US, 57 times as many school shootings as the other major industrialized nations combined - https://edition.cnn.com/2018/05/21/us/school-shooting-us-versus-world-trnd/index.html
Repeal the 2nd Amendment. Get rid of State ‘gun laws'. Make REAL National Laws, strictly enforced.
> According to a report by the National Journal, some Republicans reportedly wanted the NRA to take a stand so they could have political cover to vote against it.
Snowflakes.
Once there was a thread at /r/askreddit or maybe other similar sub asking about what is the most circlejerked thing on reddit. I ctlf+f "gun", "guns", "firearm" and I couldn't find any. So I thought I'd be that person who said it and I did. Lo and behold, 20 minutes later my comment was at -10 or something lower than that. Another 5 minutes later I started getting called names and people telling me how it's not circlejerked. I was confused and didn't want to deal with the vitriol so I deleted my comment.
With how many non US visiting (about 50%) this site, I thought the view on guns would be split, but it's totally a landslide in favor of guns. I wonder why.
and the international evidence overwhelmingly agrees.
Reducing the availability of guns, most especially handguns, to the general public makes everyone much more safe. Other countries have crime, many at similar levels to America, but the availability of guns means that crime is much more often fatal to the victim in the USA.
Its also a proven statistic that "Having a gun in your home significantly increases your risk of death — and that of your spouse and children." and also that
Guns don't offer protection – whatever the National Rifle Association says
We rate this statement "Pants on Fire"
Bunny Friend Park
>Bunny Friend Park is named in honor of Joseph E. Friend and Ida Weis Friend's son, Bunny, who died at age 18.
>Ida donated $4,000 to a fund to create a playground in memory of her son, and the fund grew into more than $10,000. She also donated a block of land to the city between Gallier and Desire streets. The playground established there was named Bunny Friend Park, and two of the the streets bordering the playground were later officially designated North Bunny Friend and South Bunny Friend.

I'm not an American, but I seriously think you people should consider taking your country back from the assholes that do this sort of shit in your country.
I just point out that the term “small arms” wouldn’t exist if large arms didn’t, and it’s not a neologism.
Adam Smith eh? Here's some pasta from Wikiquote:
>Our merchants and master-manufacturers complain much of the bad effects of high wages in raising the price, and thereby lessening the sale of their goods both at home and abroad. They say nothing concerning the bad effects of high profits. They are silent with regard to the pernicious effects of their own gains. They complain only of those of other people.
-Wealth of Nations Book I, Chapter IX, p. 117.
>A man must always live by his work, and his wages must at least be sufficient to maintain him. They must even upon most occasions be somewhat more, otherwise it would be impossible for him to bring up a family, and the race of such workmen could not last beyond the first generation.
-Wealth of Nations Book I, Chapter VIII, p. 81.
>No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the greater part of the members are poor and miserable. It is but equity, besides, that they who feed, cloath and lodge the whole body of the people, should have such a share of the produce of their own labour as to be themselves tolerably well fed, clothed, and lodged.
-Wealth of Nations Book I, Chapter VIII, p. 94.
>All for ourselves, and nothing for other people, seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind.
-Wealth of Nations Book III, Chapter IV, p. 448.
>For a very small expence the public can facilitate, can encourage, and can even impose upon almost the whole body of the people, the necessity of acquiring those most essential parts of education.
-Wealth of Nations Book V, Chapter I, Part III, Article II, p. 847.
>Wherever there is great property, there is great inequality.
-Wealth of Nations Book V, Chapter I, Part II, p. 770.
>The letters written by Michael Dunn, the man accused of the first degree murder of Jordan Davis, have become controversial. In them, Dunn shares his perspective regarding the state of race relations in Jacksonville.
>The State Attorney's Office released the 156 pages of court documents from the State Attorney's Office, including evidence logs and letters Dunn wrote in jail.

