Didn't they know that people are better off if they don't have to worry about stupid things like liberty potentially interfering with the next episode of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo?"
TBH, gun deaths in the US are a drop in the bucket and I prefer liberty to a false sense of security. YMMV, especially when people start screaming "for the children."
If Europe and Australia are any indication, violent crime actually goes up following crackdowns on private ownership. Gun crime goes up. Murder rates don't go down.. So following a gun ban, you and your family are no less likely to be murdered, but significantly more likely to be victims of violent crime and/or gun crime.
No thanks.
Roughly about 1/3 accidents, 1/3 suicides, and 1/3 deliberate homicides. Dwelling on massacres like Sandy Hook is not really a good idea for many reasons.
That's what I've been saying the whole time. It's simply not statistically significant.
In the United States, individual income tax refunds arrive during the second quarter.
Duh.
Some people have planned expenses in the second quarter that they plan to pay using their tax refund.
This is largely people who suck at managing their finances. In which case, an interest free loan is probably not the worst of their financial problems anyway.
In order to make an investment that substantially beats the short-term interest-free loan to the government that is the status quo yet continues to meet the use case of second quarter expenses, the money would have to be earned and invested throughout the year and withdrawn in the second quarter.
Again, this is a failure in financial management.
So what investment should one use between the day when one doesn't make the loan and the day in the second quarter, less than 12 months ahead, when the expenses come due?
Diversified investments of varied liquidity with the minimum amount of money in Chase savings accounts possible.
You stop gaining meaningful interest on it from the moment it lands in your bank account.
So keep as little as possible in that account.
You're not saying what you think you're saying. You're pointing to poor financial management skills to indicate that making interest-free loans in the thousands of dollars is a good idea. That's patently absurd.
Doubtful it was bulletproof. Probably just an easily pierced tactical vest. And even if it was bulletproof, it's not pain proof. I can't see this coward continuing his rampage with a few broken ribs.

Why is this modded "flamebait?"

'92 LA riots.
UK doctors are actually pushing to outlaw pointy kitchen knives.
The murder rate if you're not a nigger in a gang is comparable to that of the UK.
Do you really think the liberty of millions of Americans is worth twenty children?

And the fact that nearly its entire operation is built around the recoil.
"For the children," the root password to the constitution.
Filter error: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING.
Hell, I lost the key to my Taurus years ago. But it's never been locked, so no worries.
I generally avoid pointing loaded guns at my head and pulling the trigger.
Same reasons people do it every day the world over.
It's not the people on slashdot shooting people.
He should have put at least one of the parts in a safe.
You. I like you.
Personal liberty is no longer as important as it once was.

That's an utterly useless set of statistics on its own.

They had much lower death rates before they restricted them.
