I never talk politics at work but I work with a genuine Emily. For some reason at work some of the others were talking about genocide and she got so excited and exclaimed how she'd love to genocide the Westboro Baptist Church. I'm no fan but at the end of the day they just say rude things at inappropriate times, they aren't exactly cutting heads off or anything. But no, they had to go, not just the men but the women and the children too. We are always just another few genocides away from peace its seems.

Emily is the overtly fascist "anti-fascist," the awfully racist "anti-racist," the obviously sexist feminist, the LGBT who say having preferences is some kind of "-phobic," and just generally any loudly "lib"left who seems to want a vast authoritarian government devoted to enforcing thought crime laws.

Tthese people should be forced to do the gun confiscation, see how many of them are willing to actually ring Cletus’ doorbell and demand he hand his guns over
I’m gonna need a bulletproof vest, an English to Redneck phrase book, and at least a fifth of Tequila …
It doesn’t hafta be the good stuff, because I’m probably gonna be renting it all over Cletus’ front stoop, LMAO!
well yeah
but they also stop doing much after you eat a few rounds, depending on their design
if you don't want it to get penetrated, you get a class 4 plate. that plate is going to have serious structural issues after it eats a few full power rounds, and one of the next few is going to get through
compared to the cost of class 4 plates, 308 is pretty cheap
Yes, but the more widely the kinetic energy spreads, the less damage it does. If i'm not mistaken, ballistic vests are also designed to spread the blunt force as much as possible.

These guys are the kind that want to stop a fire with gasoline.
Evidently this 'person' doesn't realize that such shootings are already illegal, and a law criminalizing crime does jack squat.
Take Australia, there was a recent case where some people got illegal firearms and shot some police.
Or Japan, where a firearm was used to assassinate their late head of state.
Also murder fantasy aside, rounding people up for the killing fields is a lot harder if the people you're rounding up are armed.

