@mushi I looked at 9gag when I woke up this morning... Then I needed a tripple shower. ( 1 because *cringe* 2 because 9gag, and 3 because "normal shower" )
-
@colfax Yes, Home Depot really blows every form of compareable European home-improvement store out of the water, pun intended. But you see, I would personally see even improvement if some people ( the psychologically compromised for example ) did not have easy access to weapons with massive killing potential. The keyword being "easy".
I really do not think people who are about to kill someone else look into Leonardo Davinchi's designs and say "hey, I am gonna make a Super Scythed Chariot and use it against my co-workers today". Because that would be too hard.
Same for Zipguns, yes you can probably make one, but shooting everyone in the boardroom up with a zipgun in under 10 seconds would be neigh impossible. Unless if you can create a 15 barreled zipgun that uses buckshot shotgun shells or something... Which would be hard to sneak in.
It's a difficult topic though. -
@colfax I am not saying you would ever commit any form of crime or tragedy, however, that does happen to be the topic you decided to ran along.
-
@fl0wn In the world of typo's where "of"'s and "or"'s sometimes get mixed up
-
@colfax Yeah, my point exactly. Even if someone were to steal your weird zipgun and decide to go shoot up a cinema or something they probably would not get past 2 injured due to reloading times and whatnot. Also Carson's "you could just rush the gunman" would have been WAY more likely to succeed. It's not an AR-15 or something.
-
@colfax True, but would that allow for stopping power the likes of which an actual pump action of automatic shotgun past the first actual shell ?
-
@colfax *googles for images* Yeah that is totally an improvised firearm. which are in turn known as zipguns.
-
@colfax Ah, there we go. I probably saw a bottle of it at one time.
-
@colfax Yeah but the barrel and priming mechanism are impossible to safely create with 3D printing technology unless if you want to end up as maimed as my headcannon says the PC of Farcry 2 is. Also there is the "hammer" or "pin" which would prove to be an obstacle
-
@adiwan Heh, awesome... Also, why does "drumpf" somehow remind me of grapes ?
-
@pennyfortheguy I was expecting something classier than a neo "why is the rum gone" thing. But I give John Oliver the benefit of the doubt. I should check out them new episidodes come to think of it.
-
@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.

Why am I still awake ?!? *bed*

@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.

@nerthos I'll get back to you on this tomorrow after I tested a little theory I have brewing. Also bubblewrap theory, ohkay ?
-
@ellistia I know... and I do not want to post 10 posts in a row ( even if there is 4 hours in between post 1 and 10 ) since it clashes with my prime directive
-
@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. -
RDN did it again... Ugh...
-
... did RDN just eat my careful constructed post ? ... I am going to be grapeed if it did.
-
@vcgriffin Yeah... Minecraft is notorious for that sort of behaviour too.
-
@nerthos I, ehmm, would actually respect you a little more for saying that. I just want to know&learn stuff about America and their customs and being able to tell my grandchildren ( or someone elses grandchildren more likely ) a story about how someone put a curse on humpty dumpty blah blah blah, windeggs, blah blah blah, plastic cirgury to change it's looks, blah blah blah, became president, ruined the country and broke the curse... Or something like that.
Yes I want to be the funny kind of old man. -
@nerthos If you are talking about not being able to say "But I do not trust muslims" without being worried about upsetting muslims... Or not being able to say "I am not saying Mexicans are rappist directly, but I am saying that someone is doing the rapping". I think that Carly Fiorina and Donald Trump ruined that bubble for me. That however does NOT mean I agree with the republicans, but there are some things we can probably learn from all 16 ( 16 ? really ) people who had their own stand at the republican or democratic debates. Just some, ehmm, nuance and tactile would be welcome
-
@nerthos "bubble wrap mentality". I like that phraising, is that a real thing or just a nerthos-spin on things ?
-
https://youtu.be/Lra9sIksZiQ?t=960 "does luke have enough wood, does the crackpipe Linus found still work, find out on the next episode of ..." *click* Give me the next episode !!! ... I should have gone to bed already come to think of it...

@mushi And that is how your downspiraling into nerddom, cartoons, books, science, and eventually colourfull equines began ?
-
@tiffany Yaay, I did a thing :D
-
@zennx Blood is easiest... Awesome mom too...
-
@mushi You're awfull... ( I like it )
-
@tiffany O.J. Simderella ?
