  • Anything regarding storage is essentially unenforceable until after a tragedy has occurred.

    One could require a receipt or proof of purchase for a safe or a lock when buying a gun.

    It also implies that everyone’s situation at home allows them 1) to purchase two safes and 2) to have room for two safes and 3) limits their ownership of either guns or ammo to the size of that safe.

    That’s intentional.

    It also doesn’t make much sense to have two safes if the person doing the shooting is the one that is buying the ammo and guns in the first place.

    We need comprehensive laws grounded in addressing specific issues

    I was specifically addressing teenagers access to their parents guns, specifically to prevent school shootings.

    As for operating under a license, what would that do beyond the existing restrictions for procuring firearms? Do they expire and what would happen then?

    Like a car license. You may not be checked all the time, but every once in a while and it’s a crime to not have it if you’re driving.

    Addition:

    Stop the 24 hour news cycle and please please please stop naming criminals by name and showing their faces. Delete the “claim to fame” angle that comes with horrible crimes.

    For community involvement, what comes to mind for me is: walkable neighbourhoods, libraries even in small towns and local sports clubs.

    But there must be a minimum of gun laws: Buying, owning, operating only under license, storage at home in a safe and ammunition in a separate safe. That’s really the bare minimum.

    This operation has the potential to better Ukraine’s strategic position greatly. Ukraine winning means the dying of civilians stops. Ukraine giving up would not have the same result.

    Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered Czechoslovakia? - No.

    Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered Poland? - No.

    Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered the Netherlands? - No.

    Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered Denmark? - No.

    Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered France? - No.

    Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered Norway? - No.

    Ww2 ended, when Nazi Germany was defeated.






  • Yeah, like a digital “ideal line” that the cars can follow.

    Maybe even a physical guiding line.

    We could even connect all the cars via WLAN (WiFi) to exchange info when they are braking and accelerating. That would increase efficiency.

    Maybe we could even connect them physically to have a stronger engine pulling more cars more efficiently.

    If we already have an ideal guiding line, we might actually save some asphalt and make the roads more optimised. Use different materials so the tyre particles don’t pollute as much.

    Ah, let’s just build a train.
