  1.  @OsirusIrdia  There is a problem with murdering a fetus, but a woman who evicts a fetus from her body is not committing murder.

  2.  @elzsam1  A quick search suggests that Estonia is actually one of the few countries in Europe that doesn't criminalize "hate speech," so congrats.

  3. That's an irrelevant question. If it's part of the woman's body, then clearly she can do as she wants with it. If it's a separate human, then it doesn't have a right to use the woman's body without her consent.

  4. @Humanity Galatica Considering that you'd likely accept that people could be forced to reproduce if it was deemed good for the collective, I don't really care about your idea of sanity.

  5. Human rights are kinda primal things.

  6. Promoting responsible gun ownership is of course worthwhile, but government barriers are not acceptable. Would you ever consider psych evaluations or tests before "allowing" someone to exercise their free speech?

  7. Cool, I don't want you living in the US either. You stay over there and I'll stay over here and we can both get what we want.

  8.  @phantomdaze2599  No, I'm actually quite calm about it. If you don't like American ideals then I don't want you living in America. You stay over there, I'll stay over here, and we can both get what we want.

  9.  @phantomdaze2599  And I want people to be free, to have their individual rights secure. "Solutions" which reduce liberty are invalid.

  10. Yes, why do you suppose there are shooting sports?
    2
  11. No one was forced to participate.

  12.  @Maksie0  Try advocating for capitalism in a socialist country. See what happens.
    2
  13.  @Maksie0  I'm aware of the concept, I'm talking about the reality. If you really didn't have authoritarianism in your socialism, like a true market mutualist, then capitalism is going to win because the labor theory of value is false.

  14. Hence why you lock your guns up when they aren't under your direct control.
    2
  15. Black Americans are the fastest growing group of gun owners.
    2
  16. Really? You can look at the 20th century and wonder how people find socialism to be bad?

  17.  @justincousins-lee5264  An intermediate caliber rifle. The standard AR-15 is chambered in .223 / 5.56.

  18.  @chantalmorgenstern7675  The only variable that you can truly control is yourself. I can know that I have a gun to defend myself with. I can't know when or how someone might attempt to victimize me.
    2
  19.  @kunpunko  Literally an authoritarian mindset.
    2
  20. That's like saying a country is a mess if you feel the need to have a fire extinguisher or first aid kit. The mindset of helplessness people in other countries have is baffling to me.

  21. What? You guys had a mass shooting this year. An extremist shot up some shisha bars and killed nine people.

  22. "The majority of americans support a living wage, a green new deal, M4A, taxing the rich. etc" I hear people keep saying that, but reality does not bear it out. We see repeatedly that polling / surveys are basically a junk science that at best give you a rough idea and at worst are totally misleading. What actually matters is how people vote. Bernie Sanders lost the popular vote in the primary (with 26% compared to Biden's 51%) and, while Biden did win, Trump still managed to get 47% of the popular vote even though he's staunchly opposed to all of those things.

  23. If you want to go that route, forget the debate bros altogether and just have economists. Wolff and Epstein are fine, lose the rest.

  24.  @thanos8638  False. The worker who stocks the grocery store shelves gets paid regardless of when or even if those goods sell.
    2
  25. Still upset about the Revolutionary War I see.
    2
  26. Plenty of people are safer, guns are used defensively pretty frequently.
    2
  27. And there shouldn't be pain and suffering and crime, but there is.
    2
  28. Nazism isn't banned. Nothing should be banned since no one should have the power to do the banning.
    2
  29. That would explain the recent comments.

  30. Citizens who lawfully carry guns are on average more law abiding than police officers. My experience as someone who carries a gun myself is that it makes people less aggressive because the consequences of getting into a confrontation can be so serious. You'll never meet friendlier people than you will at a gun range.
    2
  31.  @calamity2956  Your point is that you can be killed and you're fine with being helpless? Okey dokey.
    2
  32. I'd rather not be helpless, thanks. What people do need to understand is that buying a gun is just the first step. You have to train and practice and be responsible.
    2
  33.  @thanos8638  Except for the boots of guys like Stalin, Mao, Castro, etc.
    2
  34.  @thanos8638  They didn't free anyone, they just put them under the boot of new masters.
    2
  35.  @thanos8638  That's rich coming from a communist.
    2
  36.  @thanos8638  Actual communism, as in a stateless, moneyless, classless society is still utopian. Marxist Leninists will never bring it about. Marxism itself is fundamentally flawed, based on misunderstandings of economics and a faulty view of history and nature.

  37. No. First, it's not just gun threats that you might need to defend against. A gun is a handy thing to have for, say, a 100 pound woman who has to defend herself against a 250 pound man. Second, it's not possible to actually take guns out of the equation. Are you going to take all the guns away from government agents? Are you going to monitor everyone in the country perfectly to prevent the import or construction of illegal firearms?

  38. Firearms are observably used by people to successfully defend themselves and others. The "natural advantage" of the attacker can be overcome by situational awareness and preparation.
    2
  39.  @BalkanBoy19  Even on the low end, you see numbers like 60,000 defensive gun uses. Frankly, just the fact that it is possible is sufficient. No, you don't have to walk with your hand on the gun at all times. You do have to view every person as a potential threat, because they are. This doesn't mean that you are constantly on edge. It means that you scan people and determine how likely they are to be a threat based on knowledge and intuition. You can think of it like an alert system. When you are outside, you should always be on "yellow" alert. When you see a suspicious person or situation, then you go to "red" alert. As for the attacker hiding somewhere, again, situational awareness. You need to be aware of blind spots and ways you can be ambushed. Have a flashlight. Be cautious going around corners. Stay sharp when going to your car. You are fundamentally responsible for your own safety. Take that responsibility seriously.

  40.  @Maksie0  To put it simply, it's necessary for a planned economy. People being free to do as they will messes up whatever production / distribution system is employed to replace the price system, so their lives must be controlled to have any hope of getting it to work.

  41. It's part of our culture that developed from self defense of property and general individualism. Human beings have the right to defend themselves and the government has no just authority to take that right away.
    2
  42. It's a poorly kept secret that black americans tend to be culturally conservative, and of course the idea that an entire race of people is some sort of hive mind is just ridiculous. Individuals run the gamut on their views.
    2
  43. Why should I have my rights infringed upon because of your irrational fear?
    2
  44. Yeah, instead you're being arrested for expressing support of protests trying to end the oppressive lockdowns. Real great.

  45. Humanity at large has been the beneficiary of capitalism. Compare the conditions of people now to the conditions of people even a few centuries ago.
    2
  46. There is nothing that could happen that would cause us to ban guns or implement Australian style gun control. That should be clear by now. If the gun control crowd could ever actually accept that, we could work on actual solutions like improving security in vulnerable areas.

  47. You're setting off a small explosion and engaging in an activity where you can measure improvement in your skill and compete with others. It's fun in the way any sport is fun and in the way going on something like a rollercoaster is fun.

  48. Tasers are notoriously ineffective, especially the civilian models. Pepper spray is the superior non-lethal option, but the simple truth is that lethal options are sometimes necessary.
    2
  49. Yes, it's certainly possible to be helpless victims. We don't want that.
    2
  50.  @catarinagentil509  Yes, it is. The way to not be a victim is to be able to defend yourself.
