OT LeBron James said Kyle Rittenhouse should 'knock it off' after the teen cried during murder trial

Lol. That's what I said. I said you said don't outlaw things because of outlaws not the contrary which Barfo seemed to think.

Anyway.

I agree that if we outlaw guns it will take guns away from responsible people and they won't be able to defend themselves with a gun against bad people who have guns.

I'm not advocating outlawing guns. I have only said there is a huge gun problem and many many people are being gunned down everyday.

One solution among many is not to allow unresponsible people to walk around with assault rifles that end up killing people.

 

Yes, against outlaws. So don't outlaw things because of outlaws.

 

And that's ok

 

Ok, I suppose even if guns are outlawed....good people might still have them even if it's illegal to do so.

 

Hey you tried and barfo tried. You two just couldn't reach an understanding. That happens.

 

It would probably help to read it all when I'm not exhausted from a long day of work.

 

I suppose...or to stop people from doing those things, but I guess those people would be outlaws...so yeah

 

But, the gun was illegal. If he legally owned it and had a permit, that's different. You break a law there should be consquence. You could argue what that consquence should be. A prison sentence? What's too long of a sentence? Maybe just confiscate the gun, but then there is no consquence other than losing a gun he will easily replace.

I understand and agree with your argument about racial profiling. Smelling pot is cause for searching a car for drugs in most states. If while searching the car, something else illegal is found, should there not be consquences?

Cops could and probably do say they smell pot even if they don't, especially in cases of racial profiling so they can have a reason to search a car. That is bullshit and should be rooted out. But how? We will never be able to get rid of all the bad cops. Legalizing /decriminalizing weed, so it can't be used as a reason?

These unhonest cops have other excuses up their sleeves. They say they were swerving and suspect them of intoxication or create a situation to make the person they pulled over as being combative and go with that.

Get rid off all the dishonest cops? Is it possible with enough accountability?

This is a complex issue

 

But, then you become an outlaw. A good outlaw? A gunslinger?

 

And I think maybe that was what @barfo was getting at. Just because you outlaw it, doesn't mean good people aren't going to do it. Do they become outlaws? Maybe?