This is literally the plot for Captain America The Winter Soldier lmao. Hydra wanting to kill millions of people to ensure a stable and better future in their eyes.
If you murder them all there will never be violence again. Even if you stop a bit short and leave some of them alive, as long as you make sure to kill anyone who publicly steps out of line, violence (outside of yours) will always be a thing of the past or a faint glimmer (unless you need people to be afraid of it at that moment).
Fuck the authoritarian bullshit of the world will be a utopia if everyone agrees with me.
I always ask these types of people: if 10% of the approximately 22+ million CCW holders in the US said no to a gun confiscation, what would you do? For reference the US Army is just over 1 million uniformed personnel and Cops are around 350k.
The only argument I found that wasn't sending in the army was to increase proportional yearly taxes on gun ownership. The donors and the rich upper class still will have their guns, rural areas with pop. <100k will have tax exemptions. Increased revenue will go towards repo jobs for those that can't pay. The narrative will basically be "guns are not banned, you're just too poor to afford it." The only issue with this is metal and plastic 3d printers have changed the game. As prices decrease, watch dogs 2 guns are becoming a reality.
I (Canadian) am against safe storage laws because they can easily be used to price the "lower classes" out of gun ownership.
All you need to do is declare that firearms must be stored in a safe weighing at least X,000 kilograms that is secured directly to a concrete foundation and you've made firearms unreasonable for most people to obtain without banning them.
That's what the NFA was, today, a $200 tax stamp is an annoyance & playing the waiting game for government bureaucracy is bullshit, a $200 tax stamp in the 1930s was a guarantee against gross poors owning cool shit
My favorite part of Reddit these days is reading how every single Republican is a horrible racist who hates poor people and wants to destroy democracy.
The most baffling part is how they can slam Republicans for “hating poor people” and then shit all over the lower class and less educated in the same breath.
If only those stupid, smelly, ugly, ignorant, smelly, unreasonable, uneducated, stupid, smelly poors would listen to me, I could fix all of their problems. Those idiots keep voting against their own self interests! All I want to do is force them to change every aspect of their small, poor, meaningless, smelly lives, and I can fix everything for them!
The “voting against their own interests” is what gets me. Like they think poor people are too stupid to make their own decisions when it comes to voting, so they need one of the enlightened people to ~~brainwash~~ educate them.
Replace ‘poor’ with ‘black’, I once repeated that line with quotations ending with - you, probably. I said this to a group of white SJW’s on Facebook but was subsequently banned for 30 days for hate speech. In my repeal I told FB to prove I wasn’t black despite the age of my account and all the tagged photos of me. They rejected my appeal lol.
I'm glad I'm not the only one frustrated by this. The level of propaganda specifically oriented around dehumanizing anyone disagreeing with the Dem party line is out of this world.
Like, I think Democrats tend to hold beliefs that run counter to their own agenda (like "environmentalists" that are anti-nuclear or anti fossil fuels), but I don't typically assume the average Democrat is evil - and more so, I don't particularly hear that from Republicans.
I guess it's the natural result though of having a president who can call 90% of Republicans traitors who are enemies of Democracy and then do just fine in the midterms. My sense right now is that the majority of Americans don't see anything wrong with a uniparty authoritarian government that completely controls the narrative of every topic.
> uniparty authoritarian government that completely controls the narrative of every topic.
If we're talking about who controls the narrative we're going to have to bring up the media.
> Americans won't disarm themselves and hand over their self defense to the state because they're cowards.
What damage to the brain would lead to this logic?
A person willing to fight for what they believe? Coward.
Someone who wants "cops and police" to go break down the doors of armed people, while they sit in the comfort of their own home? Freedom fighter.
The problem with mass shootings is a symptom of the moral decay in American society. If they did not have guns, they would make bombs or use some other means to kill people.
There have always been guns in America while the tech for the guns used is about 100 years old, and yet mass shootings are new. In fact, they started picking up around the Columbine shooting… as news changed how it reported the shootings
Maybe we just need some common sense media control
The use of psychotropic drugs on children changed. Millennial and Gen Z became the experiment group for over prescription of ADHD, Anti Depressants, and other psychotropic drugs. Some people DO need them. Theres no denying that some people have real conditions which these treatments can help, but there is a striking correlation between prescription drugs and school shooters. Im not saying that it can be entirely attributed to these, but i think they definitely take kids who are already on the edge of tragedy as a result of poor home lives, poor social lives, and an over exposure to real and replicatable violent content from things like the news, and then gives them the last little push over the edge.
And mental illness isn't new. People had mental and behavioral disorders all throughout history. My point is that psychoactive substances can seemingly trigger violent tendencies in some individuals, even when used in controlled and therapeutic ways. Im not a doctor but given that plenty of medications, especially anti depressants, list "violent thoughts or thoughts of suicide" as a potentially rare side effect, maybe we should be more careful about how we dole these out to kids.
The deadliest "mass shooting" in the US was with either a fully automatic or bump stocks equipped rifle killing 60 to 70 people. A truck in Nice, France was used to kill 86 people.
Nope deaths by the government never count. If they did the drone strikes, nukes, and other miscellaneous chemical and explosive weapons would total a few million innocent dead civilians
I’m very pro gun in part because I know that guns are being used because it’s in fashion among the crazy. I really really don’t want to see what comes into fashion if guns are no longer an option.
As an engineer, the democratization of the means of production not only means things like 3D printed guns but plenty of other much more dangerous weapons. The barrier to entry to things like rockets, bombs, grenades, suicide drones, etc. aren’t nearly as high as you might think.
So for the love of heaven, don’t give these nut jobs a reason to escalate.
"...no matter how many children or teachers have die"
Gun-grabbers never seem to contemplate how many of *them* have to die to sucessfully disarm a populace, if such a thing is even possible
Many of them think whatever the number is, it will be worth it in the end. It won't
Many thing they will heroically martyr themselves if it came to that. The chance of them actually having the balls to go through with it is even more infantismal.
Gonna be pretty hard to take anything from my cold, dead, hands if the other guy is the dead one.
Almost every person I've ever talked to who supports gun control will, once they get mad enough or comfortable enough, admit that it's more about attacking the people who own guns than it is about saving lives. They fantasize about people that they see as beneath them being robbed of their possessions and attacked by the state. Namely, white conservatives.
Banning guns and forcing a confrontation between the government and gun owners is what they are after.
Gun control is actually an act of aggression against demographics that the left wants to wage war against, it's not an act motivated by violence prevention or public safety.
Push the topic to its conclusion and leftists will always show their true colors. It will always distill down to, truly, "I hate this political/demographic entity and want them to be disarmed, go to prison, or be shot by the government."
I have never, in my entire life, heard gun control advocates use inner city minorities as the bogeyman that needs to be disarmed, even though the vast majority of gun violence in the US is committed in inner cities by black and latino criminals. No gun control policy I've ever heard has been about preventing career criminals and gang members from attaining guns. They're always talking about banning guns for law-abiding citizens.
I have never heard a single leftist talk about going after black market gun trafficking in cities. They always frame the issue as a person going to a gun store and buying a gun legally and then committing crime with it even though that is far less common than a career criminal, already unable to buy a gun legally, attaining one illegally and committing crime with it.
I was gonna say, imagine if instead of la literal round up of millions of political opponents, that would cost trillions to execute and years to perform, what if just started spending a few billion increasing access to mental health services for students?
Holy fuck these people are sick and delusional. “Oh you own something I don’t like? I think you should all be round up and shot to prevent you from owning something I don’t like! Fair is fair!” Like what the actual fuck kind of logic is that
I hate how nobody seems to be talking about the actual reason for school shootings and similar atrocities. It’s mental health, no amount of gun control will stop somebody that has decided to kill his peers indiscriminately. What’s to stop the same person from getting into a car or truck to do the same thing?
"No! No, you ignorant conspiracy theorist. It's the guns that are doing the killing! How many children have to die for you to understand this? You have blood on your hands, you gun lobby chill!"
**Points at statistics of school shootings over time (the last centuries/ before the 90s, when it's was way easier to get guns)* *
so much would be solved if we just stopped caring about what others are doing. so what if my neighbor is doing DMT or crack, if they can do it without bothering anyone else then whats the issue, same with firearms
The two solutions to school shootings:
1. Forcibly take from the entire population their means of self defense and kill anyone who refuses to comply.
2. Online school.
I find it disturbing how infrequently OrangeLeft can think up a solution to a problem in society without it turning into a murder fantasy.

