Jesus Christ you make my brain bleed. Nah... you go on.

It’s sad that getting the conversation you cry for makes your brain bleed.
You seem to not really know what you do or do not want.
You complain about not getting conversation, but don’t want to be aviary if conversation.
You complain when you are taken literally, but then complain that your words are being interpreted and others are speaking “for” you.
You accuse people of living their life based on feelings, then tell us that you do things based on your feelings (except your job as a juror that specifically mentions feelings in passing judgement).
You get angry that people are internet experts because they have the skills to research and find information, but declare yourself and expert in things you seem to not have researched or learned about at all.

Trying to sort you out is like stapling jello to a wall.

Purchasing was easier? How so? I can to a major gun show about once a month and buy whatever I want no questions asked, no background check, no ID, no registration.....

We literally had a gun class in school in the 80s. The parking lot at the high school had 15 trucks with guns in the back window rack. You can play with google numbers all you want, but even children were allowed to own and carry guns not that long ago. How old are you?

Really Rob? You asked me a question. That was the start of OUR conversation. It wasn't about Trump. Why are you getting so bent out of shape?
The topic was women being *****. You threw up studies about why women don't report **** and .... do you really not remember these discussions???

So we just started talking about **** and your feelings on it out of the blue?
Your posts sure seem to indicate you were joining in the Trump **** hearing discussion.

Look at your post below. The one where you respond to the Trump headline by saying that he didn't **** her, she only accused him b/c she became a Democrat. Because, you know...you like facts.

You then, literally in your response to Coolhand's post, talk about rapes not getting reported . A post about the Trump trial by jury. The "he" in the post refers to Trump.
Your posts directly flank my post that has the headline about Trump in it.
And yet you claim the discussion was not about the Trump ****? When your own post has the headline in it?
Do you really not remember these discussions? Do you genuinely not remember your own posts?
Were you maybe thinking this all was about a Trump other than the one who used to be POTUS?

And? You read all this then chimed in as you claimed I did and started asking me questions about my opinions on **** which became the topic of OUR conversation, another topic. Women lie, ****, not reporting it, why they don't report it... come on, I am waiting on the subject of Trump in any of that after you ask me questions.

Will you claim you control the topic and it does not change unless you change it or allow it to be changed? Will you claim you don't comprehend a topic change or that your understanding of conversations is not as good as you boast? Or will you admit that you can't somehow talk about two or more topics at the same time? Not a multitasker Rob?

I have a question for you though. You talk down your nose to everyone who talks news topics about Biden and his family and call it infotainment as if it is beneath you but you are all sorts of opinionated about this Trump case. Why is that?

'Second, the group warns that AI can accelerate mass murder via the expanded use of Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS).'

'Such weapons,' they write, 'could be cheaply mass-produced and relatively easily set up to kill at an industrial scale. For example, it is possible for a million tiny drones equipped with explosives, visual recognition capacity and autonomous navigational ability to be contained within a regular shipping container and programmed to kill.'

Doctors and public health experts call AI R&D an 'existential threat'

Doctors and health policy experts from across four continents have called for a halt to unchecked AI research, which they believe could 'bypass any constraints in its code'

They're not "google numbers" they're real numbers regarding gun ownership in the US. I know plenty of people who had a "shooting class" in school; that was pretty common in rural America. Are you suggesting it would be a good idea to do the same today? Do you think the HS's in my neck of the woods should have kids bring guns and ammo to class for gun class or does that sound like an incredibly bad idea?

I’m not saying that. You’re looking at numbers of guns as if that’s some type of indictment on guns. There is more people, more disposable income, more manufacturers of weapons, more types of weapons, etc. than there was. The rednecks who owned 8 guns in 1980 now own 30. The number of guns in existence is just not a number that means anything.

I'm looking at the number of guns as if the ever increasing number of guns has something to do with the ever increasing amount of gun violence. Just pure ratios tells me there is probably 10+ in my cul-de-sac. Additionally, I'm looking at the fact that if a society pumps 100s of millions of guns into the population, it is inevitable that some of the guns will end up in the hands of the irresponsible, the crazy, the criminal, etc. And while we've pumped those 100s of millions of guns we done nothing to regulate guns and have only made it easier to get them and next to impossible to track them. No licensing, no registering, no tracking.

It's 100% clear that guns actually do kill people and that's exactly what most guns are designed to do, but the gun lobby keeps telling me that it's people that kill people. Yet they continually stand in the way of any means of associating bad guys with the guns.

Interesting. Trump won NC by ~1.5%, yet they have the votes to push thru legislation. Doesn't sound very democratic or representative.

That's a pretty convenient view of what actually happens.

Guns, guns, guns for everyone. They should start issuing them at birth.
