Now, with respect to your other comments/sentiment: it's not for you or I to judge/critique the reasons a segment of the population enjoy or choose to purchase guns.

Surely "what falls within the confines of legality" is what is at question here, BS?

Also, it certainly IS "for you or I to judge/critique the reasons a segment of the population enjoy or choose to purchase" anything at all, really, be it America's increasingly deadly gun fetishism, a fondness for heroin or, say, child pornography.

I added an edit to address the latter, Jerky. Scroll back up. And I made it quite clear i'm referring to activities that are legal -- you quoted it yourself from my prior comment. Why are you referring to child porn when I specifically indicated LEGAL 'hobbies'?


As to the former, no -- that's not what I took from 82_28's comment. He's referring to gun ownership -- polishing guns, staring at them, etc.: there's NOTHING illegal about that, nor should there be.
Let them polish and/or fetishize over their guns to their heart's content. It's not the reason we have a gun violence problem in the States.

You realize child pornography was perfectly legal until the early 1980's, do you not? And the market was served. Police and sociologists refer to it as "the 10 year madness".

Dude, I don't know what you're insinuating with that, but what I've posted is nothing you can't learn from Wikipedia, so please refrain from tossing such bullshit shade in my direction, okay? Spare me, and spare yourself, the indignity.

My point, with both replies to you in this context, is that laws change. Circumstances change, and laws - human things, made and enforced by humans - change to fit the circumstances. I personally am not against private ownership of firearms, but there need to be some common sense limits on who can have them, and what they can have.

(I may have misinterpreted your prior comment Re: CP and guns -- I see it as an apples to oranges comparison, however. We can expound on it offlist, though I'd imagine there are better topics worthy of further inquiry)

Indeed - circumstances do change. The factors, specific to guns/gun ownership in America, that are the drivers to these (relatively recent) changes is what interests me.

Common sense is a sound approach -- a growing challenge in an era lacking in it.
(And of course, "common sense" may be applied differently per person, or perhaps, per demographic)


ALSO: Iam is right: we're derailing Elfis' thread. Agree to move it over to the Guns thread, though I'm cutting myself off from this topic in the near-term.

Thanks for your consideration, BelSav. I appreciate it (and our PMs) and am glad we clarified things.

And yes, let's move to Guns (Yawn).

Sorry, Iam!

Once we've noticed we've wandered off topic, it would be discourteous to whomever initiated the thread to continue our wanderings. Peripheral or tangential subjects worthy of discussion should be redirected to a new or existing thread. Surely, a thread must exist, if your topic concerns a long-standing issue. If not, start one.

Anyway, do as thou wilt.

For surely, one day thou, too, will wilt,
whether you've wilt it or not.

Thanks all.

Sorry, SMiles.

Does anyone else feel like reading about the Youtube shooting suspect is like being in a weird dream?
https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/com ... about_the/

So was "a woman shot her boyfriend as the result of a "domestic dispute and other victims were caught in the crossfire" a half-assed coverup attempt by youtube/google/alphabet? Timeline sure looks like it. (self.conspiracy)
https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/com ... he_result/

Working theory: YouTube shooter was a Monarch mind programming victim

MSM in Australia changes skin and eye color of YT Shooter to make her appear more White
https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/com ... lor_of_yt/

This whole thing is a mind fuck, especially that last link.

Maybe this should have been here? Is anyone keeping up with the weirdness?

Addendum (today)
YouTube shooter wasn't Trans, but had Lukan-Fryns syndrome

Grizzly, all your links are dead ends. Take a moment and place them within URL tags so we can view the pages you'd like us to. Thanks.
