      A medical invalid is the least offensive use of the concept in recent years. Politically, it was a worthwhile thing too, a literal political assassination attempt is worth making a big deal out of.

        >you may just need to move somewhere that better matches how you want to live
        How people want to live is "not having a chance of their children being murdered at school" or "being afraid to represent left wing politics because you might be murdered by a right-wing schizo radicalized on Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones".

        If you don't have a good solution to the above, then society is probably going to slowly and eventually decide that freedom to go to school safely and freedom to engage in political discourse outweighs freedom to plink with ARs.

          It seems like your idea of a perfect world is just one that you rule and choose who to oppress, I'm pretty sure nobody else wants to live there.

          Your opinion on pretty much anything can be disregarded if you support a reign of terror on those you disagree with. Especially when the qualifying crime for being victimized in your world is advocating society-centric policies.

        You're just arguing that gun control shouldn't happen. You've got your reasons, that's cool but unless you have a solution to school shootings that works, gun control is going to happen.

        Solve school shootings or you're going to get the solution you don't like.
        Threatening to ape out over it isn't going to help and it is certainly not going to play out like you imagine.

        As an Australia, I can say that you're being simple-minded. Guns don't cause school shootings. In the US before the 1960s, you could have a gun mailed to your home with absolutely no questions asked, and these mass public shootings were almost unheard of. There is far more gun control now, yet these shootings are more common. The biggest school massacre in US history (Bath school bombing) didn't involve guns. You have a mental health problem, and more broadly a problem with your health care system. You have entire generations of young men who have no direction in life, have been raised with no values or strong national identity, and then people act surprised when they fly off the handle.

          You're just arguing that gun control won't solve school shootings. I think you're probably wrong but it's so hard to prove one way or the other that arguing about it is pointless.
          In any case, it's irrelevant to what I said.

          Whether successful or not, unless gun owners effectively advance a policy that solves school shootings, gun control will become inevitable. Even if it turns out not to achieve the same result.

          If you want to keep gun rights, you need to find an effective policy to solve or massively reduce school shootings and you need to campaign on it to get it implemented.

            That's not what I said you dingus. Even if you could make every gun disintegrate spontaneously it wouldn't solve the core issue with your society. Guns don't make people homicidal maniacs. If psychos don't have guns, they'll use explosives (ala Bath school disaster or Timothy Mcveigh).

            If you actually want to stop the mass murders perpetrated by juveniles, fix your society. Fix your health system, instill strong values and morals in your kids, and actually offer them support when they need it.

          Either way, all I'm doing is saying that you shouldn't misrepresent your opponents if you want to effectively campaign against them. You're intent on doing this though, to democrats and to anonymous posters both. You're a waste of time and electrons.

                Actually not, they're not really the problem.
                They'll keep their guns very quiet, not show them off to anti-social nephews so that they can be taken to school.
                What some guy does quietly with a few trusted buddies in the woods on a Sunday morning or a hunting trip isn't the problem.

                The guys you talk about aren't ever going to shoot up a school, they're going to lose their guns in boating accidents and have some new patches in the lawn that smell faintly of cosmoline before the heat dies down and they go back to slightly more discreet versions of their hobby. Well, most of them. The ones that would be a problem will fail to keep their mouths shut, boast on social media and discords and resist loudly and get gunned down by cops early on but even they aren't really the problem.

                The problem is the edgy teenager with rage issues and they're not going to easily get their hands on illegal firearms so that's the problem solved, more or less. Some will but they're the outliers, most school shootings are done with retail purchased firearms.

                Over time, there'll be attrition as some people hand in inherited guns and gradually the problem becomes smaller but the black market isn't what the mothers will be worried about.

                This is going to happen because an increasing number of committed people want a solution and you have no alternative.

                Not that anon. There are plenty of things that only have solutions which violate rights. For instance, we can solve world hunger for instance by killing off a sufficient segment of the population which consumes the most and produces the least food.

                Can these things happen? Sure. Are they things that tilt the fabric of the social contract into despotism? Yes.

                >This is going to happen because an increasing number of committed people want a solution and you have no alternative.

                Americans are advised to not give up their gun rights unless they want to end up like the kulaks. White Americans are being set up for a holodomor and the rest are scheduled to be enslaved. Given BLM I guess its considered tradconservative among blacks to be slaves. This wont be like your great great great grandpappys days of cotting picking, you will have a chip in your brain ensuring that you will obey silently without any uppity outbursts. Da ovaseeh will be a greasy guy with a remote control.

                Its the same gang of foreign parasites running the show in America as it was in the early Soviet Union, and remember, there are no innocents in this kind of warfare, and the americans who worships them (literally millions do) or assists these foreigners in exchange for money (literally millions do) are even more worthy targets than them. Leave no one living from the ranks of traitors and alien parasites, neither man, woman or child. Its brutal, but necessary unless you want a repeat 20 years later when they have recovered from their first attempt. This is the grim lesson of history.

            No, you're misunderstanding what I've written to make a strawman argument you can attack.
            This is /misc/-tier debate and one reason why you'll never have an impact.

            I argued that some civilians are criminals, which is undeniably true. You choose to misinterpret that saying that all civilians are criminals.
            Either you're just very stupid, which I can't rule out, or you're dishonest.

            Either way, all I'm doing is saying that you shouldn't misrepresent your opponents if you want to effectively campaign against them. You're intent on doing this though, to democrats and to anonymous posters both. You're a waste of time and electrons.

            and I don't 100% agree with you.
            I don't think the gun control position is based around all civilians being potential bad guys, I think it's based around not knowing which civilians are going to turn out bad and therefore, restricting access to all of them.

            Which is an "unfree" position certainly but in the absence of a workable solution from the gun rights side, is what society is trending towards.

            If we don't want to end up with gun control on everyone, we need a better answer to school shootings than "all of them"

          I see this said occasionally by people like JD Vance but it's always these schizo fundamentalists and right-wing demagogues that have been caught out in lies and exaggeration many times.
          There's never any actual witness accounts, charges, memoirs, police complaints...you know, actual evidence that usually exists when something is true.
          Why haven't any of the so-called victims spoken up?
          It just smells like a typical conservatard nothing-burger where they make random accusations and you're just supposed to believe them because of course people like this do things like that.

            He was good friends with and seen often around Alan Ginsburg, an open NAMBLA member.
            The scene of Harvey Milk was big time Michel Foucalt, another pedophile.

            I mean its not a big leap. And naming a ship after him is a national embarrassment not unlike rainbow flags on public buildings and men in dresses in the Pentagon.
            Its a national disgrace and bad for morale.
            How are those recruitment numbers?

              So I was right, there's nothing. There never is with you people. You can't tell the difference between prejudice and evidence.
              It's why you get taken in so easily by the most obvious grifters, they play to your hate and fear and you swallow it up.

              If knowing two pedophiles made you a pedophile, everyone in the GoP would be a pedophile.

    To this day I still don't understand why we need corvettes and more importantly, why couldn't call them as such.

    She isn’t one of the first batch is she? Because those ended up being beta tests for the later hulls and now that the Navy seems have gotten what it wants from them they’re getting retired. Hate seeing that but I also understand why it happens.

      This thread was always intended to be /misc/ bait, that's why they chose the Gabby to open the thread and not a general discussion about Independence class or literal combat ships in general.

      It's nice that deck guns are being taken more seriously than slapping on the same old 5 inch and 25mm guns, but if it ain't Salem's Revenge, I don't really care.

        Build double ended missile cruisers on San Antonio hulls with ~300 VLS cells and two autoloading 8-inchers. Fricking cowards.
