@maiyannah Again, that's why actual justice should be enforced. Not everyone has a good sense for it, and they'll try to enforce their own brand if there's no default brand enforced.
-
@thelastgherkin See I told you.
-
@maiyannah I believe in only using enough force as needed. It doesn't have a roof though. But yeah, most of these guys are using shootings and their martyrs to generate nothing but more shootings. The school ones are a good example, blaming gun culture and videogames instead of making the school authorities more competent and encourage them to openly punish bullies and other types of abusers so singled out kids will feel like there's justice in there and won't decide to grab their dad's gun and make some justice happen, just to be branded as criminals and nutjobs even when they hit no one but the ones who harmed them with impunity. Violence happens when the wicked feel they can get away with it, and when the good feel like authority punishes them for being good and rewards the baddies.

@thelastgherkin I do because for some reason I remember all these inconsequential things that made me laugh. I think I have some screenshot around but not sure where.

The real flaxx started acting fairly disturbed by it but then again that was half the point of the place.

@thelastgherkin Back in ECH when you made an account with a mirrored avatar of flaxx's and named it "flaxxx" and pretended to be the real one for lulz.
-
@maiyannah Yup. And the response is never "well maybe we should place a few well armed cops in these places!" but rather "NO GUNS ARE EVIL"

@tiffany I meant the time Gherkin made a flaxx copy account. Then again, ECH was mostly you, me, flaxx, gherkin and sometimes cerulean.

@tiffany Remember flaxxx

@maiyannah In my opinion the best way to get rid of gun crime is do something like in switzerland where the bigger part of the population is given military training and have guns, thus everyone is knowledgeable in gun use and gun security. Even if some nutjob starts shooting people, the most likely outcome is that someone else will pull a gun and end the slaughter within the first few minutes. Gun crime is in big part fueled by the criminal having a feeling of advantage over the victim, but that crumbles if everyone else can kill you as easily as you can kill them.
-
@maiyannah Oh I didn't mean north america, I mean here. There isn't really a movement like that here, just some old ladies who don't like guns but they also don't like any sort of violence at all. You know, the true believer christian type? "violence is bad and no one should have the right to kill" but actually believing that, not using it for profit.
-
@maiyannah Oh, I think you can get one for that reason here too, I just think the bar should be lowered in the "need" area as long as you pass the tests that show you won't shoot up a mall.

@maiyannah Unfortunately too many people don't understand this. Instead of restricting legal ownership, the reasonable solution would be to tighten on punishment of unlawful ownership.
-
@maiyannah So they're pretty much the same in both places. Nice. Honestly though I would extend gun carrying licenses to anyone who has a justifiable feeling of insecurity (as in crime, not emotional), has reached 25 years or so of age with absolutely no crime record, and can pass the skill and psychological tests.

@maiyannah But I agree with this for the most part and that has always been my counter to gun-hating political stances. "if you outlaw guns criminals will still get them as they don't buy them legally, and you'll have no way to defend yourself"
-
@maiyannah Gun carrying licenses have been, if a bit too restrictive to my tastes here, fairly decent (until the kirchnerist government but what didn't they and the other peronists corrupt?). You'd have medical and social screening for it, need a stable source of income to show you're not going to use it for crime, need to show that you practice with guns often, and to justify why you want one. Gun ownership licenses on the other hand are simply "no criminal record, no mental disorders, has a job" but you aren't allowed to take them out of your house unless you unload it completely and carry it in a bag or something.
-
Special privileges aren't bad but they must be given on merit, not to bolster a political agenda. Like gun carrying licenses. You get one if you can justify needing it and pass a lot of medical screenings and skill tests to determine you're mentally and physically apable of using them. If they were handed out based on some arbitrary identity basis it'll always be terrible for everyone except those that got the bad licenses.

@maiyannah Pretty much my views on it.
