Honestly at this point NATO needs to call putins bluff and put boots on the ground, turn the russian military into fertilizer, and show china it's not fucking around. No sovereign nation should have the threat of invasion at some 2 cent dictator whim.
The 2nd isnt for hunting, I have a DE, it's a collection piece and comes out when people want to shot it. It's a completely waste of a gun. Its two big and way to heavy for anything daily carry. And no one I know carries one, hell I highly doubt anyone really carries one. They're not cheap either. And 50cal muzzleloader season is just fine for hunting, it seems most of you got your knowledge about 50cal from movies... it's a large round but it's not going to blow a deer apart.
And in a communist society, the candy belongs to everyone in the neighborhood, so they have to go around passing it out until it's equally distributed...
You're committee did, or if they didn't then they're just gov bosses over everyone since they dictate what people are worth. So you're back at capitalism...just with a voted in committee telling people their worth, or we're talking about a committee that dictates what people are going to do. Which is it?
I don't, you all do. The majority will always overrule the minority and you will have leadership that represents some but not all. Someone is going to get screwed always in your little utopia.
Yeah it's even worse...if you don't like your boss you have no option of moving to a different job to get rid of them. The same people you all hate in this government are the same people who will now be bossing you around.
NATO allies are inching closer to sending troops into Ukraine to train Ukrainian forces, a move that would be another blurring of a previous red line and could draw the United States and Europe more directly into the war....
Fuck that, call that shit stains bluff and put NATO boots on the ground and turn russias military into dust particles. The only way to stop the new nazis is to remove every semblance of them.
The fuck? Vets do much, much more than just euthanize animals. What do guns do other than shoot projectiles intended to kill?
Just using your silly logic...you know vets have captive bolt guns and suppressed firearms as well, does that make their tools pointless because they only kill?
How do guns defend without using the threat of violence? How do they act as a physical shield?
Same way a sword or knife can be used to kill and also defend, its a force multiplier.
Yes, it's possible to practice using tools designed specifically for killing. Cars are tools designed specifically for transport, and people have contests for driving those, too.
Glad you're grasping it
Why is it so hard for you to accept that guns are tools designed specifically for killing? That's literally just what they are.
Because I'm not the one that suggests magically thinking banning them all will make the world a safer place. Do you think the 100lb woman can defend against a 250lb man? Or what about minorities who are threated by a few racist fucks? Or an LGBTQ+ person who has a bunch of bigots trying to kill them? Should these people just not get a gun because it's designed to kill? What tool do you suggest they use?
This entire thread chain is in place to suggest that only guns which are designed to kill, should have their manufacturs liable for what other people do with the product. No other industry was brought up, just guns. Why? Because at the end of the day, you're all for complete bans, and no amount of "nuh uh, we're fine with hunting rifles" or whatever else bullshit, that's the end goal...you just try and sugar coat it so you can try and gain some support for the idea.
Naa that's literally the end goal. It's pointless to sugar coat it.
Because I'm not the one suggesting that companies be liable for what people do with their products. Way more people a year die from alcohol than guns (it's like a 3xs as many) and alcohol has no other purpose but a vice, yet you're probably not going to suggest that companies be liable for drunk drivers who kill people, nor are you going to suggest that they cover all the alcohol related health issues...are you.
Damn straight, if you ordered a sandwich in a restaurant and they brought you a burrito or taco.. you'd be really confused and a bit annoyed that you didn't get what you asked for.
Yea that's fucked what they did to her. I've had them bite me and it was just a few and on my legs, I can't imagine the pain having them attack your face.

I'm watching the systems that basically pull the water out of the air and use solar to convert it. Drop ship style systems like that could become basically the gas stations of today for tomorrows hydrogen cars.
Because they're not going to start a war. It's just chest beating from them. Shit has gotta get a lot lot worse for even the thought of a civil war to be seriously thought about. We're not even close to it, people are still fed, clothed, housed and they still have jobs and their TV's and entertainment...no one is starting a war.
Correct, no clue why I pointed this out and got downvoted but you say the same thing and get people agreeing with you...guess I should have kept with the "capitalism bad" circle jerk.
