I'm guessing you think the police should handle things. Cops are great at carefully analyzing a crime scene. They will photograph and tag your body, odds are they will even catch your killer. Luckily you will not be alive and don't have to worry about your concern of accidentally being shot. The police have a much worse record than CCW holders. About 11% of police shootings are wrongful and kill an innocent person. By comparison about 2% of shootings by citizens kill an innocent person.
Yeah, I can't argue that this isn't extremely fucked up. These two are just from the past month: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-0uqFTBclohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jhEY_NfXJUOk, I'm delusional. So says the guy who thinks he can win a gunfight without a gun.
There are no winners to be found in a gun fight, only survivors. One comes away alive and a murderer, possibly with PTSD and/or serious physical injuries, the other dies. Both lose a great deal. All participants in violence have already forfeited their humanity. You're not delusional, you're deluded. Others have caused this affliction in you and you are not to blame for it. |

I find it hard to believe that someone with a legendary status would not know the answer to this question...
Legendary status means nothing, it's just a dick length indicator on this forum. Can confirm, "senior member" and have slightly above average length dick. |

The only thing I don't understand about it is the price . Its 260 now, and in 10 minutes it got pumped up to here.
Hpw in the world does this happen ?
Same way it will rise to 2600 later, and 26,000 some time after that, and so on. |

The way a person (ab)uses language reveals a great deal about the way they think. That's my point.
I had no idea I was abusing the language by correctly structuring a sentence. But anyway, what would you do then? You see someone shooting up a mall or whatever, what response do you have? I suppose you could show them some statistics or tell them how you think America is mentally ill. Me, I will be in a position to end this. I hope I never have to put a bullet in some deranged psychopath but I would not hesitate to do so if needed. If you were there at the mall also you would give me anything and everything to save you. The only thing in the world that would matter to you is my gun. You're living in a self-indulgent paranoid fantasy land if you think owning that gun is ever going to mean you get to play american hero and save a bunch of folks from a shooting spree. Statistically, this is so improbable that it's simply not going to happen. It's revealing that you would choose this example in your argument because the fact that you think this way about your gun is self-delusion. It's a false sense of security, a childish clinging to control over your life (and death) in a world in which that's nigh impossible. This is the problem with american gun mentality. "oh, I need this because I could get robbed or a burglar could come into my home!" but you'll notice these people never seem to know the burglary rate of their town, or any other relevant facts and statistics about gun ownership in the place they live. It's a tool for which you have no relevant use, a tool you bought so you can create a certain identity for yourself. That gun is part of who you are. You are no different from suburban white high school nerds who get their mom to buy them a cheap replica sword at the county fair because they "need it". You don't need it. You're never going to need to fire it, and you know it. The sooner you admit this fact to yourself, the better.  |

So I wear a seat-belt and a gun just in case. He wears, not carries, his gun, just like his seatbelt ladies and gentlemen. Just to be safe. Because they are both safety instruments that protect you. That's why it's the same. Get it? Just as bullets and and kevlar vests are the same. Just as shields and swords are the same. Just as a wall and a battering ram are the same. Ignorance is strength. I also sometimes carry a flashlight and always carry a first aid kit in my car. Oh and I very rarely wear my kevlar vest. I'm not sure what your arguing now? Equivocation on the word wear? The way a person (ab)uses language reveals a great deal about the way they think. That's my point. |

So I wear a seat-belt and a gun just in case. He wears, not carries, his weapon, folks. That's important, because its for safety. Because they are both safety instruments that protect you. That's why it's the same. Get it? It all makes perfect sense. Just as bullets and and kevlar vests are the same. Just as shields and swords are the same. Just as a wall and a battering ram are the same. Attacking and defending. Ignorance is strength. War is peace. |

there is a video, showing how an unarmed guy gets robbed with a simple knife it could not be any clearer that a firearm would have been a gamechanger, resulting in a dead piece of scum and dry pants BUT STILL the gunhaters come out and write horseshit, it is incredible  Firearms held by both people... would have resulted in 2 dead bodies. QFT This is what we get in exchange for our gun culture: NSFW! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-0uqFTBclo NSFW!Some folks (especially Americans) seem to think that their AR-15s are a guarantor that they can resist tyranny. But guns are an 18th century response to 18th century threats to democracy. Capital doesn't need to point a gun at you to remove your democratic rights: it just needs more cameras, more cops, and a legal system that is fair and just and bankrupts you if you are ever charged with public disorder and don't plead guilty. - Charlie Stross |

