It always makes me laugh how scared of weapons the euros are when compared to Americans.

Teach safety, remove the forbidden fruit aspect, all good.

Also having difficulty with the A-Stan reference.

So teaching kids about weapons=they go off and "fight for an oil company" and lose "their legs or genitals".

Yeah, this guy is a douche.

its almost like sex ed. people are soo freaking scared to talk about these things with children and in the end teen pregnancy and STD's are rampant.

Im all for professionals teaching younger people how to take care of a gun. Knowledge on how to do things whether it be dangerous or not is better than ignorance.

Yeah, the us leads the world in the least amount of gun violence. Stupid europeeens

True, but not a fallacy of being able to own a gun properly. Other things about our society plays a role.

Look at Sweden (or Switz?) and you'll see it can be done. I personally believe things like columbine, the theatre shooting, VA tech could be avoided if Americans rose to learn how to defend themselves against criminals who couldn't care less about the laws. American society should embrace defending themselves. It won't happen until people feel more confident about the 'dirty' notion of owning a gun/

Sweden is an example of how it can be done. I am talking in a mere sense of 'if you're going to have it be legal in the first place...' sense rather than legal vs. illegal. But hard to imagine mass murders caring whether it is legal or not, and the resons behind these kinds of behaviors dwell in completeley different areas than whether a gun is legal or not.

So my main point if basically if you legalize it, and have a right for self-defense it will work much better when these things are embraced rather than shunned.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
