Someone needs to pick up this torch.
Tag a band that you think can do it. I'm voting for @sabaton
@TaylorGrigsby10@bluebear10777@amuse You offered this solution: "At most I’d say harsher penalties for people that commit violent crime. Keep them in prison longer and take away their chances of violently reoffending as often."
Clearly that solution won't work, so try another solution.
@TaylorGrigsby10@bluebear10777@amuse You said there will be more human loss when people can't defend themselves. Police are not in that equation, so why do we need them if it is more safe for citizens to be armed?
@TaylorGrigsby10@bluebear10777@amuse Wooowww. So nothing in even your imagination could convince you to even pull back on guns the tiniest bit?
That is so dark that human loss and suffering mean nothing to you, but some pieces of steel and polymer are the holiest of symbols.
@TaylorGrigsby10@bluebear10777@amuse Sure, whatever - you win.
But what WOULD you need to see happen here to say to yourself, "Hey, maybe we should reign in the guns a bit."
I'm genuinely curious what your threshold is, if there is any.
@TaylorGrigsby10@bluebear10777@amuse Hypotheticals like that are endless and prove nothing. So you want to only make gun laws based on isolated domestic abuse precedents?
@TaylorGrigsby10@bluebear10777@amuse The worst and the best (see my list of law enforcement). Pretty sure that's how it is everywhere else in the world, except here.
Also drugs aren't guns so that argument does nothing here.
@TaylorGrigsby10@bluebear10777@amuse And city police, state police, federal Marshalls, SWAT, border patrol, FBI. You know, the billions we spend for people to protect us.
@TaylorGrigsby10@bluebear10777@amuse Nope, other criminals would probably turn in other criminals. And even without that, we'd still be like 85% towards a better situation, which is a huge win. It will never be 100%, everyone knows that.
