@m14brony You may build your Churches, your steeples, Mosques, Temples, and institutions, you may build your towering institutions and buildings dedicateed to science.. But welcome pony is all. Welcome pony is the very ground. She welcomes all those that come, from the bigbang, to the end of the universe. She is there, she welcomes death and life together as one.

@m14brony Yes, yes they are. However I am not worried about criminals getting guns, I am worried about someone with a psychological meltdown who has easy/quick access to guns.

@m14brony You know. I agree with that. Probably have to look up "swiss mandatory gun training" though. But for everyone who agrees there is a nutcase who wants to put GPS trackers in bullets and other baloney. Govnerment has to balance that somehow. No matter how we look at it they probably always flufflepuffled it. I mean if smartguns become universally the new norm then you might see the rise of the zipgun again. Govnerment can't win. But we must never stop critiqueing.

@m14brony Taking away your guns now ? yeah that would be crazy. If the Average American is just as crazy about their guns as I am about pink poofballs still running around in my brain... we'd probably both go insane without them anyway. What I am saying though is that you should probably keep guns away from people who say such crazy Fluffle Puff as "pink poofballs running around in my brain" in any other context that does not one automatically assume Ponies ( we are still on RDN, remember ). And right now I could just send an autistic co-worker into a gun-store with some directions as to what he should buy, make him mark a checkbox on a piece of paper, and trade the gun for a big wad of cash after the transaction is completed and he is out of the store. ... as for my co-worker, yeah could just say that he lost the gun one time at the beach and forgot all about it since he was on holliday. ... So yeah, that system is in dire need of some serious ducttape.

@m14brony I could go outside right now wearing a frankenstein's monster mask and shout at every animal and pet every human I see for just over 20 minutes and probably get the same ammount of media attention in this shtty excuse for a village and probably get enough free drug samples for depression, anti neurotics, and probably at least 5 different flavours of narcoleptic drugs... Point is... it involves loads of public screaming, morbid paranoia, no lawsuits... it does not take a whole lot to get on every news station for up to 3 days in these parts... But I no doubt do not have the stamina compared to children's ability to get hurt and mommies screaming. That is for sure.

@m14brony And who is to say that crime rate isn't dropping due to anti criminal programs doing their job, or criminals wising up to the fact that there is more money in covertly stealing than actually mugging people or stores. Or hitting that magic criminal to magic-gun-saturation level where the chance of a successfull mugging is now too small to succeed in the eyes of many criminals ? Or maybe the petty crimes are going down due to so many guns in the open ? ... It just leaves me with more questions than a feeling of safety really. Then again I would not be able to change anything. But I am still gonna ask questions.
Oh, and yeah... money makes the world go around, it is pretty much the NRA's job to make money. And the politics are playing right into their moneymaker practices that work best. -
@m14brony Yet there's no way you could procure all of that on your own, while magnetic guns you can build from scratch and basically make every part of it and the ammo yourself. It's mostly a freedom vs dependency thing. Both punch holes on things, the difference being that with magnetic guns it's all by yourself, while with firearms it's with a lot of people behind you.

@m14brony You're thinking WAAAY to American. Whenever a kid gets injured on a city-hall constructed playground ( think like, shoulder>arm socket depopping ) in Europe, noone is actually thinking "hey lets sue City Hall", they are going to shout from some rooftops, probably get the national TV involved or at least local news, and city-hall will come forward assisting financially ( if that is even needed due to universal healthcare systems ) and swear to make the current playground a safer playground.
But that kid was probably doing something stupid to begin with and now there is rubber padding everywhere. Mothers freak out when someone scrapes their knee this day and age. Also, back when I was growing up it was claimed that stuff like that helped build a strong immunity to stuff. Whatever happened to that anyway ? -
@m14brony I, ehh... well... coming from Europe I would definatly double-take if I found someone in a grocery store just openly-carrying ( still holstered in this scenario ) a M1911-springfield or something. It is not that I find guns are the problem, I just find that the police "nice vs brutal" will definatly tip towards the brutal side if guns are very easy to get, and probably they see all the time. And what politics are doing in America are actually increasing the gun-sales ( If you are in the stock market, you feel this ), increasing the amount of possible guns the police encounter. So yeah, when I see someone with a gun in its holster in an open carry state. I do not fear for anything but "oh please do not let anything happen that requires police involvement or anything because the moment they get aggitated they go shouting, and when people go shouting I get 2 possible things, a PTSD panic attack and a clusterheadache attack... The latter one making the first one even more likely"
-
@m14brony Yeah, since I live in Europe and the last LAN party I went to EVERYONE was playing around with those things ( I probably have pictures of entire windows being covered by sucky-nerf-dart-thingies ) ... Kinda looking to buy one, even if they are weaksauce compared to anything I have fired before... Recommendations ?

@m14brony Yeah that is right... Say do you know anything about NERF ?

@m14brony Magnetic guns are better as far as efficiency, projectile speed, and ecology. Firearms and other chemical based weapons are practical but require lots of infrastructure to manufacture ammunition.
-
@m14brony I think you're getting the wrong idea. I just like the guy because he's both a meme and some sort of saturday morning supervillain from the other side of the world.

@m14brony Considering I live in a different hemisphere, I'm pretty sure I'm not paying for ir.
