Well, *that* saved the court system a lot of time

Honestly this is probably the most effective anti-gun propogenda i have ever seen

that's no game at all

2018-03-14 17:11:50 UTC  

horee shit, this kid is fun to watch, especially from about the five minute mark onwards

2018-03-14 17:14:13 UTC  

I'd really like to see more pushback against the 'the only thing you need a gun like that for is to kill people' or 'guns are designed to kill'

2018-03-14 17:14:18 UTC  

well derp.

2018-03-14 17:14:39 UTC  

law-abiding citizens can use them to kill people infringing upon their rights

2018-03-14 17:15:38 UTC  

you know, like the 500,000 - 3 million occurances of that nature as estimated by the CDC

2018-03-14 17:20:35 UTC  

"AR-15 firing a 100 bullets a minute"

2018-03-14 17:20:48 UTC  

🀣

2018-03-14 17:32:47 UTC  

I've seen the citation for that CDC line, that's from an optimistic study from 2001. A pessimistic study puts the number around 108k, though it's still quite a lot yearly for only having 17k all-cause total deaths as reported by the FBI

2018-03-14 21:44:14 UTC  

yeah, I've read it being as 'low' as 108k too

2018-03-15 02:59:42 UTC  

Ugh, just got in an argument with an art student friend of mine who basically believed all guns should be unilaterally be out of the general populace's hands. I made the self defense argument, and he had the following stance:

A situation where you would need to defend yourself is so rare, it doesn't outweigh all of the deaths from shootings / gun violence, and that you shouldn't be so paranoid. Is this what kids believe nowadays?

2018-03-15 03:00:17 UTC  

I'm not even a gun guy really, but believe it should be an option to those it matters to

2018-03-15 03:16:32 UTC  

But it's not rare. He's irrational.

2018-03-15 03:16:58 UTC  

It definitely outweights, yes, by sheer numbers.

Everyday you wear that gun, you look like an idiot, until the day you need it.

2018-03-15 10:55:32 UTC  

As we were discussing above, even the lowball number is 108,000 cases of self-defence using a firearm

2018-03-15 10:57:16 UTC  

So basically due to the spectacle of mass shootings totalling 20-60 deaths per year, we should void those other 108,000 instances

2018-03-15 11:59:13 UTC  

Meanwhile..

2018-03-15 11:59:14 UTC  

I was hoping for a Street Sweeper
