Your defense to my accusation that you're cherrypicking, is that I'm the one who's cherrypicking, because I am not cherrypicking? What a mess!

I haven't read this yet.

Thanks for admitting to the cherrypicking.

Yes, but your figure is wrong for the US, latest data I've seen has it at 120 civilian owned guns in America per 100 Americans. 120 per 100, or 1.2 per capita civilian owned guns in America. Next closest is like 0.50 guns per capita, maybe, and that's Yemen. This is just all from memory...

Or openly. In fact I'd prefer openly, and not like, there's one guy in the whole mall with a rifle, but that there are like one in every ten guys with a rifle, something like how many people where masks now, that's how many openly carried rifles I want to see.

Trace the mass murderer's moves in reverse, backward in time after the fact, try to find the point at which our government could have intervened. Obviously such analysis suggests background checks, which this particular mass murderer underwent and passed. So when background checks are...

Well, there you go!

I would sooner ban dogs than machine guns.

Thanks for the bump.

I am what I identify as. Try to keep up.

"Originalist" ideologue.

Manifestly false. You're cherrypicking. There are countries with far stricter gun laws (way fewer guns per capita) and way more murders per capita. It's murderers per capita that overwhelmingly influences murders per capita. In fact the civilian guns owned globally by country is inversely...

Who will win the Republican civil war? Republicans. Red wave baby.

Yes, except you should have gun 7-Elevens, 7-Elevens that only sell guns, like we have here in America everywhere.

Yes. On the contrary, one of the many joys of Catholicism is how it is set up for us naturally to pursue personal righteousness and avoid sin, just as much as we want to, as we are gradually and definitely conformed to the image and mind of Christ our Lord through the sacraments, especially the...

There's no apocrypha in the Catholic Bible, but the books you're alluding to number seven. There are 73 books in the Catholic Bible, 66 in the Protestant Bible, and Orthodoxy has a range.

The war test

Because Manc apparently can't answer, I have to continue this myself. And now that @Stripe has entered the fray, we can think about Taiwan, not just Ukraine. It's already established in Manc's avoidance of my interrogation that if Ukraine could go back in time to January, knowing that Russia...

Murderers exist. But so do bears, mountain lions, coyotes. And so do my family and neighbors, they all exist too. Being armed is just being prepared. It's being the opposite of irrational and irresponsible. You just have to be armed in a not-irrational and not-irresponsible manner is all...

That doesn't mean that he didn't believe the law should be made. My only contention is that, which legal theory do you base your view on, that this law should be made? The answer is, utilitarian legal positivism. This legal (and moral) theory is repugnant to the Constitution, and to the moral...
