If the SR-71had an odometer, it would have ticked over miles more slowly than we add to the SEPOTD tally.
Or you could just shorten it to “derp”. Still with no loss of content.
Tick.
Why not take it somewhere else, both of you threadshitting fuckwipes. This thread would not even be up to 2000 posts without your damn pissing match.
Are you paying for either of us to post, pigfucker?
it seems to be working
Yes, the number are quite small. But the overall death rate for Americans remains comfortably below one percent up to around age 50. A small number of people die each year, so maybe the gun problem is trivial because it is a part of a small fraction of the population (die-ers).
What number of preventable deaths do you find acceptable? Damuri insists on that same argument, but can’t do any more than define what we have now as acceptable. Acceptable to whom, too, while you’re at it?
Tick. Galactus JAQIng off again.
Don’t answer him until he answers this question: How many times in your life would you have murdered somebody if you’d had a gun, ElvisL1ves?
You’re wasting precious bandwidth that could be used for pictures of cats with guns.
Fair enough.
Deaths are not really the issue for me. There are two issues AFAIC. The first is that guns make people stupid. A rocket scientist or a CERN physicist has their intelligence level reduced by having a gun at hand. Granted, automobiles, televisions, mobile phones: guns are not the only thing that make people stupid, but just about every other thing is not specifically designed with destruction in mind. This is a problem.
The second issue is the underlying causes of gun violence and preventable deaths. Why do some people crave guns? I believe the primary factors are economic in origin. Societal imbalance and arbitrary financial pressures fuel the anxiety and paranoia that makes people feel the need to arm themselves in the first place.
So, the preventable deaths are lamentable, but they are just a symptom of a much larger snarl of bad shit. Unless that gordian tangle is addressed in a meaningful way, the problems we have with firearms cannot be made less bad.
Remember the guy who believed in the conspiracy theory that alleged that Democratic operatives were running a child sex trafficking ring through a Washington D.C. pizza parlor and then went there with an assault rifle and squeezed off a few rounds? Yeah, that asshole.
He won’t be online for the next Four years.
The NRA is apparently calling for a civil war against liberals.
I saw that. Gun sales must be down – time to gin up some fear and hatred!
No, they are calling for right wing propoganda (i.e. their truth) to counter left wing propoganda (i.e. your truth).
Well, that was unsettling. 
“Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”
Tick.
Here’s one that qualifies for this thread, and also for a Darwin Award. A young Minnesota couple, seeking YouTube fame, decided to try using a book as a bullet-proof vest. It did not go well.:
They did not use a little pea-shooter for their stunt; she shot him with a .50 caliber Desert Eagle.
She’s currently out on bail, on a second-degree manslaughter charge.
She needs to take a pregnancy test first if we are going to award a darwin award to her boyfriend.
Would that have even worked with a .22?
People sometimes don’t realize just how much force a bullet has behind it.