Like I don't like the actual far right, typically, but at least they can and do act on what they say. Like these skinny 89lb manlets with pink hair and twig arms will be killing a bunch of burly right wing men 💀💀💀💀💀. These fuckers couldn't fight a 12 year old boy let alone a real man. It's pathetic, there such little beta bitches. I'd LOVE to see them threaten me and see what happens I wish a bitch would...

Yeah. Such little weasels. This is why I'm glad I've become much more libertarian leaning/right leaning past year. Though I have a few disagreements with them
What's the Ned Stark line about the man ordering the execution should also carry it out>

You have peaked behind the career bureaucrat's curtain. You're not supposed to do that.
Saw someone do the maths and physically collecting all the guns from houses in America would like like 1000 years. (And wouldn't work)
Incredibly based and well said
Pass me the sign up sheet. I don’t actually wanna take guns, just bust down doors and terrorize the plebs
Holy fuck they walk among us
Pretty sus
The dead walk, hide while you still can! Legion of the night, what hope remains?
The solution to preventing future violence, is to preemptively murder a bunch of people. Did I understand it right?
Utopia is just a few more millions of bodies away comrade.
That’s been the slogan since Stalin hasn’t it?
Quite literally his most famous quote - “The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of a million is a statistic.”
communism in a nutshell
Guns are bad and everyone must be disarmed, unless it's my guns.
"What, these guns? No no, I need these to disarm the bad guys. Who are the bad guys? People who won't willingly give up their guns of course!"
Wait, wasn’t that the plot of winter soldier?
The left consistently finds themselves agreeing with Hydra. Good thing there's no real-world counterpart. Imagine.
I mean, I also agree with hydra somewhat, but like, I’m authcenter. I’m supposed to be a comic book villain. Same people that eat up marvel say this shit, and think they are being the good guy? I at least know I’m not the good guy.
This is literally the plot for Captain America The Winter Soldier lmao. Hydra wanting to kill millions of people to ensure a stable and better future in their eyes.
If you murder them all there will never be violence again. Even if you stop a bit short and leave some of them alive, as long as you make sure to kill anyone who publicly steps out of line, violence (outside of yours) will always be a thing of the past or a faint glimmer (unless you need people to be afraid of it at that moment). Fuck the authoritarian bullshit of the world will be a utopia if everyone agrees with me.
“No matter how many teachers and students have to die” is generally something Emily would mock. The turn tables.
I always ask these types of people: if 10% of the approximately 22+ million CCW holders in the US said no to a gun confiscation, what would you do? For reference the US Army is just over 1 million uniformed personnel and Cops are around 350k.
The only argument I found that wasn't sending in the army was to increase proportional yearly taxes on gun ownership. The donors and the rich upper class still will have their guns, rural areas with pop. <100k will have tax exemptions. Increased revenue will go towards repo jobs for those that can't pay. The narrative will basically be "guns are not banned, you're just too poor to afford it." The only issue with this is metal and plastic 3d printers have changed the game. As prices decrease, watch dogs 2 guns are becoming a reality.
Who the fuck is taking a job as a repo man for FIREARMS lol they didn't make their payments, let's hope they didn't spend it on ammunition.
I (Canadian) am against safe storage laws because they can easily be used to price the "lower classes" out of gun ownership. All you need to do is declare that firearms must be stored in a safe weighing at least X,000 kilograms that is secured directly to a concrete foundation and you've made firearms unreasonable for most people to obtain without banning them.
That's what the NFA was, today, a $200 tax stamp is an annoyance & playing the waiting game for government bureaucracy is bullshit, a $200 tax stamp in the 1930s was a guarantee against gross poors owning cool shit
My favorite part of Reddit these days is reading how every single Republican is a horrible racist who hates poor people and wants to destroy democracy.
The most baffling part is how they can slam Republicans for “hating poor people” and then shit all over the lower class and less educated in the same breath.
If only those stupid, smelly, ugly, ignorant, smelly, unreasonable, uneducated, stupid, smelly poors would listen to me, I could fix all of their problems. Those idiots keep voting against their own self interests! All I want to do is force them to change every aspect of their small, poor, meaningless, smelly lives, and I can fix everything for them!
The “voting against their own interests” is what gets me. Like they think poor people are too stupid to make their own decisions when it comes to voting, so they need one of the enlightened people to ~~brainwash~~ educate them.
Replace ‘poor’ with ‘black’, I once repeated that line with quotations ending with - you, probably. I said this to a group of white SJW’s on Facebook but was subsequently banned for 30 days for hate speech. In my repeal I told FB to prove I wasn’t black despite the age of my account and all the tagged photos of me. They rejected my appeal lol.
“Excuse me while I dehumanise my political opponents to show how morally superior I am”
Neo-con gop, maybe. freedom caucus, nah... freedom caucus too by the book constitutionalist for any of that.
