@peterpur Nah not really. The logical fallacy of "appeal to authority" doesnt dissolve just cause they are famous.
@peterpur if you have specific points you want to make feel free and ill be happy to discuss. I have little interest in reading the opinions of some random person who isnt in the conversation however
@peterpur id say this post is pretty accurate. Privatized power has and continued to work fairly well compared to public equivelant.
@jaysonmassey We are talking about guns, and specifically how gun policies like japans do more harm than good in thr big picture.

I have no problem with leople being abke to own weapons from before the ban, tbat soubds fair.
@icedquinn Elon doesnt want anything to do with a world that would have him as a billionaire
I still don't know who he is and now I care even less.
Instead, let's talk about how to implement a fair tax system:
@Pat We do, but the people have idiotic ideas as to how to achieve all those things so on execution they tend to drift farther away from many goals.
@Pat My poi t is its organic... people back absurd opinions or reasoning, politicians support any stupidity that gets them votes. The morr thry support some issues the more people jump on thr bandwagon and as a result the more strongly the politician supports it.. then you got a nasty feedback loop.
@Pat @JonKramei disagree. The people create these issues and dynamics the plurocrats just take advantage of it a d fan the flames to pander and get votes.
People create these issues. Yes they do distract from the actual important issues, but that is the doing of tbe people and their tendency towards absurdity.
No one said impossible. You can buy automatic weapons. But again only very rare antique weapons and at an enourmous price. It is also so rare that you cant find a single modern shooting with an automatic.
Obviously what zack said. The sale of new auto weapons have been illegal in the usa for a very long time. You can only get access to very old antique autoweapons and there are very few of them at all.
It does discredit you when you say stuff like that.
@JonKramer yes knowing what everyones geneitals looks like is the right wings equivelant of a safe space.

@oliphant of course there are ads, mastodon is riddles with advertising accounts. The reason you dont need an ad blocker is that there is no algorithm that people can exploit to get those ads to target you.
