i started to respond but there are so many things wrong with your inane hypothetical i quit a couple paragraphs in. just fucking light up some neurons

Yikes. It took you multiple paragraphs before you understood how goddamn reactionary the Austrian response is. And while you understand it’s wrong, you refuse to accept it. Liberal to the core. Please do not vote again for everyone’s sake.

Do you think that the average person is a killer but the only thing that stops them are the tools they have available?

Which is a completely irrelevant point here

So if the point isn’t to save lives, what is the point?

Agreed, so we should be building trains which are way faster, safer and environmentally friendly then cars if we actually care about saving lives.

Wow kneejerk pseudo-science enshrined into law because one person out of 10,000,000 used a gun to kill someone. Do you think if he had used a car instead you’d see a similar response? why or why not?

Yes both Soviet and American rocket scientists have known since the 1960’s such a defense system was impossible. Multiple idealized field tests basically proved it, but it’s a lot of money for defense contractors and their share holders so they will continue to come up with unenforceable contracts with guaranteed payouts, and then give kickbacks to the people who can get those contracts approved.

What’s up with Europes fragile plumbing? Does the US have this problem but it’s never reported or what?

Why? Is there some law they are breaking by having their own opinion of what a valid charity is?

What if their definition of a “valid charity” doesn’t agree with yours?

So if Unity said Michael Jordan is not a valid basket ball player, would you be up in arms about it?

I mean Planned Parenthood is explicitly NOT a charity. It’s an ineffective Political Action Committee that spent decades bilking donations and wasn’t even able to codify roe v wade. They don’t deserve shit. Hospitals in the US are also explicitly not Charities. They may be non-profits, maybe, but they don’t run on donations, they expect payments from patients for services rendered. There is no world where those examples of the failures of a Capitalist society should be considered a charity.