I don't know about WND, but the white supremacist site Stormfront has been known to have been actively targeting reddit for at least a year now (Link to an archive.org copy of a relevant Stormfront discussion.), and you can bet that lots of similar efforts from other less tolerant places have been going on as well.
> Some of that funding has given the NRA a direct stake in gun and ammo sales. As Bloomberg noted in it's January article, Sturm, Ruger & Co. launched a campaign to sell one million guns, and promised to donate $1 of each purchase to the group. Since 1992, MidWay USA, which retails gun supplies including ammo and controversial high-capacity magazines, has allowed its customers to round up each of their online and mail orders to the nearest dollar, and automatically donate the extra to the NRA. Together with other companies that have joined the effort, MidWay has helped collect more than $9 million for NRA. MidWay's owner, Larry Pottfield, also happens to be the the group's largest individual donor.
>And again, what's an "assault rifle"? That's a made-up media term, so can you please define it?
Let's play a game I like to call Google searching, it'll determine which of us is right. Let's try Google Images and let's look for "assault rifle advertising". Oh look, I was right all along.
>2.Self-defense is NOT bullshit. There are hundreds of thousands of instances on a yearly basis of self-defense happening in this country, and a couple of them even managed to get covered by the media.
Oh, I'm sure there are. Unicorns and dragons also exist if you just close your eyes and believe with all your heart.
>3.Actually, no. [blah blah blah wall of text]
Sounds like you can still buy guns. Dry those tears, manbaby, not everyone gets exactly what they want.
>4.No, by media I mean literally the news media. The gun manufacturers do NOT use the term "assault weapon" in any of their marketing.
Do we need to play the Google search game again?
>5.And why do you keep resorting to insults to try to provoke an emotional reaction from me? Are you arguments really that weak that you're having to resort to name-calling?
You come to a pro-gun control subreddit to complain about your inability to get enough signatures to stop gun control. Were you expecting sympathy? Maybe a tiny shoulder to cry on?
I wouldn't trust any random armed citizen to stop a shooting, especially if they aren't regularly practicing with their firearm. I would feel safer having an NRA instructor live next door like in this case or having trained armed security.
Violent crime and property crime has been dropping for the past two decades, and I do strongly support background checks and preventing dangerous/irresponsible individuals from obtaining guns to continue this trend. That said I think those who live or regularly work in dangerous/lawless parts of the country should consider doing extensive training and arming themselves for their own protection
Yes, here are some other fun facts about Crazy Uncle Ted. That is the name my Republican buddy calls him. So yeah, even his own team isn't real big friends of his.
False equivalence. Comparing the New England Journal of Medicine to the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy is like comparing an elephant to a frog. Google Scholar has 2,820 references to the HJLPP, and 1,470,000 references to the NEJM. 500:1 difference. So, no they are not equal, not even close!
>There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
The bible says:
"the adulteress shall surely be put to death" [Leviticus 20:10]
"If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die" [Deuteronomy 22:22]

People don't seem to realize that capitalism didn't exist yet when Adam Smith was writing. At the time, the economy was essentially feudal lords and self-employed craftsmen. While there was workplace hierarchy in the free craftsmen's workplaces due to the system of apprenticeship, those apprentices had the full expectation of one day becoming master craftsmen in their own right. Capitalism resembles serfdom with a lifetime of workplace decision making coming from above on to a mass of laborers, not the life in free cities. Smith forms the foundation of Ricardian socialism and later Mutualism, the left wing market anarchist tendencies. Corporations of the time were royally chartered where their power over people was more obvious. They are still granted extreme power, but the process is streamlined rather than requiring individual acts of government to create. Classical liberalism has been completely distorted. If you look at the forwards in modern copies of The Wealth of Nations written by modern authors, what they say contradicts what Smith actually wrote!
Too many action flicks and severely overestimated abilities granting a false sense of security.
In short, a fundamental attribution error where one perceives themselves as far more competent than some other hypothetical person.
You still are asking for a specific answer to a general question. That is an impossibility.
Google scholar returns 3,450 hits when searching on papers from Dr. Kellermann.
Please narrow down your question specifically.
> Are you starting to see how the people involved might have been a little out of their element here, and how their (unquestionable) expertise in medical matters might not lend credibility to studying what is primarily a sociological issue?
No. Not at all.
We awarded this first place for accidental mass shooting of the year, because as far as we know, it was the only accidental mass shooting for the year.
Late entry caught our attention, credit to /u/reeds1999.
The best news story I could find.
GrC's official staff photographer took the photo of Todd, which can be found here.
It does beg the question.
Last edit in openstreetmap on the road segment is question is over 5 years ago, so yes, I am guessing it has been called that a while.
Many air guns are training versions of firearms. Same weight, controls, and action to allow for more effective practice in operation.
Which is why it's best to follow the same safety rules for air guns that are applied to firearms.

The gun manufacturers started using the term Assault Rifles in the early 80s to sell semi-automatic AR style rifles to wannabe weekend Rambos.
https://www.amazon.com/Guns-Ammo-Assault-Rifles-Sporting/dp/0822722348
Then we passed laws in the 90s using the term, and suddenly the tiny peened gun community got their panties all knotted up, and tried to change the meaning of the word they had already been using to market their boom-boom toys.
You can know with 100% accuracy that you are dealing with an overcompensating gun nut when he wants to debate the meaning of the term Assault Rifle.
> Also what is an assault style rifle?

All gun owners in Germany were Nazis? What does that say about gun owners today? Gun owners are Nazis? Wow. Keep diging that hole.

Did you even read my link? It was a take down of the author and his "research" in this book.
Not only that, an Amazon store link isn't really a source of info.
Not exactly. Nazis and Nazi sympathizers did nothing to stop the holocaust after anyone not a Nazi or that was Jewish or otherwise considered by the Nazis to be undesirable (gypsies, minorities, gays, etc.) was disarmed.

I read this book Kill All Normies which examines how toxic online culture was morphed into alt-right extremism. It was almost natural how one flowed into the next.
