Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Mentally ill people bent on assassination will probably be detered by the loss of their ability to purchase certain kinds of weapons.
Good call. Very common-sensy of you.
That's true. And I'd like to do something about that.
Not bad, but not semi-automatic with extended clip numbers.

So as a result you'll ban them everywhere?
That's like the definition of reactionary policy.
doesn't mean their job should be made as easy as possible
someone with enough determination could build a bomb. Does that mean we should sell TNT at the corner store?
"he then stabbed at least 12 people using a dagger (initially reported as a survival knife)[1] killing four people and injuring eight."

Or are we just saying what should be legally obtainable, instead of simply possible to do?
Crazy person who wants to mass murder people will mass murder people. The method chosen will likely just be the path of least resistance.
"SHUT UP FASCIST REACTIONARY!"
If there's no upside to something, but there is an obvious and visible downside to something, it is absolutely something that should be looked at legally. That's not reactionary, that's just looking at the data.

I'll wait.

Ability to defend yourself from a lynch mob.
But then, knives and trucks are both valuable to society, and I have yet to see convincing evidence that 30 round clips are.

So take all the extended magazines from straight white people? Deal.
Seriously, that's ridiculous.

I had to fix this. Lack of intelligence is not going to stop someone with a chip on their shoulder.
Who's freaking out?
This from a guy who just said
Anyone with the internet can figure out how to cook meth. That doesn't mean we shouldn't regulate access to the stuff that goes into it.
Just because steps can fail to prevent bad stuff doesn't mean they shouldn't be taken.

One of those situations actually fucking happened and resulted in widely touted federal regulations. The other is a ridiculous hypothetical that involves an armed man and an apparently unarmed lynch mob.

Are a swarm of deer attacking?
Were there mass shootings from extended mag guns when said mags were illegal under the previous assult weapon bans?
We need to pass legislation to restrict truck rentals!
This neo-feudalism would be more tolerable if our betters had fancy titles.
If the goal is to stop shootings like this one then there is little evidence it would do much.
This is getting off topic, this isn't a gun control thread.
course its in arizona where I'd rate the difficulty in getting a gun slightly higher than a library card

Toooooooootally isolated!
Also, does anyone else hear the isolated guy's lines in H. Jon Benjamin's voice or am I just excited for the Archer season 2 premiere tonight?
Make a gun thread.
It appears we're done here.
