olofscience 480 #2 December 21, 2024 You already need a license to drive a car. In the US you don't need a license to own a gun. In Germany, getting a driving license is much more difficult than in the US A car's primary use is transportation, not killing. What's a gun's primary use? Finally, this guy seems to be far-right (AfD supporter). Elon supports the AfD. ONE attack with a car recently. How many mass shootings in the US so far? You seem to be very bad with numbers.

turtlespeed 220 #19 December 21, 2024 Just now, tkhayes said: So you are not going addresses the claim YOU made about laws not working while you simultaneously state that some laws work? -- Address how? Is it not obvious that the laws in place fail to work as intended? thanks for confirming what I said about how you work and the things you do are there effective laws on the books? Yes or no -- Subjective, but no. No law works absolutely. Any law works at least .001% for what it was intended, but that doesnt make it a just law. are there effective gun laws in other countries? Yes or no - - It would seem not when you have to start from a point where no other country, that I am aware of, has a second amendment in their constitution. Quite a few have ultra restrictive laws. Which are anti-freedom. is there a specific reason that some similar laws could not be enacted in the USA to improve gun violence? ---I would rather not improve gun violence - I would rather reduce the violence with personal accountability, education, and experience. I'm not really into denying people their rights. still waiting for you to answer how we are safer in the USA with all the guns and current gun laws here. I notice that you had to go to the trouble of starting a completely new thread to move the goalposts and avoid that altogether --We have the ability to be safer, but the hot spots are not dealt with correctly.

billvon 2,990 #21 December 21, 2024 20 hours ago, turtlespeed said: More mass carrings - Need more car laws You're right! There are approximately 50 cases a year worldwide where cars are used as weapons, killing about a dozen people. Meanwhile in the US alone there are 30,000 gun deaths a year. But since you are upset about the 50 and not the 30,000, let's put more regulations in place. Let's require everyone to get training before they are allowed to drive a car, including how to operate it and how to obey traffic laws. Let's test everyone before they ever get to drive by themselves, so we know they are safe drivers. Let's require a license, and require regular renewals of that license, along with more testing. Let's require insurance for those cars, so that 1) there is a way to pay people who are harmed by your car and 2) provide incentives for you to drive safely. Let's require registration of each car so we can keep track of them for purposes of things like recalls and theft. Let's require BACT safety features in each car, like brakes, pedestrian crumple zones, airbags, horns, brake lights and bumpers. Let's create traffic laws, signage, traffic lights and traffic controls to increase safety. Let's create a police force dedicated to enforcing traffic laws. Let's ban cars in places like the interiors of airports, courtrooms, hospitals etc and clearly delineate where they are allowed to be operated - and be parked. I am sure you will agree that all these are necessary. Then we do all that for guns - and perhaps we can get that US total down to, say, 10,000. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So my statemnet above isnt all encompassing. helping reduce death and destruction is controlling people? Laws are not effective unless they are 100% effective? Which good laws did you speak of earlier that are 100% effective? Providea specific example? If something works 99.9% of the time, it is still not good enough in yhour book? Does that speak of your life and your own accomplishments? A failure because you have never achieved 100% at anything? This is the problem with trying to have a rational discussion with irrational people. Denying rights? Do kids in school have a right to not get shot in the face by a 15 year old with a 9mm? Or is the 15 year olds gun right superior to the right to life? You are in fact being deliberately obtuse and simply trolling at this point. I am out.
