I know it's hard since you have built your personality around it and without guns, everyone becomes stridently aware how uninteresting you are but it's necessary for society so deal with it.

Your snowflake feelings aren't more important than innocent lives, loser

Am I supposed to blame them for the civilian deaths and not the ones dropping bombs on hospitals, refugee camps and escape routes?

The personality part is aimed at people that think having easy distribution of weapons is justified by their choice of hobby(not hunting but gun range).

You can't kill a crowd of people with a bow.

The current ownership restrictions can be used for hunting. Anyone that clearly isn't fit to use it doesn't get to. The difference is it's not sitting in someone's closet where an innocent child, angsty teenager or jealous spouse can just pull it out. If you're in the middle of a psychotic episode, the guy at the counter just won't rent it to you.

You aren't getting real responses because we've heard it all before. They are weak arguments, as if you didn't know the simple difference between a bow and a gun.

So no, it's not complex. Guns are dangerous, they are being misused. The negatives of everyone having access to them outweigh the benefits by a huge amount. Ban them.

I need to specify fuck all gun owners because everytime, one comes out of the woodwork talking about how he likes the hobby and he keeps his gun safe. Well his hobby is leading to unnecessary deaths and he should grow the fuck up. If you want to eat meat without the factory, raise it, bow it, trap it, fish it or go vegan. People don't deserve to die because of some snowflake that only eats wild game or some loser that built his whole personality on aiming a stick.

That being said, there is an easy compromise; no private ownership of guns. You want to have fun shooting clay pigeons, rent the gun at the range. You want to spend time with the boys shooting hogs, rent the gun at the hunting ground. But it's a non starter because that takes away the whole power thing and that's the real reason people are so obsessed with the damn things.

The access isn't as easy at all. It's also the culture though. Nobody buys guns for fun or to show off, they aren't toys, there are barely any gun ranges and you don't bring your kid to it.

You maybe have a gun for hunting, it isn't an assault rifle and you only pull it out when you do go hunting.

Have you ever seen anyone arguing against mental health help? Only one of the two solutions you mentioned has a bunch of idiot fighting against it.

You also can't make mental health illegal overnight. People are born with mental health issues, it's not something they buy at the store or grab from their fathers closet.

Ban guns, ban guns now. Fuck gun culture and fuck all gun owners (even the responsible ones)

I understand your point, but everytime I see someone pointing at mental issues, it just seems to be like they will point at anything except the guns. We can thoroughly take care of the more complicated part of the problem once the easy part has been solved and they are killing childrens with knives instead of bullets.

Less than a dollar per kg! I think that's honestly the most impressive part.

What about the third option, everyone gets to have the power?

I've seen what Marvin Gaye and Conan Doyle's relatives have done with the power. Dump it in the creative commons. Nobody should own the tonalities of a voice anyways, there quickly wouldn't be any left.

What do you think "someone who has no legal right to be there" is a reference too? When would a citizen not have the legal right to be in his own country? How often have you heard of a citizen being deported from his own country? It's literally against international law.

I think it's a bit more complicated than that. This could pave de way to getting rid of a lot of handicaps and diseases, not to mention fdvr. I care about monkeys, I just care more about paraplegics for instance.

Really easy to see where this is going.

"open source image synthesis technologies such as Stable Diffusion allow the creation of AI-generated pornography with ease, and a large community has formed around tools and add-ons that enhance this ability. Since these AI models are openly available and often run locally, there are sometimes no guardrails preventing someone from creating sexualized images of children, and that has rung alarm bells among the nation's top prosecutors. (It's worth noting that Midjourney, DALL-E, and Adobe Firefly all have built-in filters that bar the creation of pornographic content.)"

Paid software that can be reined it so it doesn't compete with Netflix and disney is fine, the open source stuff is satan spawn.

The easy solution would be to go after the ones that distribute the pictures, this is only about keeping the gravy train going.

There's different ways to automate it. There was a thread a while back where someone outlined their system. He kept the free Spotify account and had a script that checked it every week for his new recommended playlists, then it would download it automatically. He used an other software to host the library.
