Reminder to all the Trump supporters in this thread that your candidate is currently trailing by over 600,000 votes and if the U.S. was a modern democracy he wouldn't be our next president. :)
But hey, we elected a man who sexually assaults women and demonizes muslims so I guess we aren't a modern nation anyway.
jeeringsoleSo far I know about Waldo and Cloudmaker being banned and unable to withdraw their money. If anyone else is having trouble post your twitch name. Working with Grant at Matcherino right now.
My twitch name is o_oWhyMeo_o and I also can't withdraw my money.
Haven't been banned yet tho so that's something at least.
ReeroIt can also be argued that if every state all over the country had uniform, lax, gun laws, than the overall murder rate could fall. Again, this is using Texas and other states with lax gun laws as a model. If everyone owns guns and is encouraged to purchase them, then less people will try to rob/attack others in fear that they too own a gun.
I don't think it's common sense that everyone having guns would result in less gun violence. I could only see that resulting in more violence, not less. Either way, the U.S. already HAS the highest amount of guns per capita and yet has quite high homicide rates, especially for a high-income country. So this argument just doesn't make any sense.
ReerowhymeoReeroIt was in response to mustard who said that he wanted an assault weapons ban..
Right, but linking those stats and saying "an assault weapons ban is pointless because most homicides in the U.S. are committed with handguns" doesn't seem like a good argument to me. When most homicides are committed with some form of gun, I believe the solution is to ban all firearms. And how the U.S. homicide rate compares to other high-income countries would indeed suggest that the U.S. needs to ban firearms if they want the homicide rate to decrease.
The NRA has too much power for that to happen anytime soon anyway, so it's just theoretical.
I don't agree with this solution, as places like Chicago make it very difficult to acquire guns, yet the murder rate is very high. Compare that to a place like Texas, where the gun laws are very lax, yet the murder rate is very low. Prohibition is often never the solution to a problem, as evinced by the past attempt to prohibit alcohol, and our current failing attempts to prohibit drugs.
I cannot think of any other issue why the homicide-rate in the U.S. would be higher than all other high-income nations except our ability to purchase guns freely. Perhaps I'm wrong but that seems to be the difference. Stricter gun laws in certain places in the country don't necessarily suggest that bans on guns don't help homicide rates if people can just get their guns from other places in the country.
If, however, the homicide rate stays the same in all places in the U.S. that have enacted stricter gun laws but the number of gun related homicides decreases while other methods for committing homicide increase, perhaps you could argue that guns are not the cause for higher homicide rates in the U.S.

I feel, based on her earlier posts in this thread, she thinks you shouldn't ban any guns at all, not just that you banning assault weapons is pointless. Which is not, in my opinion, the logical conclusion to draw from the very stats she posted.
m4risaThe FBI's Supplemental Homicide
Reports show that 57% of all murders
in 1993 were committed with handguns,
3% with rifles, 5% with shotguns,
and 5% with firearms where the type
was unknown.
1993 I know, but the case still stands. The only issue I can see with "assault weapons" is the maximized amount of damage they can do, in which case a ban on larger magazines would suffice enough.
"Assault weapon" just goes to show how much mainstream media you eat up, fearmongering term.
57% of homicides were committed with handguns so we shouldn't ban any guns...
Unless your position is we should ban handguns but not "assault weapons" which would be even more stupid.
I should know arguing with you idiots isn't going to get me anywhere.
Let's talk in four years about how great the trump presidency with a house and senate controlled by republicans went.
SpaceCadetThis is called completely ignoring everything I said and talking about a completely different topic.
No it's called trump ran on racist rhetoric while Obama did not so of course racism has an impact on the election you ignorant fuck.
johnfHe still fucking did it. Good old democracy.
He likely isn't even going to win the popular vote, so you have a real twisted idea of what democracy is. Although I guess I shouldn't expect anything more from someone who uses the fucking alt-right "jew parenthesis".
SpaceCadetwhymeoReading through this thread seeing all the Trump supporters trying to say it had nothing to do with race when the only major demographic trump did well with was white people.
The fact that Clinton was the establishment candidate and racism can both play a role. It doesn't just have to be one thing.
So wait a minute, let me understand.
Trump did well with white people so that makes it a racist vote. (not sure of the exact % just yet)
Obama in 2012 had 93% of the black vote and in 2008 had 95% of the black vote. Racism had no impact on those?
You can't have it both ways.
Yeah, I also remember when Obama ran on keeping all white Christians out of the country so that's totally a good argument. Crazy times my man!
Oh and with 98% reporting trump is behind in the popular vote. So, ironically, the messed up government system that Trump claims he's going to fix may be the only reason he got elected.
God bless America.

It's okay guys, we survived 4 years of a Cheney presidency, we'll also survive 4 years of a Pence presidency.

Is this what it's like to see your country turn into an authoritarian state?
