  • No, I think you misunderstood, and want to turn a very important debate into a pedantic point about sheer ratios without wider context.

    Increased gun ownership has been repeatedly shown to increase gun violence. That's a fact. To say that it's "responsible" to increase or even maintain the levels of gun ownership is false.

    To say or imply that most gun ownership is responsible is like saying that most cigarette smoking is responsible...except when you consider every fucking horrible ill it wreaks upon society.

    You shouldn't run your mouth with false information that is so "very simple and scooped", because that misses the entire fucking point.

    Be less simple, simpleton.

  • I think you misunderstand.

    It's not important that many gun owners don't end up allowing their guns to be used to kill children. Your argument is miniscule, inconsequential, and not helpful to the sickness in the US society.

    It is important, tantamount, and very relevant that because the US has so many guns, that the leading cause of death to children are the guns.

    Idgaf about most gun owners, I care about reducing the number of children being killed.

    Why don't you care about reducing the number of children killed by guns?

  • The fact that the number one killer of children in the US is guns?

    You are asking me how that fact relates to responsible gun ownership?

    Think really hard about how those children were killed by those guns, and maybe you can figure it out.

    The children who died by guns are either:

    1. Killing themselves, meaning that an irresponsible gun owner gave that child access to a gun, either deliberately or not deliberately. Irresponsible!
    2. Being killed by the owner of the gun. This one should be self explanatory. It's irresponsible to use the gun you own to kill a child.
    3. Killed by someone with access to someone else's gun. Again, whoever owned this gun was irresponsible enough to allow their weapon to be accessed by someone else to kill children.

    You can't be this naive.

  • Assuming you mean the US:

    The highest number of gun violence deaths of any developed country 😂🤣🤣🤣

    The highest number of children killed as well 😂🤣🤣🤣

    The number one killer of children being guns 😂🤣🤣🤣

    Yeah, the numbers are definitely NOT in our favor 🤦

  • several contemporary documents all point to the existence of a guy named something like Joshua

    IIRC, there's really only a single mention of a possible link to someone of this name that was crucified at the supposed time, and that single mention happened at least 50 (maybe 100?) years later, and there's evidence that this passage was added even later.

    So I didn't think it's true that there are "several contemporary documents" like you claimed...

  • You're getting down voted, but you are mostly correct.

    I feel like the amount of ads and/or length is a little excess these days, though.

    The thing is, Google isn't dumb. They've user tested this strategy and they know it results in higher revenue.

    And the enshitification continues...for those that don't pay

  • As a fellow former Texas resident, I can confirm and endorse this statement.

    The Texas government can fuck alllll the way off with that...and many other things cough cough women's rights cough cough

  • Bruh, when I say something along the lines of "what people usually make in this position for cases of this magnitude", it literally begs to be compared to "OTHER" cases.

    Comparing the lead prosecutors salary to supporting prosecutors salaries means very little in that context.

    It's like me saying "CEOs in this industry tend to make a lot more than this CEO was making" and then you saying " This CEO was making a lot more than his CFO, and his secretary, which is outrageous!"

    While I might agree, it's not exactly pertinent to the point I was making about lead prosecutors on cases of a similar magnitude...

  • I think you may have missed the connection to the first amendment.

    I assumed you believed in the conspiracy theory "slippery slope", I was wondering why you think the slope isn't slippery for the first amendment, but just the second?
