mass shooters - mental illness / Insanity Plea

[jonesthecurl]

we regulate cars, planes, boats, toys, food, medicine, drugs, electricity, housing, hunting/fishing, access to public land, water / water use, voting, sound, light, money transfer, etc.

Every aspect of life is already regulated.

In the modern world, where people don’t personally know everyone who lives within 30 miles of themselves, it’s impossible to escape regulation.

Why are guns different? Why do they need less/no regulation?

guns already have regulations.. no clue where you are getting the idea I said anything about Less or No regulations.. ( but I am talking to you & you prefer to just make up things I said... )

so if your intent is to injure or kill as many as possible.. which would be a better inanimate object to use.. ?
A) a AK-47 with a full 30 round clip
or
B) a Ford F-150 with a full tank of gas...
?
obviously the Ford F-150 would be the better more lethal choice.. so shouldn't the F-150 be regulated equally if not more then a AK-47...?
like say..
1) if you have a Felony you cannot buy or own a F-150...
2) you must pass a background check before being allowed to purchase a F-150..
3) you need to be at least 18 years old ( or in some states 25 years old ) in order to purchase or posses a F-150

the AK. It was designed to murder efficiently. If cars were better than guns at murder, people would use cars, since those have purposes beyond murder.

you only have 30- rounds.. so you only have 30 shots..
you can run over people in a f-150 for hours on end with a full tank of gas..

if you want to argue " but you can reload the AK".. well you can also fill up the F-150's tank of gas again..

think about this scenario. you are on one side of a NYC sidewalk w/ a AK fully loaded with 30 rounds.. I am on the other sidewalk on the other side of the street in a F-150 w/ a full tank of gas.. at noon you start shooting & I stomp on the gas..
who is likely to injure or kill more people...?
me.. obviously..

guns have a purpose beyond murder genius.. they are also used to defend yourself... from being murdered..

You do seem to be obsessed with running people over - your first thought on the legalisation of wacky mushrooms was "people will drive down the pavements playing pac-man".

You aren't necessarily going to be killed with your own gun, but the percentage of gun-owners who are shot dead is three times higher than those who are not gun-owners. The study I saw (and admittedly it was a while ago, and I don't have access to it), specifically stated that it had not considered such questions as whether the gun-owner was a criminal, or bought a gun because they were in a high-crime area - and that therefore those might well be factors. Nevertheless, the statistic seemed remarkable enough to merit attention. It would be interesting to know if the study was repeated, with these broader questions taken into account.

No... don’t pay attention to statistics!
It’s flawed, ignore it, it is obviously fake news!

... in other words pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

See what. you’re saying requires a little nuance to understand.
You’re not saying “this one study said this, so let’s ban all guns”... you are saying “this study found some interesting data... let’s look at this more”.

The problem is Nomad will only hear the first part... and the Gun Lobby works with Congress to prevent Federal dollars from studying gun violence.

So... we’ll keep our collective heads in the sand.

This thread in a nutshell:

who is likely to injure or kill more people...?

Also, your negative tone hurts my mellow... so I’m done.

ok he's done

Wed Sep 11, 2019 6:05 pm

and so I’ve made my point and I’m done.
There’s no sense repeating myself..

O... K.. he's Done again.. "there's no need to repeat myself"..

The problem is Nomad will only hear the first part...

yes I only heard him say he was 'done' the 1st time.. not the second tine when he clearly stated it again & immediately stated there was no sense to repeat himself ( even though he repeated himself... )
then he continues posting after being "Done" twice..

Nomad is unable to comprehend the difference between someone trying to talk to him, and someone talking about him.

how could I not understand the difference. .
1st you were talking to me.. then you said you were Done..
then you wanted to talk to me again. and said you were done again..
then you quoted Curly's comment & was talking about me..
and I quoted 3 of your comments & was talking about you..

it seems.. you are unable to comprehend what just happened.. Jimmy..
