded statement that a gun can be used as a tool. Which it cannot.
Comparing them to knives, which are tools. Is not the same comparison.
If you're comparing them to swords? Sure. Then we can compare it.

I never made any statement on whether guns should be banned or not.

if I use a shotgun with blanks to run a boat-to-boat line charge is it still a weapon?

Break ins occur far less frequently in areas where more people illegally own guns

Am I seeing an underlying "NAP of animals" thing in play here?

You just made that implication because you're trying to defend guns using retarded logic that you cannot see your own faulty arguements.

In the medieval era, was a sword a weapon exclusively?

whether or not guns are weapons - btw legally, anything used to assault someone is a weapon - isn't important

You could make the argument that a gun is tool for killing

Yes it was Jek. A knife wasn't. A sword was.

even so, what is your point?

Did people not use the blade to cut things in the field?

at which point does a bladed weapon stop being a weapon then?

Different countries have different laws on this.

what is the distinction?

12 cm

Length of blade, concealment, etc.

In mine

no you've already ignored the laws

im talking logically

im not interested in whatever obligatory number the bureaucrats have decided to set

You haven't lived in the American West, so I can understand why you wouldn't acknowledge that a gun can be a tool

It varies. There's no one answer.
But you can compare all the numbers and use the common denominator if you want.

It's about perception

lmao so we should just average up all the EU's draconian knife laws for the one true answer? what a laugh.

In America, to legal gun owners, a gun is at the same time a weapon, a tool, and a recreational implement.

heres a super easy fix: stop treating people like they don't have individual agency.

In Switzerland it's legal to own guns.
Guns are not considered tools.

I literally dont care what switzerland does

i think you've just invented argumentum ad europa

I mean we're statistically more civilised.

lmao sure my dude

That was uncalled for

i couldnt resist

RESIST

a cave-dwelling american troglodyte like myself cannot possibly comprehend the technological and societal bliss that is europe

and their Muslim no go zones

And rape gangs

Either way, Jek. No one is trying to tell you you shouldn't have guns.
But for the love of sense. Stop trying to defend "A gun is a tool"

Because that's literally retarded.

A gun is a tool

*sighs*

👌

A gun is a tool

like literally lets define what a weapon is

My fridge is fully stocked with deer meat that I hunted.

I used the gun as a tool to feed my family

a weapon is any implement used to assault a person or animal, can we agree to that definition?

a rubber mallet is absolutely a weapon if you start attacking people with it, you can't logically deny that

nothing is intrinsicly assaulting people

It can be used *as* a weapon. But it isn't inherently a weapon.

THANK YOU

now we've come to some clarity

As if that somehow proves your point, but go on.

nothing is a weapon by default, it can only be *used* as a weapon

Things made for killing are weapons by default.

I have a czech military surplus rifle easily capable of downing 20 men, but the most fearsome thing i've ever shot with it is a pumpkin

it is not a weapon

Is a shotgun that fires bean bags a weapon?

not in the strictest sense

You're trying to argue that because you don't use your sword to cut down people it was never made for cutting down people to begin with.

the point is that there is no logical distinction between weapon and non-weapon

There is.

What about an ornamental sword?

It's not made for usage at all

Most kitchen knives are made to cut meat but not necessarily cleave through a man.
A cleaver is made to cleave the bone in meat on a table but it's horrible to try to cleave down an actual person. For that you have *larger* and generally sharper *weapons* made.

so if I kill somebody with, say, a benchrest gun, its a rifle that is used exclusively for high-accuracy target shooting and can't even be weilded as its literally bolted to a table, is it not a weapon?

Also generally known as. Here it comes. Swords.

Swords are weapons.

Guns are made for killing, they're inherently weapons.

ugh

that statement is factually untrue

I can name you several dozen guns clearly not designed for lethal use

What about a target pistol made specifically for competitive shooting?

Literally designed from the blueprint to be used in competition

Using an unicorn to disprove a trend

flare pistols, line guns, bench rifles, etc etc etc

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/31RKPt0VTlL._SX355_.jpg

Are those the majority of guns?

They're a subset, and certainly not one-off

no, but nevertheless they are guns which are not weapons

And flare pistolf have a designated use

But you said pistol

lol actually no

Which is a gun

i have a 37mm flaregun I use an adapter for to shoot shotgun shells

intended use be damned

Oh snap

You're literally not helping your cause here mate.

Your logic is so far out of the window it's not even funny.

What about potato guns?

my point is that even if you make the absurd statement that guns can even be intrinsicly weapons, that not all guns *are* weapons, but even those can be used outside of their intended purpose

Made out of pvc and compressed air

UK banned katanas, right? That sure stopped the increase of criminal samurais.

If this is still going on after my midterm I will gladly jump in.

its because intended purpose is completely meaningless

Should pvc pipe be regulated?

Also air?

i guarantee you that if there were a potato gun attack in the UK they would start doing ID checks for hairspray and piping.

And regulate the sale of potatoes.

You have carry your ID always so that is a moot point

"Sir, are you licensed to buy those vegetables?

because they're a bunch of eurotrash draconian busybodies who think they can ban everything they don't like out of existence

And you can make bombs from fertilizers

i love how you're literally defending random ID checks

nah I think it's just a difference of perception

I can't wait for the EU police of vice and virtue checking ID's at checkpoints and confiscating potatoes

Random ID checks. What is wnong with them?

does the word Gestapo have a meaning to you?

Just to jump in quickly before my midterm, all weapons were designed as tools first. Spears were used to hunt by early humans, became used for war because it's a convent second use.

Does the word hyperbole have a meaning to you?

i gtg

ya'll are being weaponist right now

NOT ALL WEAPONS

man europe really is going down the shitter if this is the line of thought

Yeah Radeon you might be jumping the shark a bit

I obviously wasn't being serious

the phrase euro-cucked exists for a reason