Bitcoin is the solution to fiat, the solution to the problem of trust regarding money in a capitalist system. You can't trust anyone in a capitalist system, so bitcoin removes trust from the equation with mathematics. One of the best virtues of using observable public math to solve the trust problem is that the old solution, the nation state's solution, is constant systematic theft, and violence whenever deemed necessary. Bitcoin carries within it the seed of a much more transparent and less violent world, a world which we may be fortunate enough to see manifest before our eyes in the very near future. |

Last 2 are irrelevant, first off other peoples religion have nothing to do with america, there is freedom of religion remember? Considering the southern states are where most of the gun nuts live, I'd say it's pretty damn relevant. |

You are correct RodeoX. Capitalism IS the best system, is communism working well in Russia right now?
Russia is a capitalist oligarchy. Which is the best country in the world? The USA. That's adorable. You remind me of this blonde girl from the Newsroom. America is the best in only three categories: -Number of incarcerated citizens per capita -Number of adults who believe angels are real -Military expenditure |

Too bad mircea is a clown , man. ALT coins certainly aren't in the spotlight like they once were. A lot of bubbles, but its a free market and people are entitled to choose whatever currency they wish to use.
Sure, as long as they don't cry afterwards and say that Bitcoin is a scam, or cryptocurrencies in general, after they get burned in the altcoin market. These scams do damage bitcoin's brand because average joe news listener probably doesn't make the distinction between any given shitcoin and bitcoin. They don't yet know even the most fundamental Bitcoin (protocol) vs bitcoin (currency) or the fact that every altcoin from Litecoin on down is just a self-aggrandizing knockoff of Bitcoin (the protocol) |

I can only see a big gang behind Bitcoin... having the same interests. money. I'm one of the many people supporting bitcoin. We are not a monolith. That said, most of us love reason and loathe violence, so calling us a "gang" is hardly fair. I'm also an anti-capitalist and not in bitcoin for profit. Satoshi has not traded any of his/her/their BTC for fiat. If he was interested in money, he would have sold some of it by now. |

Take the ones from the so called "Foundation"(Bitcoin developers) and you will find that they are connected with the exchanges and their shareholders as well. Not that they know each other but the are interconnected by running the same businesses. Only a very stupid person should not see the facts.  Do you reject all technologies that have business interests promoting them, or only Bitcoin? |

Hell, my guns are better than their low bid firearms. You could have the best, fanciest gun in the world and you'd be just as dead if a bullet from the shittiest, cheapest gun struck one of your vital organs. I do not feel oppressed by capitalism Great for you, check your privilege. It's [capitalism] far from utopia, but never in human history have people had it as good as we do. You sure about that? Anxiety disorders affect 40 million adults in the United States (18% of U.S. population). 1 in 10 Americans is clinically depressed. 1 in 4 college students are depressed. The United States is today almost certainly the most mentally ill society in the history of the world. Anyone who thinks you don't need a gun has been watching to many movies. You must be joking. Hollywood glorifies gun culture like mad! So again, I'll stick to what I know works. You'll stick to what you believe works while ignoring overwhelming evidence to the contrary. I'll stick to an evidence-based existence. "(...) there are 3 to 5 gun deaths per 100,000 in the bottom five gun ownership states, while there are 17 to 20 gun deaths per 100,000 in the top five gun ownership states. These statistics provide a great deal of evidence that gun ownership levels in a state correlate with gun deaths, and prove that the gun lobby’s argument of universal gun ownership is simply a fantasy." |
