it's actually really disingenuous to bring up reducing firearm-related deaths as a justification for gun control

yeah no poo poo if you reduce the number of guns the number of people killed by guns will also be reduced

the important thing to check is whether the total number of deaths goes down or if the people who would have been killed by guns are now just killed by something else

note that the statistic he chose to use (if actually accurate, which I can't be bothered to check for low effort trolling) includes suicides as well

which is actually a pretty decent example of why you need to care about substitution effects, since France has a higher suicide rate than the US does, they just use firearms less frequently (and hanging and insecticide poisoning more often)

This is what worries me the most. Normally, the children of immigrants are better-integrated than their parents, and by the third generation, they're basically indistinguishable. At least, that's been the North American experience. In Europe, the children are if anything more radical, more religious and more distinct. After all, you can choose your immigrants and pick the ones who you feel are best for your country; you can't pick their grandkids fifty years down the line.

They are definitely more radical, it isn't even a question. It honestly is extremely troubling and it's pathetic and angering that so many progressives refuse to even talk about the issue for fear of I honestly don't even know. The far right could have been stopped on this issue but good lord most on the left are just remarkably retarded and it's just going to get worse.

The K5 robot stands 5 feet tall and resembles a squat white rocket. It is designed to patrol malls, campuses and workplaces. Cameras stream live video, and Knightscope says it can predict unusual and potentially dangerous behavior.

She said a mall employee lamented that this was the second time in a week a child had been struck by the robot. Knightscope said this is the only report it has received.
