No, that wasn't what your argument was about, it was what you were thinking when you wrote it. Your argument was about the NRA making sure nothing ever changes, and something about ridiculous claims. We can't read your mind.
"But whatever. I guess you're beyond logic if you think the second amendment has any use in modern society beyond wildlife management." Shall we apply this to the first? The fourth? The eighth? I'm pleased to know you're opinion in favor of overturning constitutional amendments is so easily obtained. Let's get rid of them all.
I would venture to say the decrease in households is probably more aligned with more people moving to Urban locations than anything else. I'm spitballing here, nowever. I'm too lazy to look for stats on this. Most Urban locations have much tougher restrictions on gun ownership/usage. Live in the woods of Colorado: Likely have a rifle. Live in downtown LA, probably not nearly so likely.
I guess I better tell my sister not to go to that NRA sponsored gun safety class, as she's just a tool of the manufacturers. Hell, I should tell my nephew not to take driver's training either, he's playing into Ford's massively brilliant plan to sell more vehicles. Damn companies.
I'm curious, as the ranges in my area of California specifically deny the use of Steel/steel core bullets due to fire hazard from possible sparking on rocks. I"m wondering if the same rules apply in Northern California.
And here is the problem. When LEGITIMATE issues re: gun control arrive, they are written off as ILLEGITIMATE as most gun control suggestions are merely annoyances contrived to make gun usage so onerous as to be impossible. Say, for example, that some crazy guy down the street, who regularly holds up signs warning of the coming apocalypse, suddenly started a fundraiser for a neighbor who was going through cancer treatment. Would you be more or less likely to help him out based on his earlier actions?
I used to drive this way, stressing about everyone merging in front of me. Then I hurt my leg and had to play easy with the clutch, and started planning stop and go freeway traffic based on not changing gears and maintaining a steady speed. I started ignoring everyone merging in. You know what? Same time home every day as before. For everyone that merged in, someone merged out. Constant speed required less stop and go, and evened out in the end.
Yeah, I'd have to agree. All things lead to power. However, I've always secretly felt that pride was the reason for obtaining power, but that's just my take.
So you're saying that the Chinese standard of living increased drastically from when you were a child to when you were an adult? People remember things from long ago. You need to extrapolate on that. I still remember my uncle warning me about travelling on trains in Japan, because people would carry human waste in buckets for the fields. He was there in 1946.
Uh, no. You underestimate the Thai king's power. He's a special case. Legally, he's a figurehead. However... If, for whatever reason, the current King stood up and said "I want all politician's heads on my porch by Thursday, in a big square pile", they would be there Wednesday night. I"m not kidding, Thai people would mostly kill for this guy.
Because they're bored, and enjoy taunting people on the internet. They just choose the taunts based on the situations,and what they think will annoy the original person the most. I'm guessing, for a good portion of these, the subject matter didn't matter.

Yet the NRA offers gun safety courses to teach precisely that.

Your "common sense" is my "made up nonsense".
Common sense tells me you're wrong.

The people in Afghanistan don't feel safe from anyone at this point, including other Afhanis.
Sounds similar to techforless.com, in Colorado Springs.
I've bought oddball stuff from them in the past.
I've been building my own systems since 1995, and I'd never heard of them.
It's odd, my father was an aerospace engineer dealing in hydraulics and fluid dynamics, and he was forever saying how little they knew.
It would seem , from above, that the proper solution is to use Medical Marijuana to stop Climate Change. Somehow.
"megablizzard versus (fill in the blank)".
Sounds like a Syfy movie of the week.
Yes, yes, novels.... sure....
May I suggest we all go back to Sortition-government by elected officials chosen by lottery?
I believe the correct answer is 2.

I dunno. The French had the Little Prince on one note, I thought that was rather cool myself.
