When we ban guns in the US

[Ksandra]

None of you, none of the people clamoring give a shit enough to step outside of your comfort zone (Daily life and expected comforts within; water comes out of the faucet, TV turns on, car moves, food is at the store) to stand up.

How's that imaginary world working out for you?


[edit] and you're right, I never said my comment was in regards to your initial post. But this thread got derailed into who's dick is smaller, and it irritates me.

GUNCEPTION

My hollowpoint image vanished rather quickly...

[Churchill]

So what you're saying is that you don't understand human psychology?

Obama cares more about American youngsters than middle eastern youngsters for the same reason that most of us would care more about losing a sibling than about the genocide in north and central Africa

Is it great to think about? Of course not, but dwelling on it as if it were Obama's fault is pretty stupid

I addressed my concerns for human psychology in my original post. The idea is not that Obama is at fault, or Obama anything really, it's that humans are shortsighted (as is human nature). This is an idea that I don't come to terms with easily, like knowing that pizza is bad for me and eating it every friday regardless of that knowledge.

[hey]

Btw, karasu, clean those smudges off your monitor.

I don't understand your point, then. It's disappointing in reflection, but it isn't something we can rise above, either

[Churchill]

I see proper trigger discipline in every picture.

Also, I posted mine because we had the same gun and I was reminded of my favorite conservative talking head steven colbert

I don't see why not. Having faith in people and looking at the future is something that has to be changed as a society, sure, but it isn't like our current society doesn't encourage the exact opposite and the results are easy to see.

In one grander sense, the world has become more interconnected than ever and is far more isolated than it ever was.

Will do.

Ignoring the fact that the original intent of the topic was to hi-lite that none of you, none of the people clamoring, give a shit enough to say "WAIT a second" when a man who explicitly has ordered the deaths of children sheds a tear on national TV. None of you, none of the people clamoring give a shit enough to step outside of your comfort zone (Daily life and expected comforts within; water comes out of the faucet, TV turns on, car moves, food is at the store) to stand up.

That is the reality, and as such you are absolutely right - there no longer is a need for the second amendment because it is has been forfeit.

Edit: And I am by no means calling for an armed revolution, but the apathy disgusts me.

There hasn't been a need for the 2nd amendment since our government gained the ability to destroy the entirety of the world several hundred times over. Just sayin'.

More on topic, I agree with your sentiment. Obama is a hypocrite. Unfortunately, I can't muster any outrage for kids getting blown up every other day. All my outrage is wasted on the fact that we live in a world where several countries could decide to make the entire planet permanently uninhabitable for all life, several hundred times over. Humanity is too goddamn obsessed with the ability to destroy, in my humble opinion. The people showing off their guns prove the point well enough, on a small scale.

Little interest in encouraging this tangent, because it's about as "this is how I feel and this is how you feel" as a topic can get, but conceptualizing a world where this isn't the case is about as difficult as trying to close my eyes and visualize "nothing"

I don't like it, I wish there were a way we could turn it off, but I don't see it happening. As such, I don't see the point in dwelling on the negative side of it. Could it be the subject of study? Absolutely. I definitely encourage further research into how/why our minds do certain things. All the same, I don't think calling for an impractical psychological revolution is warranted or productive

Edit: or emotionally healthy for you to be disgusted by, for that matter. I think you'd do your mind a huge service by giving it a little less attention, but that's just me

Yet I was one of those people.

[hey]

Will do.

Thanks.

Showed off the point that what, they have guns and know what they're talking about and you only know what 5 minutes of googling can?

The thread "derailed" into those pictures because you were such a dumbass that you were treated like a common troll.

A trolley is hurtling down a track towards five people. You are on a bridge under which it will pass, and you can stop it by dropping a heavy weight in front of it. As it happens, there is a very fat man next to you – your only way to stop the trolley is to push him over the bridge and onto the track, killing him to save five.

Spoiler: show

Kill the fatty.

The idea that someone must have firsthand experience of something to be able to have an informed opinion is blatantly retarded. I did not form my opinions on guns overnight. I was wrong on one or two instances, and conceded points when more evidence was presented to me (or I found some on my own). What more is expected of a person? I will not simply bow my head and acknowledge someone as being correct unless they put forth some kind of argument or evidence that they are correct.

Is the whos dick is smaller thing because of the pictures of handguns? I really hate saying this but out of my group of friends: my friend who owns the most firearms, as well as the largest firearms i.e. Assault Rifles and shit has the largest dick out of all of us. It's like that family guy episode lol.

Unless you were referring to something else entirely <3 Cause it's late and I probably missed it.

Good thing I never outright said that. My use of the word "and" separates the ideas, but I'll let you have your semantics.

I did not form my opinions on guns overnight.

Based on what you've shown so far in this thread, forming your opinions overnight is giving you too much time.

What more is expected of a person?

I'd probably guess something like not using the people who demonstrated your wrongness as examples of power/destruction hungry human beings.

All I know is my penis appears smaller because it has a collapsible stock. I assure you its the real deal and not some bang-up SBR.

I like to destroy paper targets at the range.

[chazzyphizzle]

just pointing out the family guy episode insinuated everyone in the NRA had tiny dicks, not huge. so it is not just like that family guy episode unless there is another one i am unfamiliar with
