Stop deflecting from the problems with your posts using a persecution claim, which is orthogonal to the objection by dang. Puffing up your chest with self-righteousness about the "right-libertarian" bias of the news guidelines doe

The problem is that some people are going to make the argument that it's about what the tool was designed to do. At which point they're on the idiotic knife ban bandwagon.

Ah, but they are weapons by any reasonable definition if used to harm another person. No one is saying that we need to ban water or skirts, only have some common sense regulations on them. There's no reason that someone should have a l

You might not think that a skirt is a lethal weapon, but there's an entire family of martial arts that trains to use it as such.

Somehow I doubt work would be willing to relax their weapons policies so that I could bring in the training weapons that sit in my car.

No, the comment was about the source of the driving force of the effort. Even if there are regular people who share the same sentiment, the fact is that the effort is being coopted by those special interests. Have you heard of the term &quo

In some ways the Dickey Amendment empowered them to push the false narrative of a strong relationship between guns and crime. Rather than having to put forward quality studies for their political purposes, they could just handwave at the le

Self-defense is only successful if you kill the attacker? That's a disgusting and inhumane perspective.

No, you don't. You can do anything that a power tool can with an unpowered tool.

Next step, get funding from Bloomberg to push legislation that makes those "smart guns" required to price regular people out of gun ownership.

Did you also measure the quality of your sleep, circadian timing, and next morning alertness as well? You're missing out on a lot of the relevant metrics. Edit: See the studies - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=213

I would be fine with being able to select which "fair decisions" to train them on.

For some, yes. One has to have the cognitive ability to separate the messenger from the content.

That's a lot of assumptions. 1. The people can keep track of a card for 10 years. 2. They can afford to pay 20-30 Euros for something they only use for voting, since apparently they aren't involved in any other part of civic life

So what are the numbers for per capita gun ownership in pre-Mao China? There's no point in saying there's no gun control and then ignoring how many guns are owned by the people.

"It is just poorly coordinated." Another spherical cow statement. The coordination makes all the difference. As a trivial example: an area could be covered in CCTV, but that's significantly different than if they all feed int
