A.) so we should have a dumb law because there are other dumb laws?

B.) either the law matters, in which case you need to repeal the amendment. Or the law doesn’t matter in which case why are you advocating a new law?

C.) okay.

A.) murder, by definition, always has a victim. Guns don’t.
B.) Because “we” decided it is? I wasn’t talking about some sort of natural rights or rights intrinsic to the universe, just legal rights as codified by law.

So unless you repeal the 2nd amendment (haha fucking good luck) then you can fuck right off. because…

Heh, remember when that black gay guy shot 2 white ladies and you lefties started saying “wow they wont even call him a terrorist, probably because he’s fucking white!” and then it was found out that he was actually black and then suddenly it was just workplace violence and not ‘domestic terrorism!’ as the left was…

Huh that seems like moving the goal posts and... also thats not a citation of any sort.

Do you have a citation for your claim that white males are the ‘overwhelming’ majority of shooters?

Hmm.

Lets see... is an action that is necessarily harmful and unwanted to someone (murder) the same as an object which isn’t necessarily harmful (a gun.)?

Oh... no.

Is making an action with a victim illegal and a punishable offense the same as making possession of an inanimate object that doesn’t necessarily have a…

Really? White people are the “overwhelming majority” of people who use guns to shoot people? Got some citations for me?

Right, good point.

You can’t stop heroin because it grows from the ground.
Well at least the republicans should make some synthetic drugs illegal! Then nobody could do those drugs because they don’t grow from the ground and there is no such thing as a black market!

Missing the point. Also fun fact, a big chunk of that number is suicides.

The left doesn’t even learn the facts of a situation before calling to ban things as a solution to the problem.

It very well could be the case that the shooter was already violating dozens of gun control laws by doing this. After all, and I know this may shock you, but words on paper doesn’t stop bullets.

Oh boy, can’t wait for the left to be wrong again about this shit.

Yeah I agree. Also I hear there is a heroin epidemic in parts of the united states. When will the republicans allow for common sense heroin control? I mean just ban the stuff then nobody will be able to do heroin!

I more or less agree with you, but I have to ask to see this proven to be a fruad thing. I mean that’s a hefty allegation. I just think he’s wrong but I wouldn’t call him a fruad.

Also how does Molyneux make money from views when his channel isn’t monetized (he never shuts the fuck up about donations and how he…

Oh boy, you don’t see many molyneuxvians out and about on this part of the internet. I thought you dumb dumbs were contained to /r/anarcho_capitalism and FDR.

people being idiots is neither supporting evidence or a counter example of philosophical zombies.

I don’t think you understand the concept.

Lol hold up, not having a day off for several months?

Are you telling me that it is normal for teachers to work on the weekends? (No working 1 or 2 hours grading on Saturday doesn’t counter)

Also according to the BLS teachers work less than the average professional on the weekend.

I was using the amount of hours that teachers SELF REPORTED to the BLS.

so that includes grading papers at home and making lesson plans.

BTW Huffpo link you gave, 1000 hours teaching a year? thats about 20 hours a week. Boo Hoo. or 23 hours for every week they teach. Also high school teachers make only 71% of what…

That is not a rebuttal of what I said.

Teachers are not underpaid.

They work less hours than the average full time worker.
They work less weeks than the average full time worker.
They in general have pretty good benefits.
They make about the same as the average full time worker of similar educational backgrounds.

I fail to see how this is underpaid.

I appreciate that you answered my question and without snark. It can be hard to have real discussions with people on the internet about anything serious.

That said, I have to ask, why do you think places like Palo Alto cost so much to live? If the minimum wage is calculated based on cost of living in the surrounding…

“The teacher teaching my kid deserves to make more money, and I am willing to pay more in taxes, but I am for some reason unwilling to write a check to the teacher directly and cut out the middle man.”
