A little different post this time, not a news article or anything. Just some excellent points made here.

    Easy. Because the actual problem is murder. “Precrime” should not be a crime.

      Murder is made way easier with guns, as a result gun prevalence increases murder rates. Nobody is suggesting “precrime” is a crime.

      Do you think civilians should be allowed to own nuclear bombs? Would it be a problem for civilians to own such arms, or would murder the be problem?

      So as long as mass murders go to jail it’s fine? A classroom of kids get slaughtered, the guy who did it gets life in jail. That’s an even trade? That’s justice? The government has done its job?

        I mean, pretty much. Throw them in with the unabomber in 23/7 solitary. Maybe put out an awareness campaign or something.

          Awareness always works. Do you have any crack cocaine?

          (This is a jab at awareness campaigns, not about the gun debate.)
