What is better, no guns, or more guns?
LeviF replied to Security's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
A suppressor likely would have melted at the rate of fire he was shooting at. What really would have made it more awful would have been something to hide the muzzle flash. But then that's not even the point. You still can't just walk into a gun store and swipe a card and get a suppressor. Easing the restrictions on them wouldn't allow that still. There are several practical reasons to have one. The USSC has said that personal defense is the primary driver behind the 2nd Amendment. The idea that the founders "had no idea how far firearms would come" is a canard and a bad one at that. -
Gug this would have been better if it had been less believable for you to hate someone for being nice. Fergy still has you beat on the shitpost threads.

Why can't you have sensible immigration policies and attempt to root out the people who are already here?

It sounds like it in the video I've seen. I'm no expert but my guess is multiple converted rifles. Could be bump stock though. Now that I've thought about it more and watched again, I still think it's multiple guns but with cranks. -

You know nothing about use of force. There are very good reasons for a cop to tell a "pinned" suspect that they'll shoot them (choice of words aside). And as always, remember kids: SJWs always lie. -

Supreme Court : Employee Freedom Case

Also in USSC news today: the DC Circuit rejected a request to hear Wrenn/Grace vs. DC en banc. District has 7 days to petition the USSC or they become shall-issue for CCW permits. This creates a circuit split between DC and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 9th circuits. -
Gug I will buy your next five 518 lunches if you do some of this stuff and get it on video

Honestly? No. Stabbing shouldn't be either but like I said upthread, if someone taught the kid how to fight that definitely would be. This. Bullying is hard when you have torn ligaments in your shoulder.

Hell yeah. Don't !@#$in step to him unless you're prepared for what could happen.

lol yea ok

If someone had taught him to throw hands and ground fight a kid wouldn't be dead. Can't say I'm sad about any of it except that this kid will have a felony conviction on his record for the rest of his life. Hopefully he gets a sweet deal from the DA.

So do most cops. Now that body cameras have been implemented in many departments, I'm still waiting for all these videos of unjustified shoots of black folks I was promised -

Well you start with the salaries of public servants like teachers and cops and break it down hourly. I'm not really sure how medical care works for illegal immigrants but I'm sure you could find some way to break it down. You can start getting numbers pretty quickly just from some googling. Won't be the most complete picture, but the fact that education and law enforcement are big parts of those numbers explains why state and local governments bear a lot more of the cost than the feds do. -
Which is most fair and right?
LeviF replied to Kelly the Dog's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Here's the thing: I don't bother citing statistics and facts and such when I encounter a BLM type. You can't reason someone out of an emotional position, so why bother? You can't "strip out" their emotions and replace them with facts. You can only replace their misplaced anger with well-placed shame. And here's the thing: this has only increased with time, not decreased. Information is more readily available, but I think you underestimate people's willingness to believe disinformation (also more readily available) simply because it makes them feel good. Mockery is the only tool against them. This applies generally to SJWs, as SJWs always lie. They have no use for facts, only rhetoric. This, among other things, is a big reason why Trump took the country by storm last November. He fought rhetoric with rhetoric, while Republicans generally have tried to engage in good-faith debate. Republicans played a game that they couldn't win because leftists weren't even playing the same game. Trump played their game, and he played it better. -

Again, the disparities in the commission of violent crimes in white vs. black populations is well documented; that you can't separate that from a population number is your problem. If we go off of the commission of violent crimes, then blacks are actually underrepresented in fatal police encounters. As to sample size and statistical relevance, I think it's hard to say what would be an effective sample when police have millions and millions of encounters with civilians every year. As far as the factors that play into whether or not a cop pulls a trigger, again I'm not sure we'll ever have a good way to measure that because deadly force encounters happen very quickly and involve human minds that have been flooded with adrenaline and what have you. It's remarkably easy to not get shot by a cop. Millions of people manage to not get shot in their encounters with police every year. Close to half a million manage to not get shot while being arrested for a violent felony. The number of "bad" shoots is remarkably small, and those cops are dealt with accordingly (not with "paid leave" like Kaep and BLM like to say). Edited to add: if I recall correctly there were 30 shoots of "unarmed" whites in 2015, but again the use of the word "unarmed" can be extremely misleading to the point of useless. That was more the point I was trying to make by "qualifying" its use.
