Yeah all the talk about it recently made me have a glass lol

I hadn't in a while

So i thought why not

no big deal, i had some yesterday while we were talking

ye ye

how did you end up feeling after that bottle? @radeon

did it ever hit you?

Yep

I feel it

I had a little over half

Much better than the other night

of course, it's almost double the alcohol content

The passage of time has become all but inperceptable

For the most part I'm just dizzy

you dont have the spins do you?

the spins come before the puke

No

Why have none of the gun control kids asked for murder to be made illegal?

Surely if we outlaw murders, that will stop people who ignore laws from killing people.

Their reply is "should we make murder legal then?"

My reply is, murder is an action, guns are an object.

Guns are not only used for murder

But murder is only murder

I think the gun debate ultimately comes down to the question of what is more important, freedom or human lives. But funnily enough, that argument only comes up around guns. No one is saying we should give up the freedom of fast transportation by getting rid of cars, even though that would save lives. Or if you've ever seen those stickers on the sides of buckets that warn of the possibility that a baby can drown in it. If it can save the life of one person, why not ban buckets? Do people value buckets more than babies? Next time you see someone using a bucket, tell them that they don't care about dead kids.

the issue with your premise is that there isn't data supporting a drop in homicides due to gun bans, only homicides by gun.

But guns protect human lives and there isn't much to support that reducing them reduces homicides

exactly. but to be fair, given your premise ddog, the rest of what you said is still irrelevant, because none of those things were designed with the sole purpose to hurt or kill.

The countries in the world with the highest homicide by firearm stats are also countries with some of the lower ownership of firearms.

and in countries that heavily restricted firearms, like Australia for example, home invasions and robberies dramatically rose after the laws changed and were announced to everyone in the papers

Because criminals read the change as "Cool, now no one can legally own a gun to defend themselves or their home anymore"

no guns to protect the house? good, i'm coming in with a few knives to fuck your shit up

The thing is criminals still came into those houses with guns

because they don't give a fuck about handing in their guns to the government lol

oh i'm sure

what's stopping them?

The only people who handed in guns were law abiding citizens, the type of people who aren't even committing the violent crimes in the first place lol

The only people who should have the guns to defend themselves

also off topic but is it possible to change your user color? im sick of being the same color as the background

you get different colors by achieving different roles

which comes by your post count

oh shit ok
