Most don’t exist: > Using FBI active shooter data (excludes gang violence), there were 85 non-gang-related mass shooters in the US from 2021-2025 (24 in 2024, 48 in 2023, 13 in 2022, ~0 in 2021; 2025 data incomplete as of Sep 14). There

Thanks for the apology, I assure you I absolutely believe what I write. I’m not sure if I have an answer one way or the other - I’d like it if I could buy milk in NY without someone threatening violence, and don’t think it’s right for jihad

What ideology? I thought we were having a civil discussion of how the UK compares to the US. The US has a lot of violent cities, I live in NY (in a very good area) and there’s still more street violence than you’d expect in a similar area i

Racist hiring is designed to pick less qualified people based on race. It is right to call out racism. The quiet part is you seeming to support it.

He was really kind to people that didn’t vote his way, consistently, on video. Posting him quoting the bible doesn’t change that. And part of being kind to people is letting them know when they make choices that aren’t in their own interest

I had two terrorist attacks on my neighbourhood (London bridge) and one on the way to work (Westminster bridge) in fifteen years. If they tried stabbing people in Texas they’d have been shot.

Sure. I lived in the UK for 15 years, and have lived in the US for 2. In London, someone grabs your phone, threatens to take your watch with a machete, or tries to rape your child. In New York someone marches down the street wanting to punc

He then immediately said he was joking and this kind of violence was obviously awful. I don’t think it was funny, but it’s worth completing the quote.

He did care about lives. Allowing some evil from gun deaths is the price of allowing a population to arm themselves. At the time he made the point that allowing some road deaths is worth allowing the population to drive. It doesn’t mean he

I disagree with him about gun ownership, but he didn’t want to disarm in order to prevent all gun deaths. He made the point at the time that we don’t take cars off the road to stop car deaths. It’s a reasonable point. Re: DC national guard,

It sounds like you’ve never watched any debating, whether at a world class university, parliament, or a high school. They’re no greater or lesses than Kirk’s debates were.

> Trying to use the audience to corner someone is not debating. No but having the student admit objective morality exists is debating. You know this. I know you know this. You know the audience reaction is to the person losing the point

That’s the most obvious reason of his statement. He also said “I prefer sympathy”, but you omitted that.

But the person didn’t point out hypocrisy. Charlie would rather some amount of unnecessary gun violence in exchange for having the population be able to defend themselves.

He means lets not disarm ourselves for evil. Not that evil is OK, but that some evil may occur due to not disarming. I disagree with him on guns, but that is the point.