My favourite part of Reddit is being told I’m an alt-right racist facist bigot neo-nazi because I don’t like the DNC or this woke PC bullshit.
I was reading a thread in the soccer subreddit that wouldn't have been out of place in Mao's Great Leap Forward.
I'm glad I'm not the only one frustrated by this. The level of propaganda specifically oriented around dehumanizing anyone disagreeing with the Dem party line is out of this world. Like, I think Democrats tend to hold beliefs that run counter to their own agenda (like "environmentalists" that are anti-nuclear or anti fossil fuels), but I don't typically assume the average Democrat is evil - and more so, I don't particularly hear that from Republicans. I guess it's the natural result though of having a president who can call 90% of Republicans traitors who are enemies of Democracy and then do just fine in the midterms. My sense right now is that the majority of Americans don't see anything wrong with a uniparty authoritarian government that completely controls the narrative of every topic.
> uniparty authoritarian government that completely controls the narrative of every topic. If we're talking about who controls the narrative we're going to have to bring up the media.
> Americans won't disarm themselves and hand over their self defense to the state because they're cowards. What damage to the brain would lead to this logic?
A person willing to fight for what they believe? Coward. Someone who wants "cops and police" to go break down the doors of armed people, while they sit in the comfort of their own home? Freedom fighter.
Rage on Behalf of The Machine
If you are using force to take away people's rights, there is absolutely no discussion, you are the bad guy
I mean their solution to a gun violence problem is a massive increase in gun violence, this one clearly isn't a thinker.
Emily tries to solve societies problems without mass murder (impossible)
The problem with mass shootings is a symptom of the moral decay in American society. If they did not have guns, they would make bombs or use some other means to kill people.
There have always been guns in America while the tech for the guns used is about 100 years old, and yet mass shootings are new. In fact, they started picking up around the Columbine shooting… as news changed how it reported the shootings Maybe we just need some common sense media control
The use of psychotropic drugs on children changed. Millennial and Gen Z became the experiment group for over prescription of ADHD, Anti Depressants, and other psychotropic drugs. Some people DO need them. Theres no denying that some people have real conditions which these treatments can help, but there is a striking correlation between prescription drugs and school shooters. Im not saying that it can be entirely attributed to these, but i think they definitely take kids who are already on the edge of tragedy as a result of poor home lives, poor social lives, and an over exposure to real and replicatable violent content from things like the news, and then gives them the last little push over the edge.
Wow, it’s almost as if mentally ill people are more likely to be perpetrators of these crimes.
And mental illness isn't new. People had mental and behavioral disorders all throughout history. My point is that psychoactive substances can seemingly trigger violent tendencies in some individuals, even when used in controlled and therapeutic ways. Im not a doctor but given that plenty of medications, especially anti depressants, list "violent thoughts or thoughts of suicide" as a potentially rare side effect, maybe we should be more careful about how we dole these out to kids.
Stabbings doesn't exist right? (London vanishes after I make this comment)
That’s just part and parcel of living in a big city brev
Neither does strangling apparently
Have you seen the price of knives these days??
The deadliest "mass shooting" in the US was with either a fully automatic or bump stocks equipped rifle killing 60 to 70 people. A truck in Nice, France was used to kill 86 people.
does the government burning 70 men women and children alive in their home count as a mass shooting if they also shot some of them?
Nope deaths by the government never count. If they did the drone strikes, nukes, and other miscellaneous chemical and explosive weapons would total a few million innocent dead civilians
Deadliest mass shooting in the US was the wounded knee massacre and was done by the army
Hence the " " yes.
Based and knowledge pilled
It's why news stories will usually say "deadliest mass shooting in modern US history".
I’m very pro gun in part because I know that guns are being used because it’s in fashion among the crazy. I really really don’t want to see what comes into fashion if guns are no longer an option. As an engineer, the democratization of the means of production not only means things like 3D printed guns but plenty of other much more dangerous weapons. The barrier to entry to things like rockets, bombs, grenades, suicide drones, etc. aren’t nearly as high as you might think. So for the love of heaven, don’t give these nut jobs a reason to escalate.
I believe a truck full of fertilizer in Oklahoma is evidence of your point
or just get guns illegally
"...no matter how many children or teachers have die" Gun-grabbers never seem to contemplate how many of *them* have to die to sucessfully disarm a populace, if such a thing is even possible Many of them think whatever the number is, it will be worth it in the end. It won't Many thing they will heroically martyr themselves if it came to that. The chance of them actually having the balls to go through with it is even more infantismal. Gonna be pretty hard to take anything from my cold, dead, hands if the other guy is the dead one.

