the same way previous gun laws got through

And then, instead of mass shootings, you'll have people running giant trucks into seas of people or blowing up buildings.

oh no we are just trying to keep guns out of the dangerous gangbangers hands we dont want them to have automatic weapons

Which are far more effective.

@Maw well the law is not about stopping domestic terrorism

@ImNotGas, you just advanced to level 16!

Oklahoma City Bomber

its about making people reliant on the state

for their safety

monopoly of violence

i bet the fbi is actually giddy with happiness when theres a domestic terrorist event they dont have to orchestrate

Not going to jump down that rabbit hole.

yeah i need to keep my bp under control lol

I think many agents are probably decent

but honestly it's just the banality of evil.

most are

*most are probably decent

its the nature of giant beurocracies

most bankers arent evil

the mission is atomized into 1000 parts nobody knows what they are participating in

Like, you can be a decent person, but if you go along with certain things, you're still going to be complicit as a driving element of a system that slowly strips peoples' freedoms away until you're manufacturing most of the crime you arrest people for, and are actually as a whole, acting as a force of evil to suppress the very thing you think you're protecting.

If the Will or Desire of a Person is to perform Evil. The mode or method is limitless. I can remember people poisoning Tylenol Bottles on Pharmacy Shelves....

Yeah but most dont even know what they are participating in

A really old one I know of is the ATF poisoning moonshine during prohibition.

a soldier thinks hes fighting for our country

he doesnt think we are destabilizing a nation to install a regime friendly to business interests that have powerful lobbying groups behind them

That's the job. They don't get a say in foreign policy, except through absentee ballots, which I'm hearing should be banned.

how long did it take you to find a way to force that in there?

I'm surprised it took at most 5 minutes. That's some pretty impressive mental gymnastics.

I'm pretty sure he's unhappy with what you said because he was in the military, like a lot of folks here.

weird youd think he'd appreciate i dont want to send him to war

No, but when you kind of make this broad assumption that he's not capable of realizing what he's doing is sort of... well, I could certainly understand if he thought it was insulting.

takes a few mental hoops imo

since im specificaly stating they go in with good intentions

unless he wants to destabilize foreign nations?

and hes mad i didnt think he was smart enough to do that?

I'm usually suspicious of statements that assume what someone thinks and more so if it is applied to a group or class of People?

weird guess ill stop giving people the benefit of the doubt

sorry I'll do better next time

Not meant as a Correction just merely a reflection of thought!
