I think the fundamental issues with guns is that they SUBSTANTIALLY shorten the time and effort to put thoughts into action. Thinking "man, i want to kill everyone here." is a pretty abstract thought, until you actually have the means to kill everyone there right at hand.

You are maintaining this sandbox for everyone else to play in, you should just do it when its most convenient for you and let the rest of us just deal with the outage.

You were today years old when you first encountered sarcasm on the internet, apparently.

Most of these laws, and most of the historic gun control in the US, is really intended to be used to keep guns from the "wrong sort" of people, and that means leftists and brown people generally. Crazy white guys were never the target of any prior firearms legislation or enforcement mechanism. That's really the core of the problem here.

That's what they all do, even Trump.

Why are you still talking about the last two weeks when the entire point of this discussion was about what happened before October? Just say that you only discovered this issue two weeks ago if that is the case, which is getting to be pretty obvious if we are being honest here.

You want me to acknowledge that more missiles would have hit Israel in the last two weeks if Israel didn't shoot down those missiles? Yeah, no shit. Do you think that proves a point? Israel has very little to fear from Gaza, we already knew that.

How many Palestinians did the IDF kill in an average year before October?

The key point is that he was also recently institutionalized after making threats and SHOULD have had his guns seized, even under existing law.

You get that the history of Israeli and Palestinian relations goes back further than October of this year, right?

It looks like something RIGHT out of Robocop, which is funny because the stupid fucking cars was actually a point of satire in that movie.

Older ones do this too, its just this weird range of years where people tried to get clever with their turn signals.

I'm not even sure its legal in the US. The mixed brake lights are one thing, but even in the US they cannot be the ONLY form of brake light. And the idea of a "center light" being the normal tail light turning OFF and being replaced with a smaller light doesn't seem like it would meet even the relatively lax US DOT requirements.
