That is horribly disingenuine.. Aside fromt he fact that my followers are well aware of my stance of civil discourse and not to harass people, it implied nothing of the sort.

If someone posts "Hey Trump passed bill HR 256 which makes slaverly legal again".. are they calling for harassment... hell no..

Worse yet this situation is even a step down from even that... We are talking about a person for MONTH was posting on every outlet they could find lies about me, email lists, their own follower base (keep in mind he has a lot of followers and is a mod of his own instance)... etc

I have every damn right to expose someone commiting active and deliberate slander and calling for harassment against me as well as blocking of my server when i have photo evidence they are lying out of their ass... and the fact that you would think otherwise is concerning to put it mildly.

This dude actively spent months harassing me with blatant slander and then complains when I **defend** myself and people get pissed at him.

For the record what he calls harassment is basically people saying "you lied, here is the proof" on his posts where he tried to harass/slander **me**... so yea, this is the silliest nonsense I've ever heard from you.

@PawelK since i dont recall the details i have no idea what you are even suggesting you might expose

@localzuk

You managed to replace school shootings, an extremely rare event, with massive increases in violent crimes, homicide, and rape rates... bardly a win.

@kinyutaka

By that logic just bank on the ineffiency of the backgroubd check and just cut out the middleman

@kinyutaka

Your reasoning seems very ass backwards, excuse my language...

Instead of worrying that someone is negligent and not entering data in the system as they are expect, and thus claiming any fast system is a failure. Focus on fixing the problem by ensuring people enter data in more quickly so its not an issue.

Do you even know how often data isnt entered into the system and people get a gun simply cause someone is negligent and didnt enter it on time? That probably isnt a huge issue anyway

@PiedraFiera

Even if we reduced gun shootings to one every 10 years we woukd still be teaching kids these lessons becauae preparing them saves lives, even jf jts rare we want to save lives....

Are we really going to claim now that measures which safe childrends lives in shootings are part of the problem?

Teaching kids how tonsurvive a tornado is fairly similar and dangerous.. yea its stressful but kids are more than strong enough to do drills, and thry are and always shoukd be good practice.

@kinyutaka Attached is an image showing the appropriate bulled for various game. It clearly shiws that the 0.223, the bullet used in an ar15 is only useful for small game hunting.

Nonhubter woukd challenge this.

@kinyutaka

Here is a little chart for you showing the bullets and the gsme they shoot. The 223 is the one an AR-15 shoots and as you can see it is one of the least powerful and limkted to small game.

@design_RG

@pj i am not. I am saying it is half as common as lightening to get killed in a school shooting.

@PiedraFiera

Yea
, though id imagine the number of kids who have ptsd because they were in a school shooting is likely in the one in hundred million range. So still pretty rare.

@kinyutaka

That makes no sense. Someone selling the gun needs to know if he passed the legal criteria or not. Its not up to them to make any sort of judgement call, that would and should be illegal. Pass or fail is exactly what you need.

The fact that the system is digital and fast seems like a poor argument against it, thats exact the ideal, digital data that is complete and fast to search

@marq@toot.community @Litzz11 @georgetakei

@kinyutaka

No an AR-15 TSKES 0.226 O
or if its mispec a nato 5.56. These are very much only capable on small game.

To use a .308 round on a ar-15 youd need a modified version of thr gun and therefore no longer coubts as an AR-15 as youve modified it into somethibg else.

@design_RG

@strawd Sure, you are welcome to that opinion. and I think something that happens 1 in 600+ million is more than rare enough to not be a concern... I also think that while many more might be "exposed " to it hby it happening somewhere in the general facinity is not nearly as traumatizing and thus also a somewhat acceptable outcome.. I mean, they probably included shooting that were "around the block" and their total interaction with it was to hear a pop and hide or maybe not even that, all they hear is the talk at the school about it the next day.

I know when i was in school i was exposed to a shooting.. never even knew it happened right next to me but the cops were there and IU drove past it.. I know someone was killed but since you never see or hear the event or anything it really had no traumatic effect to me at all.. So while I dont like to see those sorts of things happening I dont think its quite as traumatic as the numbers might suggest (as I said id have dif deeper into yoiur source to know the definition)

@PiedraFiera Absolutely true, I was not trying to calculate the total global impact on everyone from these events.

@kinyutaka

You are talkiung about entierly different types of background checks... Criminal Background checks take a few day, and areunrelated to guns. They are usually performed by employeers using private investigators. The databases used for gun background checks are locked down and not accessible to a PI. Even if they good access it since the data in it needs to remain private it only gives a pass or fail result, so a criminal investigator (who needs to know the details of the crimes cant use it.

Gun background chefcks are automated, secured and specifically designed to covr guns and the needs of gun sales and thus has significant privacy protections... but it also has the advantage of being almost completely digital and thus by its very nature much faster than other unrelated types of background checks.

@marq@toot.community @Litzz11 @georgetakei

@kinyutaka

Dont take this as an attack, but you are clearly uneducated on this.. yes the AR-15 **is** a small game rifle.. for starts it is overwhelmingly used by farmers for that purpose as any farmer can tell you... 2, has one of the slowest muzzle velocities of any rifle out there.. If you tried to kill a deer at normal range with it the deer would just run away laughing at you.
