10 out of 10 love it

Do you mean sort (All for example) by top posts last 6 hours? Cause Voyager does have that.

So if an unpaid debt can't affect your credit score, can you essentially just ignore it without significant impact to your life? Like the only recourse the hospital would have is to sue you I assume?

That law is for chat apps that have a user base over like 40M. Is Signal even that large yet?

Oh no I was never thinking of a gun ban as the metaphor, my apologies if that's what came across. I was more so thinking along the lines of what politicians are doing to law abiding gun owners in NM recently (prior to the court restraint). That's more so what I was calling making murder double illegal and being a useless decree.

They can ignore them and still murder yes. It happens in the 10s of thousands per year in the US alone. Once you're caught the law lets society punish these individuals, but the law didn't pervent the murder. Ergo making it double illegal won't help.

So we can charge them and put them away from society. Making a crime more illegaler and increasing the punishment for it doesn't reduce crime rates.

Its already illegal to murder, so adding additional crimes to gun possetion is essentially a proxy for making murder double illegal. If a criminal doesn't care about murder laws, possession laws aren't going to bother them.

Your metaphor would be more like saying: pedophilia is already illegal, make giving candy to children who aren't yours with intent to abduct illegal too. Essentially make pedophilia double illegal (in this instance).

We probably agree on more then we disagree. There's a problem with murder in the US (gun or otherwise) and I agree we need to fix it. I just feel social programs that actually take care of people's needs (like what Canada has in universal healthcare and better worker protections) will fix far more violence, gun or otherwise.

The 2A is a right of the people and is clear about it being a personal right not a malitia right, so laws restricting gun ownership like what you have in Canada are illegal here.

And thank you for the polite banter, we may not agree on everything but discussing it without devolving into insults is a breath of fresh air.

I'm aware of the anecdote fallacy. Her carrying a gun is not a reason I'm for carry rights, her carrying a gun is a reason I'm happy to have the right. Subtle but important distinction.

No the reason we have the right is the 2nd amendment, full stop (no well regulated does not mean government regulations). And SCOTUS confirming this with the Bruen decision.

Finally. I for the life of me cannot figure out how to read the battery health of my used Pixel 6.

Okay

Hey if being such an asshole to someone who's done nothing to you make you feel good, have fun. Not letting people provide evidence and going strait to being rude is a great way to think you're always right.

I didn't do anything wrong

You literally asked what if we took all he guns away and I gave a counterpoint why i think that would be bad. If you doubt my sources (which is impressive since i hadn't provided any yet) say so instead of jumping to insults. If you want to start ad hominem attacks, just reply to yourself cause I'm not interested in continuing the conversation.

Because guns in America are used defensively at least 1 to 1 (this ratio is higher in some studies) with their use in crime. So no, until the crime is gone I want to defend myself. And once crime is gone, then who are you making safer by disarming anyone.

Lol caught. The other comment would have been obvious if you didn't click my post history. Take the L graciously and move on.

You probably would have seen the other comment if you clicked on the original post instead of clicking on my comment using my profile history.

Because the other reply to this comment mentioned Paul Walker, which is a Fast and Furious reference.
