hopefully RP will close some tabs, so he can see this thread and respond

This thread is slow for some reason, maybe because we have more than one off topic thread. We need to close a tab.

i'm not even a huge pro-gun guy(i don't even own a firearm) but it's like the anti-gun guys want to take the stance that inflicting restrictive, authoritarian rules on a largely law-abiding society where an absurdly small percentage of the population abuses their rights to own a weapon will somehow have a trickle-down effect whereupon laws and rules for people who do follow them will become a hindrance for people that don't. Just like how we've banned alcohol and drugs, right?

Why is that places where it's much harder to get guns like Canada and Europe have so many less gun deaths then? Anti-gun legislation works, it's a proven fact.

Of course it's not going to wipe anything out and it will still happen. But restricting the movement of guns is a good thing no matter how you frame the argument (unless it's 18th century America where you needed to organize into militias to fight the British).

Had a procedure on my eyelid done today. Something about needles in your upper eyelid that just sucks.

There's simply no talking about guns. Anyone who even mentions background checks or restrictions is labeled anti-Constitution.

I'm thinking about getting Lasik. Contacts annoy the hell outta me. But I saw that they use a small blade to peel back the cornea after they cut it with a laser. Kind of freaked me out.

well for many reasons but you simply can't compare them apples to apples.

but you're right. the more pressing question is why is our society producing people that commit these abhorrent acts and what are we doing/what can we do to fix THAT?

 

[damacles1156]

Guns will always be a hot topic.

I believe that law abiding citizens should be allowed to carry a firearm for protection. That's just a personal opinion.

I carry a firearm daily, also on trips out of state(If the state I am visiting allows carry).

 

[Reclamation Project]

I don't really even focus on guns to be honest. I'm more worried about parenting and the mental healthcare system.

 

[damacles1156]

Parenting has seemed to slipped lately. I try to hire young people all the time, but they lack all kinds of basic skills.

IE: Show up on time, shower, shave, don't have a million tattoos ETC. So hard to find good young people, that can use critical thinking skills, and solve problems.

Medical Marijuana can cure that. It cures anything.
