Think of how hard it would be for the New World Order to focus with a couple of pints in them. Wouldn’t be able to get the jackboots on. Have to wear jacksandals or jackcrocs.
I heard over the radio that some gun nut shot himself in the ass in a movie house, then stood up, excused himself, and left.
Hrmm?
Hrmm all you want, that has virtually nothing to do with what I just talked about. A dry county is basically a county where you can’t legally sell alcohol, either in a store or a restaurant/bar or both.
In the context of dry counties “off-premises” refers to supermarkets / beer distributor stores / liquor stores selling alcohol for you to take home. “On-premises” refers to drinking establishments that sell alcohol to be consumed on-site.
No, my point was that in probably the entire United States it is illegal for me personally to sell beer out of my private fridge to a friend of mine for $10. I don’t know of anywhere in the U.S. where you can sell beer or liquor without a license, even in “wet” counties.
So my point was that:
-
You could add a requirement that only licensed gun dealers be allowed to sell firearms, akin to the requirement that only licensed alcohol purveyors sell alcohol.
-
Those laws create situations like I mentioned above, in which the law is basically meaningless because it is unenforceable. Namely in scenarios in which one individual is just selling something to a friend, one time, in small quantity.
See? An armed society is a polite society!
Win!
In Japan, where guns are generally a non-issue since ownership is pretty much prohibited, there are still cases of mass attacks resulting in high numbers of injuries and deaths. Guy with a knife and a bad attitude plows his truck into a crowd and then stabs 17 people before being taken down. At least seven dead, and all without the benefit of firearms.

Sixty mass shootings in 30 years in The States. How many mass plowing-a-car-into-a-crowd-and-then-get-out-and-stab-everybody’s have there been in Japan in that time?
I couldn’t find the stats for 30 years, but here are the executions for multiple murders since 1999 - that’s 13 years:
I count 60 "multiple murder"ers executed. And that’s those that were put on trial and sentenced to death (how many were killed at the scene?). This number excludes the cases where murders occurred while on parole for another murder.
In what possible way is this:
a response to this:
No kidding. If we want to add in your general run-of-the-mill U.S. multiple murderers, I’m pretty sure we’ll come up with a few more than 60.
and we could always compare the intentional homicide rate to determine whether it’s more dangerous to live in Japan or the US (barring particularly susceptible demographics).
Japan comes in at 0.4 murders for every 100k citizens a year. The US comes in at 4.2.
