I do support unregulated guns, but I am willing to compromise. Right now guns are extremely regulated particularly in some states, which is wrong. I think the biggest problem is that the regulations that some people want are ineffective at best.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I do support unregulated guns

Really? So guns for toddlers? Guns for people who have been institutionalized multiple times? Guns for people who have committed treasonous acts?

A former school shooter gets out of prison- give them a gun?

[–] CableMonster@lemmy.ml 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Guns for people who have committed treasonous acts?

This is the exact reason I support unregulated gun use, because people can claim things and then people lose rights.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Right, so you think clinically insane people and toddlers should have guns.

[–] CableMonster@lemmy.ml -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think the only valid point you have is that insane people shouldnt have guns; toddlers parents should be in charge of what they have access to. So if you proposition is that we only limit guns to insane people, I agree to this compromise.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

toddlers parents should be in charge of what they have access to.

Got it. Parents get to decide whether or not toddlers should have access to drugs.

[–] CableMonster@lemmy.ml -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nope, logical inference based on what you said.

Or does "toddlers parents should be in charge of what they have access to" mean something non-literal? Was it metaphorical? I doubt it.

If you're going to make sweeping general statements that apply in every situation, that's not my fault.

[–] CableMonster@lemmy.ml -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nope, drugs are directly harmful, a child could hold and carry an unloaded weapon with no issue. Or they could shoot a gun that shoots something non lethal.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I said 'access,' not 'use.' A toddler cannot be harmed by picking up a bag of meth any more than they can be harmed by an unloaded weapon.

So it's okay to let them do that, right?

[–] CableMonster@lemmy.ml -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

A toddler cannot be harmed by picking up a bag of meth any more than they can be harmed by an unloaded weapon.

Of course they can... Have you not noticed how cops wear gloves when they deal with drugs, the residue on a bag could literally kill someone.

But if your gun control counter negotiation is no toddlers or insane with guns, I will accept that counter offer.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, I have noticed that cops buy into all kinds of propaganda bullshit about drugs.

And apparently so do you.

Cops also pass out when they touch a tiny bit of fentanyl despite fentanyl not being able to be absorbed by the skin that quickly or easily.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You do see that she's wearing gloves in that footage, right? So apparently your claim that they wear gloves to stop that is not true.

Also, if you're going to post that video, you may want to watch this video about why that video is bullshit- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1daCmMFSJg

Use some basic logic. If fentanyl was that strong, a tiny bag would last for years.

[–] CableMonster@lemmy.ml 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Gotcha all coincidence... She had a medical emergency from searching a car. Sure thing!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I guess you know more than those medical experts, right?

Where did you get your medical degree from? Did your medical school not cover psychosomatic disorders? I'd ask for your money back.

[–] CableMonster@lemmy.ml 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Medical experts watching a video... Are you aware that there are more than this one time?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Medical experts who know how fentanyl works.

Again- where did you get your medical degree from and why did it not include the concept of psychosomatic illness?

[–] CableMonster@lemmy.ml 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Again, Are you aware that there are more than this one time?

Do I need a medical degree for knowing exposure to potent drugs causes people to get drugs into their system? I guess if I am claiming a toddler cant be harmed by mild exposure to drugs I would need to keep believing that.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Again. As in it's the second time I asked you.

And yes, you do need a medical degree if you think you know better than the people who explain how it gets into their system.

But you sound like the typical conservative who thinks their gut brain knows better than any of those dumb scientists.

Cool you didnt answer a single one of my questions. Have an amazing day!
