Considering how argentinians… uh… are, I don’t think they’d ever manage to reflect on themselves to do what you explained they could. Unfortunately blind patriotism is a massive problem everywhere in South America.

Hence why I put it in quotes. Trying to use force doesn’t work most of the time.


Usually, when a foreign power tries to “liberate” another country, they don’t go and bomb civilian installations indiscriminately on the literal first day of conflict. Also, dealing with your own government is one thing: dealing with a foreign government who’s much bigger and stronger as a regular civilian is pretty much impossible. Iranians do not like their government, but they don’t want someone else to change it - they want to do it themselves, and you can’t really do that if a foreign government is bombing you to smithereens as much as they’re bombing your government.


Yeah, where do you think we are? lol

And that’s why everyone is sailing again.
Yep. Israel and Russia really like each other. Which is why when I see someone with this emoji combo ( 🇷🇺 🇮🇱 ) I immediately hear “I AM ADOLF HITLER” in my head lmao


Funny thing that came with this: apparently Micron’s stock fell off a cliff, and apparently so did RAM prices? Can’t confirm that later one.


Maybe Argentina wouldn’t get their shit kicked in if they weren’t sniveling little fascists at the time. But I’d like for them to at least explain why they want the islands without a patriotic argument.
“it would be better if there were fewer guns”
There are 470 million guns in the US. This conversation is a non-starter. You are not putting that ketchup back in the bottle. Not without causing millions of deaths. It would be exactly what ICE is doing, except everyone’s got guns.
Ask an aboriginal what they think of the police.
And that’s a justification for rolling over and doing nothing? In the US, armed protests don’t usually get messed with because open carry isn’t illegal everywhere. Hell, Ronnie Reagan banned open carry in California exactly because the Black Panthers were copwatching with guns and the kkkops didn’t like it.
Yeah, now show me one gun law made in the last 26 years that wasn’t made with the explicit idea to only protect liberal white suburbans while at the same time giving exemptions to cops and ex-cops as if they don’t abuse their wives at a 40% rate.
You do, actually. Armed protests don’t get attacked or tear gassed by police. Also, look up the battle of Blair Mountain.
Have you looked at every gun law drafted in the last 20 years? Every single one banning certain classes of guns only targets “assault weapons”, and every time, they have exemptions for cops or ex-cops. Handguns kill significantly more people, but “assault weapons” are scary and make liberal suburbans feel mortal for once so they irrationally hate them.
Cops in America don’t need guns for 90% of the stuff they do, no matter how armed the population is. They’re the actual nutjobs with guns. They’re the ones killing people over getting talked smack back or over a fucking wallet. And even if cops started getting killed from not having guns, so what? THEIR JOB is to sacrifice themselves for the public good. They can just have SWAT at the ready and have unarmed cops do almost everything. You don’t need a fucking gun to radar cars in the highway, write tickets, go to someone’s burgled house to take a note they’ll eventually lose, or bother someone over the position of their stereo knob.
Cops (aka class traitors) have killed 33x more people than mass shootings since 1982. But sure, we’re the ones sacrificing children.
If there were to be a registry it would have to be in a way that it does not associate a person’s face with their ownership, it should be a token that only points that the gun is legal to own.
I personally think that if I was one to put gun control up, I’d start with making handguns harder to own in some manner, or less attractive to steal or use, and starting a mandatory training program for anyone trying to own a firearm ran by both government officials and volunteers, with various training regimen and hard exams to weed out potentially violent individuals. Oh, and also I’d completely disarm the police everywhere like in Europe. Regular cops don’t need guns to radar cars in the highway, go to someone’s house to take notes on a burglary that they’ll lose later, or respond to an autistic kid having a meltdown.
TBH if you’re a hunter you DO need different guns, because a gun for deer is overkill for something like wolves/boars but mostly useless against something like a bear. But aside from that, if I did live in the US I would be a collector, but the only guns I’d seriously plan to buy brand new would be a carry pistol, a shotgun, and a rifle. And as long as they’re following the law and no one’s getting hurt, I don’t think it matters how many guns one could have.
