Fuck knows. Why isn't a useful question.

"What can we do to stop it?" is a more useful question.
Move to Switzerland.

You don't have the right to own an AR15 here, just as much as I don't have the right to rape your wife there.
It wouldn't make any difference if you did have the right. It seems she is so much in demand that your turn would never come round anyway. :|

Oh, I don't know - I think there are reasonable steps I can take to alter my risk profile.

Exercise.
Don't eat crap food.
Wear my seatbelt.
Don't drink and drive.
Don't invest in pyramid schemes.
Carry a gun.

Yes, as a matter of public safety Z will have to surrender guns.

So, an innocent person, one who has done no wrong, has to give up his property becuz you feel his ownership of that property makes you unsafe?

As a matter of public safety why don't you start carrying a gun and protect the public?

Wanna ban those?
Let’s just start with guns for now.
What an idiot - try walking into a school armed with Logic. Mathematics. Science. Philosophy. Computers. and kill 100s of kids.
This is exactly what happens. They are killing the kids with 'boredom'.

It is not necessarily being armed with those 'things' that are killing the kids. It is the way those 'things' are taught, which is REALLY killing most kids, with 'boredom'.

Hey "skipdick" just to be absolutely CLEAR here, are 'you' REALLY 'trying to' argue and/or fight for the right to own and/or carry a gun?

No, I am not. If you have to fight for your rights they aren't rights.

I'll gladly fight anyone trying to take my rights away though.

There is playground A and playground B. Both playgrounds are for 10 year old kids and they spend a year in their allotted play area.

Which out of playground A or B is likely to have more deaths?

Playground A has no guns. Playground B has every type of gun available to the kids within the playground.

Over the year Skeppy, indeed the years that these playground setups exist, which of A or B is going to have the most murders?
Your are supper confused about what it is that you are testing for.

Your scenario is testing for accidents, not murders.

10 year olds are not legally capable of committing murder - they lack criminal capacity.
In what country and/or society do 'you' actually live in "skepdick"?

Seems like a fair trade-off, given how I've stopped two attempts on my life so far 🤷‍♂️
How many guns did they have? I bet you feel like an American hero. :lol:
Fuck heroism - I am just a dude going about his life.

Think of a gun as a tool of persuasion. It works much better than arguments and rhetoric at making people stop doing whatever it is they are doing.

This is a scientifically verifiable fact.
Are 'you' here suggesting that the best way to persuade 'you' to stop doing the Wrong that 'you' DO "skepdick" is through the use of a gun?

No. I am saying that guns are effective "OFF" buttons for humans when all else fails.

And just so it happens switching people off when they are trying to harm you seems like a good idea.

Since the start of this year 10,124 people in the USA have been persuaded to never answer a question again...ever.

Fuck you're smart.
Now imagine what that number would've been in a world with swords instead of guns...

Do 'you, REALLY, want to LOOK AT and USE 'statics', "skepdick"?
