At some point though, you’ll learn to like anything if that’s where the friends are.

This post was about AI? I really never would have guessed.

Here’s a question for you: In what ways has panicking about things that you cannot control helped you in the past?

Not with that attitude.

I really don’t believe either of those things will do anything at all.

One difference there is that guns have only one purpose.

People can get hurt during an accident while using a tool, but for a gun, something gets hurt every time it’s used as intended.

I don’t think we should be using power tool regulations for guns.

My list of suggestions for regulations does not mean that some of them aren’t already in effect.

As for the rest: ok.

Shit. Maybe Elon actually was on to something, this dude definitely sounds like federal waste.

Da fuq?

I’m not against gun ownership, but it needs to be regulated.

Compare it to your car. You need to prove your ability with a test, carry your license with you, register your vehicle, and in some places, it must pass an annual safety inspection. We do all this just to get to work and back, but I can stop at one of many stores within 10 miles of my house and buy armfuls of military hardware designed to do nothing but kill.

Handguns, shotguns and hunting rifles are all you need. Small magazines, no burst or fully automatics. Everything gets registered.

Some extra context: There are a LOT of areas in the US that are rural enough that wildlife is a serious threat, and hunting is a sustainable option for meat. It makes no sense to tell those people they can’t have one.

I think I’ve only ever seen 2 or 3 places in my life that didn’t have physical menus. I didn’t walk out of the ones that didn’t, but I haven’t been back to any of them.
