"You care about occasional school shootings, but whaddabout youths in Chicago killing each other every day!!!"

BTW, those were modified handguns with extended mags.

Ok that’s a good point Rob. I will have to consider. I think that anyone in society that supports the military industrial complex we have is a Barbaric warrior.

I don’t see it as a side thing. I am a far left person and don’t have much in common with the right.

Jesus Christ dude, this is dark as hell.

You know which countries I'm talking about, come on...

Haha, you have some quite unique political views. Somehow a mix of socialist, libertarian, anarchist.

He is like a non-partisan Dr. Frankenstein. He took some of the worst views from across the political spectrum and mashed them together into some sort of monster.

Ooh, so edgy.

Read it and weep nerds. The court is finally being required (again) to follow the constitution. Illegal bans are illegal

“If this ban is illegal then all gun bans are illegal”

Yea no ****.

Haha, I would say some of the best!

Providing for citizens ( bad idea?)

-free healthcare
-free UBi
-free housing
-free food
-free education
-free guns
-free training
-free gym
-free universities


Guarantee you we reduce crime and gun violence by doing the above. But both sides will say it’s too expensive while ignoring that many social programs benefit the economy by over a dollar for every dollar given away.

Same. Which is why I find the gun thing so weird. Pretty on point with a lot of other things, pretty irrational with the gun thing.

you forgot your idea for a government supplied girlfriend/boyfriend

Except for the part where he said he would endorse Ron Paul or Vermin Supreme for president.

You forgot that’s a basic part of health care

How would this be implemented?

That's where the 'free guns' part comes in

Good point. Obviously spoils of war in a barbaric warrior society.

Eh, probably most people think that they just won't say it.

Some portion of the population definitely does, I don’t know about most. Doesn’t make disregard for lives of children any less dark though.

Apart from that, again it makes perfect sense for most people to care more about violence that has a much larger chance to hurt them or their families.

I don't get how some here think that is some kind of gotcha, and none of them seem to be explaining why they think it is.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being more motivated to stop violence that affects you personally but there’s a big gap between that and thinking it’s a positive if children who happen to be in a gang are killed. That’s well beyond assigning a lower priority or even indifference to violence that doesn’t affect you.

I would agree, if the bolded was actually a thing.

So you want to entirely discount circumstances that people are born into or the decision making ability of children for that matter?

I assume when you say "free" you mean "rich people pay for", but please correct me if I'm wrong.

LOL at saying forcing rich people to pay for edu, food, housing, income and healthcare will be good for an economy. The percent of people working in our society would plummet within a month and the economy would suffer. I think suggesting that drastically reducing the incentive to work (as described above) is good for an economy is dumber than saying it would reduce crime, but it is close.

govt pays women to sleep with men.

children in gangs are victims of the adults in gangs who are often victims of the adults in prison.
I mean the govt pays for via fair taxes for all. Not income taxes, but all govt fees/fines/levies/taxes/bills.

You don't need everyone to work to be successful. In a very strong country 75% can carry the 25% that cant work. I don't want people to work to survive, I want people to be incentivized to be in the best career for them which will lead to a country that is far more effective AND efficient than your proposition.

Would you rather have a population that can grow their mind body and soul AND then work, or a society that must work first AND then is allowed to consider their mind body and soul. Mind you we live in a country that has enough resources to support the poor, we just choose not to.
