I agree but only due to the mentality of a typical 4 yo. But I don’t think you can categorize ALL of them. You can watch kids as young or younger doing absolutely amazing things on YouTube that society says can’t be done at that age.Because it reaches a level of risk that society determines to be unacceptable.
I did not put the graphic together. Included in the snip is the media source - AXIOS - I believe they skew Left.
An asteroid strike would cause damage, don’t you think? Would that be a good comparison as well?
My ridiculous Asteroid comparison understandably drew your attention, but I would like to go back to the AXIOS data/graphic.It would be a great comparison if you are comparing damages from different events.
It's still not an apples to apples comparison, but it is interesting that the cumulative total of all 300 + riots is the same as the 5 days of LA riots in '92.My ridiculous Asteroid comparison understandably drew your attention, but I would like to go back to the AXIOS data/graphic.
You believe it unfair to group all the events of summer 2020 as one event?

How about a 12 year old?
I'll try to break it down to a level you can process.
I was for the kid making better decisions that would have avoided the senseless killings. Once he stupidly put himself in the position he found himself and decided to shoot and kill a person because he "felt" threatened, it would have been good by me had they taken each other out. It would have saved the life of the guy with a skateboard if nothing else.
It is a good reminder of just how destructive those LA riots were.It's still not an apples to apples comparison, but it is interesting that the cumulative total of all 300 + riots is the same as the 5 days of LA riots in '92.
I guess it depends on what you're trying to prove with the data.
If a person isn't in support of a 4 year old having the legal right to take a machine gun to pre-k, does that make them anti 2a?
Just trying to establish a baseline.
That has next to nothing to do with rather or not a 12 year old should be walking down a city street during a violent protest openly carrying a gun.Well as a 12 year old I’d already had 5 years of shooting with safe weapons handling training and would sit on the back steps picking starlings out of trees with a scoped .22 rifle. One shot had better equal one kill, so I’d trust 12 year old me with a rifle more than a lot of adults.
What is it you are saying? Feelz count for something?because he "felt" threatened... and there we have it.
The lefty issue with self defense is that the armed person just needs to feel a reasonable threat of great bodily injury or death will result from the attacker to respond with justifiable deadly force.
Feelings only count when they are in support of a lefty’s viewpoint.
Well, that's simply not true. I remember vividly in 92 during the LA riots that there were riots in Atlanta and other cities. I was working in Atlanta and was escorted by state police to my car. There was destruction in Atlanta and other cities.It is a good reminder of just how destructive those LA riots were.
This goes to why they combined the 2020 events -

But if you say yes, then move it down to 9. If still yes, move it to 6. Is there an age at which it should be illegal to openly carry a gun down a city street?

Parental judgments? How naïve are you people?If a kid has the mental capability to digest, retain and consistently exhibit proper firearms handling protocols then no, there should be no minimum age restrictions. Any restrictions applied should be strictly from parental judgments of their own child.
