Only in America

I'm sorry cunt. You're all over the place here.

I'm sorry cunt. You're all over the place here.

No problem. I give up. I'm just reading up about weed now.

[pErvinalia]

But that's not true. You're fooling yourself.

The gun violence in cities like Chicago and Houston is widely talked about across various media in addition to mass shootings, which btw occur so often that you're likely unaware of most e.g. shooting at a party in Houston few weeks back.

How would Cunt even know what the US media is reporting? The Cunt lives in Canada.

[pErvinalia]

Oh, you are no doubt right. Police brutality against a white guy didn't piss very many people off.

Because white people don't feel under threat from the police. Black people do.

[Cunt]

Because white people don't feel under threat from the police. Black people do.

You, speaking on behalf of 'white people', just convinced me of the value of your racism understanding.

[pErvinalia]

And you trolling has just convinced me of the value of your understanding of anything.

Getting back on topic, only in America...

Well, yeah.

House Bill 1106 would require gun owners to use a trigger lock or store their weapons in a safe when they know, or reasonably should know, that a child or someone who is ineligible to possess a firearm can gain access to the gun.

The nerve! This is the sort of manoeuvre by tyrannous governments Seth has warned us about for years. Once children, violent felons and mentally deranged people are unable to grab firearms lying about the home, there is nothing left to prevent jackbooted government agents from smashing their way through the front door and bundling law-abiding citizens off to gulags at gunpoint.

[Cunt]

Trigger locks are used in my area, and most of the time when I've been in camp, the combination is the same. Anyone who knows what it is, can use the gun at need.

It's a decent compromise, I suppose.

I know it's usually "guns, babies, and Jesus" in American politics, but this study suggests the Devil may play a large part too.

Peace through superior firepower: Belief in supernatural evil and attitudes toward gun policy in the United States

Abstract
Although debates over guns and gun control have roiled the contemporary political scene, the role of religion has received only limited attention from scholars. We contribute to this literature by developing a series of theoretical arguments linking one specific facet of religion –belief in supernatural evil (i.e., the Devil/Satan, Hell, and demons)—and a range of gun policy attitudes. Relevant hypotheses are then tested using data from the 2014 Baylor Religion Survey (n = 1572). Results show that belief in supernatural evil is a robust predictor of support for policies that expand gun rights. Overall, the estimated net effects of belief in supernatural evil withstand statistical controls for a host of sociodemographic covariates, and, importantly, political ideology. Very few other aspects of religion are associated with any of these gun policy attitudes. Implications and study limitations are discussed, and promising directions for future research on religion and guns are identified.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A 78-year-old woman is in critical condition after she was allegedly shot in the head by her 80-year-old husband early Sunday morning.

Officers responded to a report of a shooting just before 6:30 a.m. near 18th and Dakota Street. Lincoln Police said they found a 78-year-old woman with a gunshot wound to her head. The woman, who has not been identified, was transported to a local hospital where she remains in critical condition, police say.
