> Seeing a gun doesn't traumatize you for life

It's even worse, the children might see a gun and want one! California can't have that.

yeetawayhnon How Fear and Social Pressure Are 'Overarming' the U.S.

> Not to anyone who is hoping to avoid catastrophic civil disorder and mass murder

They are still hoping, but just being more realistic about firearms.

yeetawayhnon How Fear and Social Pressure Are 'Overarming' the U.S.

> Like do we focus on enabling safe storage and mental health safety with guns or making it harder? On making kids and families more knowledgeable and safer around guns or just amping up the anxiety and fear?

The only way to move forward is through good faith efforts of the former and stopping the lobby groups from doing the latter.

Power tools are intentionally dangerous too. A reasonable person wouldn't take anyone who talks about how a household with power tools is less safe on average seriously either. Or one who moves the goalpost to battleships.

> No country allow private citizens owning guns but America

This is blatantly false.

yeetawayhnon How Fear and Social Pressure Are 'Overarming' the U.S.

It's kind of amazing how we can find countries with more than zero but still don't have kids shot at school.

How peculiar.

Plausible, since TikTok doesn't operate in China. They do have a local version that is vastly different from what they feed foreign countries.

yeetawayhnon NY Bill Would Require Background Checks to Buy 3D Printers

The numbers indicate that the alcohol epidemic is an order of magnitude worse. Someone who believes they are equally bad is either minimizing the alcohol epidemic or inflating the gun epidemic.

And yet those are the same people who don't consider alcohol deaths to be an epidemic, and aren't treating it as such.

>As I understand it manufacturing your own firearms is explicitly legal in the US.

In the US, yes. But maybe not in NY.

yeetawayhnon 'No Way to Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

>I could drive to the next state over and buy almost literally anything cash in hand, short of an actual full auto.

You couldn't. At least not legally. Buying firearms from a private party in another state is illegal by federal law. You could only buy long guns from a federally licensed dealer in a neighboring state if that firearm is legal in your state of residence. If you wanted to buy a handgun from a federally licensed dealer, it would have to be transferred to a dealer in your state.

>In Florida, this one chick left an AR on the sofa with a full mag, a round racked, safety off (State 4, aka Instant state, which means SOMETHIN'S GETTIN' SHOT).

Can you mention where these State levels are defined? What you described sounds closer to Condition 0 on the firearm condition readiness scale.

>Condition 0: A round chambered, full magazine in place, hammer cocked, safety off.

If we're talking about frustrating the gun industry, then all of your licensees should be able to privately manufacture firearms in the classifications they are allowed to have.

yeetawayhnon 'No Way to Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

No way. I saw the Nice truck photos, and that is much worse.

yeetawayhnon 'No Way to Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

Per the CDC:

>Excessive alcohol use was responsible for more than 140,000 deaths in the United States each year

Firearm deaths don't even break 5 digits.

>If you just say you are married, the child will understand that your family unit is like their family unit.

Obviously not, since married encompasses more than that. If you are married to someone of the same gender or agender, then you are still married.

yeetawayhnon Axon Ditches Plan for Weaponized Taser Drones (Majority of Ethics Board Resigns)

It's true, you could also interpret the first amendment to mean that you have freedom of picking any religion you want, but you still have to pick a religion.

That wouldn't make it reasonable, but you could.

yeetawayhnon Axon Ditches Plan for Weaponized Taser Drones (Majority of Ethics Board Resigns)

No, "civilized" here is supposed to allow the speaker to ignore all of the countries where gun control doesn't help. Do not pay any attention to the racism of calling those countries "uncivilized".

>For instance you don't want the gun to blind, deafen or grabbed and used against you

Sounds like we need to make it easier to obtain suppressors so that the victim's guns do not blind or deafen them as much.
