You can run and point a gun backwards/shoot in their general direction.

They definitely do on the most important issues, however they continue to be impartial on the issues that don’t hit mainstream media (Fox Business Network)
Who would have guessed the bribe takers are all for bribes…
Okay, you just killed a cop. What do you think happens next? Do you think its over and done with, just go home for the day? No, you are, at best, going to be arrested and put on trial for murder. It doesn’t matter if you were justified or not. And when they arrest you, it will be at gun point. So, will you let them arrest you at gun point or will you start shooting the police again?
You’re also assuming your some badass who will walk away without getting shot also or in any way injured. Not to mention the emotional toll of killing someone has on most people.
Yea, it isn’t hard to beat someone on that though…
Actually some countries with the highest suicide rates have decent gun control. Japan isn’t in the top 10, and South Korea is the Asian country with high suicide rates and has strong gun control. Here are the 2024 countries with the most suicides per 100k, and the USA/Japan for reference.
Lesotho 72.4
Guyana 40.3
Eswatini 29.4
South Korea 28.6
Kiribati 28.3
Micronesia 28.2
Lithuania 26.1
Suriname 25.4
Russia 25.1
South Africa 23.5
#23 USA 16.1
#25 Japan 15.3
Here are the estimated guns owned per hundred residents
Lesotho 4.8
Guyana 15.8
Eswatini 4.8
South Korea 0.2
Kiribati 0.8
Micronesia 0.7
Lithuania 13.6
Suriname 15.9
Russia 12.3
South Africa 9.7
USA 120.5
Japan 0.3
I would need to graph this data for every country and year over year to see if there is a correlation. It would be hard to extrapolate especially considering so many different cultural beliefs on suicide and gun control/ownership.
Also, part of the 21st…
I definitely would not have, but it would be nice.
I’ve got a family member who was a LIFETIME Republican, he now shocked everyone by saying he won’t be voting for Trump no matter what. And if it looks like Trump could win he would vote for Biden.
I’m sure he isn’t alone in these feelings, and Fox want to rile up their voters.
It was hilarious hearing another family member being shocked and arguing why Trump is the only reasonable vote. When my newly never trump family member kept rebuking every argument, they finally said, “well you sure have an answer for everything, don’t you?” I’m sitting there just thinking, yea no shit, wonder why that is…
I’d imagine a major city would have noticed immediately. I’m sure Boston gets several hundred calls an hour.
And you’d be panicking either way
Call me cyclical, cause this keeps happening!
I know what you mean, but it’s protected as part of the first amendment under free speech.
Hey, I think they were being sarcaaaaastic /s
Edit: I actually didn’t realize either.
Yup, I worked a call center for a minute during covid. It shocked me how often people said we’d be hearing from their lawyers. At that point we informed the caller all further communication would have to be through their and our attorneys and we could no longer discuss the issue with them. This wasn’t an evil or adversarial company in the least, it was closer to an advocate for those impacted economically at that time.
Every accusation is a confession.
Hatch act only applies to some members of government…
This goes away further than a thought
Like rampant uncontrolled inflation due purely to corporate greed?
Dumb luck happens, plus could hit an innocent bystander. It’s honestly a shit situation all around.
