School Shooting in Knoxville

[Orangeslice13]

I'm just a stickler for the rules.

Is there a rule that says you need to include me in other conversations because we’re besties?

 

[McDad]

I don’t even know what I’m supposed to be answering or how it was relevant to what I said, but I think I saw you rise a few centimeters that time. Hysterics is a bad look for you.

Ruh roh. Now you're attributing reactionary behavior to me which doesn't exist. My experience is when that is the tactic, it describes the person describing more than the person being described.

You can pull the parachute now if you want. You don't have to continue to flail about in the hopes of landing a "punch".

PS. The conversation and posts are still available in the thread if you want to get a handle on what you're supposed to be answering if you want.

It's far more significant than a single can of beer. All of this booze being irresponsibly owned. We need significant restrictions on the purchase of alcohol. No more than x ounces per purchase with a limit on monthly purchases.

Can someone walk RT through this data so he can be on the same page with the rest of us?

And if someone deranged person comes at you while hunting you’ll have it dialed in to defend yourself. I hope that’s not a hobby.

It’s not, I’d be using a gun for it’s intended purpose.

It’s not, I’d be using a gun for it’s intended purpose.

I thought your intended purpose was to harvest antelope and mule deer.

 

[OHvol40]

I have no fear . You tried to reduce everything talked about down to “taking away our guns “ I gave you examples of what infringements on a right , is being talked about daily and why that isn’t at all..

Were you using examples of things being advocated for here, or did you bring those into the discussion?

 

[luthervol]

Didn't you say there should be limits on the sale of multiple guns? By definition that is you banning the sell of a gun to a person.

It's not the same at all. Restrictions are not the same as banning.

 

[OHvol40]

I thought your intended purpose was to harvest antelope and mule deer.

Yeah, by killing them. If I wanted a pet, I’d use a net.

 

[C-south]

It’s not, I’d be using a gun for it’s intended purpose.

I commend you on having that level of commitment to not defend yourself under attack because you didn’t have the “proper” gun.

 

[luthervol]

So Jim Bob Sheriff Deputy could decide it’s ok for his cousin Eddy to buy more guns than the law allows?

Of course. Jim Bob already makes those types of decisions.
However, Jim Bob may get fired or even arrested for making poor decisions.

 

[hog88]

It's not the same at all. Restrictions are not the same as banning.

Your restricted to buying 1 gun a month, you are banned from buying 2 guns a month.

Yep I see the difference.

 

[luthervol]

What exactly is there to discuss? You want to place more restrictions on firearms and we say amend the constitution.

An amendment is not required. There have already been restrictions that have been ruled constitutional.

Because there is a problem that needs addressed.
U.S. Gun-Related Murder Rate 25 Times Higher Than Other Nations - MedicineNet

“Compared to 22 other high-income nations, the United States' gun-related murder rate is 25 times higher.”

What's the rate of gun ownership comparison?

 

[hog88]

Yeah, by killing them. If I wanted a pet, I’d use a net.

So the purpose of YOUR 270 is to kill deer. The purpose my 270 might be target practice.

 

[jp1]

It's not the same at all. Restrictions are not the same as banning.

Okay....what are the "restrictions" you are proposing? I dont want to misrepresent what you are saying.

 

[McDad]

I thought the purpose of your guns were to act as a levy during floods?

 

[hog88]

I thought the purpose of your guns were to act as a levy during floods?

My hypothetical 270.

 

[OHvol40]

What's the rate of gun ownership comparison?

Good question.

[OHvol40]

So the purpose of YOUR 270 is to kill deer. The purpose my 270 might be target practice.

Right, both of which are hobbies.

 

[luthervol]

Okay....what are the "restrictions" you are proposing? I dont want to misrepresent what you are saying.

A limit on the number of purchases in a given time frame.
A limit on the type of gun, type of clip, so on and so forth.

 

[jp1]

A limit on the number of purchases in a given time frame.
A limit on the type of gun, type of clip, so on and so forth.

What kind of limit are we thinking here? Can I buy 1 or 2 AR's a month for 12 months? Whats my "clip" limit?

 

[Orangeslice13]

What's the rate of gun ownership comparison?

Or the overall murder rate?

Hit it’s the same.
We shoot.
They hit and stab.

 

[Orangeslice13]

What kind of limit are we thinking here? Can I buy 1 or 2 AR's a month for 12 months? Whats my "clip" limit?

No clip limit.
Magazines are a different story

I’ve done a lot of education for people over the years to help them understand and hopefully curb those exact vices. I’ve seen the consequences of those things and address those problems as best I can when given the opportunity. I’ve also helped treat plenty of gunshot wounds. They are all problems that endanger public health, and they should all be addressed while simultaneously respecting a person’s autonomy.

buying a firearm isn't a "vice" lol....and i am sure you were totally on board with city laws limiting the size of a soft drink that you can buy, etc but it's pointless and doesn't have an affect on the actual problem, which is the point
