I believe it. I was buying smokes without an ID by the time I was 17.

Cancer rates in the US are up about 500% since 1970. My brother is in late 20s and is already needing testosterone meds, presumably due to years of work in industrial settings.

Hey, you’re the expert.

I personally couldn’t care less about economics. There are too many things to be right and passionate about for me to start worrying about all that theoretical insanity.

Right. I must’ve missed that because I don’t care about this conversation at all. Labels were never my thing to begin with. But you can call me right-wing if it makes you feel better, as long as I get to keep my trans boyfriend.

I’m so glad you asked.

I’m beginning to feel a little gas-lit.

Uh. Okay. If you say so. I wasn’t going to say anything about the No True Scotsman fallacy, but you really did force my hand with that last one. That’s outright silly, and a pretty vile attempt to coerce conformity out of of other progressives who don’t align with your perspective on economics by thinking you can label them “right-wing” for it.

Capitalism ends where left begins.

I’m not sure if you’re gatekeeping or just generalizing.

Oh, I wouldn’t know anything about that.

That doesn’t even make any sense.

Whataboutism is a form of informal fallacy.

A what?

What about people who are just left?

Excuse my sorry Texan ass, but the idea of denying someone gun ownership just because they had a bad breakup or don’t have a social circle is wonk to me.

I also didn’t mention that the RCMP licensing division is backed up like crazy, and the courses are usually booked months in advance. You can count on about six months from the time you decide to get your license to the time you legally own your first gun.

The best part about this is that the licensing and all the other fees probably make it profitable to run, meaning they’re bottle-necking both on purpose and at their own expense.

That makes sense. Thanks.

It just seemed like bot behavior to me that someone would make so many posts so fast is all, but I guess “terminally online” is one way to describe a disabled person.

Maybe you can understand how always having a lot of content primed and ready to go and already having a plan of where to post it so that it can be done quickly seems like a “terminally online” thing from my perspective. It seems like an excessive effort to me for a human to post that much content daily with such a time crunch. In order to repost content in the first place, a human user would also have to be active on multiple social media sites, so maybe “internet addict” would be a better descritpion.

Why do you have a pattern of uploading in bursts of posts all within a single minute of each other then going quiet for several hours?

I hang out in enough blue spaces to see the cries for renewed bans on particular styles of guns. A lot of the stuff I own in Texas would already be a felony to own in NY and Cali.

There also appears to be a variety of definitions for “common sense” gun laws, and it seems to depend largely on an individual’s locality. Universal background checks is a no-brainer, but I’d like to keep my semi-auto rifle and standard capacity mags.

Besides, everyone knows it’s actually handguns that are responsible for a vast majority of violent crimes involving firearms, which potentially makes them next up on the chopping block once the precedent is set by the first ban of a style of firearm that’s rarely used in violent gun crimes rarely in comparison.

Update: It was because I triggered bot detection for not pandering in enough comment sections.

If you can’t turn someone red, just make them a single issue voter.

Voting blue can hurt sometimes as a gun-owning Texan, but I do what I must. I didn’t always have that mentality.
