“Even people who are experienced with guns probably shouldn’t have them at home. The only thing they do is make it more likely that someone, somehow, gets shot dies—more likely you or someone you love than someone trying to harm you. That is a fact.”

I agree. People who are uncomfortable/inexperienced with guns should not be stockpiling weapons and ammo. In all of the more likely disaster scenarios, a gun isn’t gonna help you unless there is LONG-term breakdown of services and institutions. Such a situation isn’t what the author is preparing for anyways (I guess…

Pretty much everybody is fucked. In an exchange with Russia, places like DC, NYC, etc don’t get one warhead, they get 20.

Acquiring a rifle in NYC is prohibitively difficult for most people. Long guns require a permit to purchase as well as licenseing. The NYPD is very stingy with permits.

To be fair, people are shooting each other in the streets in many places in the world as we speak.

I agree, mostly. You don’t have to worry so incessantly about other survivors in the immediate aftermath of a natural disater or attack. I think this sort of breakdown of the social contract doesn’t happen until there is a prolonged lack of services. The “without rule of law” scenario is totally possible, but likey…

Guns are de facto illegal in NYC. It is very difficult to obtain a long gun permit, let alone one for a handgun.

“When the waiter came, I ordered a fettucine alfredo and a glass of milk”

I know. Something my “edgier” friends take for granted is security and stability, which we enjoy despite having a backwards and dysfunctional government. The reality of civil war in the modern era is unequivocally horrible (see: Yemen, Lybia, Syria, Ukraine). You can’t have democracy without security, though I do…

How about guns?

I mean, shouldn’t they? Shit If I was black I’d want some revenge. Can we really get over racism without white people getting whats coming to them?

This is wishfull thinking. Americans don’t really do angry mobs marching on the statehouse to remove a politican. It’ll take worse than depression level unemployment and millions dying of starvation for that.

Cocaine, what else?

Yeah, this “crazy uncle” is also torturing millions of political opponents in concentration camps.

Maybe my google-fu is weak, but I haven’t been able to find a remotely recent homicide that involved a suppressor. They’re like $1000+

No. Only in video games.

Suppressors are still loud as fuck, especially with supersonic ammo. Real life isn’t Splinter Cell. Gun control works when it better prevents people who shouldnt have guns from getting them, not so much by line-item banning specific features; all that does is make people feel better. Whether or not a semi auto rifle…

I started seeing variations of this haircut on white guys (basically a mid-fade with a lot of length on top) on lookbook.nu around 2010. People referred to it as the “hitler youth.” A few years later it, and similar styles like an undercut with no blend became ubiquitous for white dudes. Honestly, its been a pretty…

“So instead of forsaking your privilege and running the risk of ruining your life on the off chance that the Glorious Political Lesbian Revolution fails to take off because nobody else gives a fuck, you can simply relabel every dumb little thing you do as feminism, rebrand every bit of self-gratification as…