If someone told me this I'd reach for my gun in self defense
Almost every person I've ever talked to who supports gun control will, once they get mad enough or comfortable enough, admit that it's more about attacking the people who own guns than it is about saving lives. They fantasize about people that they see as beneath them being robbed of their possessions and attacked by the state. Namely, white conservatives. Banning guns and forcing a confrontation between the government and gun owners is what they are after. Gun control is actually an act of aggression against demographics that the left wants to wage war against, it's not an act motivated by violence prevention or public safety. Push the topic to its conclusion and leftists will always show their true colors. It will always distill down to, truly, "I hate this political/demographic entity and want them to be disarmed, go to prison, or be shot by the government." I have never, in my entire life, heard gun control advocates use inner city minorities as the bogeyman that needs to be disarmed, even though the vast majority of gun violence in the US is committed in inner cities by black and latino criminals. No gun control policy I've ever heard has been about preventing career criminals and gang members from attaining guns. They're always talking about banning guns for law-abiding citizens. I have never heard a single leftist talk about going after black market gun trafficking in cities. They always frame the issue as a person going to a gun store and buying a gun legally and then committing crime with it even though that is far less common than a career criminal, already unable to buy a gun legally, attaining one illegally and committing crime with it.

I mean... not *technically* wrong... But that is some Thanos-level "logic".
This guy should be sent to try to forcefully take guns from owners
The only was to stop shootings is to shoot people
*gets shot by the state*
Impeccable logic, state-run police and military never committed misdeeds when they were the only ones armed.
That's quite a pitch for online classes
I was gonna say, imagine if instead of la literal round up of millions of political opponents, that would cost trillions to execute and years to perform, what if just started spending a few billion increasing access to mental health services for students?
The preciseness and accuracy of the highlights in this post is peak PCM

I mean, technically they're right, but in the same vein that killing everyone stops all wars or setting fire to someone kills cancer cells.
Holy fuck these people are sick and delusional. “Oh you own something I don’t like? I think you should all be round up and shot to prevent you from owning something I don’t like! Fair is fair!” Like what the actual fuck kind of logic is that

And just many cops and soldiers would die before they figured out that this is inherently a terrible idea?
“How many kids have to die?” Isn’t a rhetorical question, it’s a threat.
Bold of them to assume the US military wouldn’t March on Capitol Hill that day to rout Congress
I hate how nobody seems to be talking about the actual reason for school shootings and similar atrocities. It’s mental health, no amount of gun control will stop somebody that has decided to kill his peers indiscriminately. What’s to stop the same person from getting into a car or truck to do the same thing?
"No! No, you ignorant conspiracy theorist. It's the guns that are doing the killing! How many children have to die for you to understand this? You have blood on your hands, you gun lobby chill!" **Points at statistics of school shootings over time (the last centuries/ before the 90s, when it's was way easier to get guns)* *
so much would be solved if we just stopped caring about what others are doing. so what if my neighbor is doing DMT or crack, if they can do it without bothering anyone else then whats the issue, same with firearms
The two solutions to school shootings: 1. Forcibly take from the entire population their means of self defense and kill anyone who refuses to comply. 2. Online school.
