Yep, relativity is a bitch. Even if we could do the speed of light, our time here would pass so quickly that by the time we reached some place that had life, ours might have stopped existing.

And yes, I know a light year is not a measure of time, but distance, but it still takes time.

Time.

Timeline wise, we could be at the beginning of when other species are becoming sentient. Or we could have missed them by a billion years. The gap to get in contact is so massive that the odds are stacked against it ever happening.

Naa, once you figure out one the rest click usually.

Let me in! Looks fun, guess I’ll have to wait for the next round of beta entries.

Wait you were mad when the subs went dark or mad at the reddit admins. The mods aren’t the issue over there(well not all of them).

Yea sports shooting is totally useful because they’re made to kill paper targets and clay doves. Sure thing

I mean I’ve already pointed out other uses, but ok…

Naa that’s literally the end goal. It’s pointless to sugar coat it.

Because I’m not the one suggesting that companies be liable for what people do with their products. Way more people a year die from alcohol than guns (it’s like a 3xs as many) and alcohol has no other purpose but a vice, yet you’re probably not going to suggest that companies be liable for drunk drivers who kill people, nor are you going to suggest that they cover all the alcohol related health issues…are you.

Well apparently the rest of the people here didn’t get the memo

No I’m not, that’s literally the end goal of all people who are anti-gun.

Thread chain == thread. I was talking about noodle…and wtf why are hunting rifles the worst type?

This entire thread chain is in place to suggest that only guns which are designed to kill, should have their manufacturs liable for what other people do with the product. No other industry was brought up, just guns. Why? Because at the end of the day, you’re all for complete bans, and no amount of “nuh uh, we’re fine with hunting rifles” or whatever else bullshit, that’s the end goal…you just try and sugar coat it so you can try and gain some support for the idea.

The fuck? Vets do much, much more than just euthanize animals. What do guns do other than shoot projectiles intended to kill?

Just using your silly logic…you know vets have captive bolt guns and suppressed firearms as well, does that make their tools pointless because they only kill?

How do guns defend without using the threat of violence? How do they act as a physical shield?

Same way a sword or knife can be used to kill and also defend, its a force multiplier.

Yes, it’s possible to practice using tools designed specifically for killing. Cars are tools designed specifically for transport, and people have contests for driving those, too.

Glad you’re grasping it

Why is it so hard for you to accept that guns are tools designed specifically for killing? That’s literally just what they are.

Because I’m not the one that suggests magically thinking banning them all will make the world a safer place. Do you think the 100lb woman can defend against a 250lb man? Or what about minorities who are threated by a few racist fucks? Or an LGBTQ+ person who has a bunch of bigots trying to kill them? Should these people just not get a gun because it’s designed to kill? What tool do you suggest they use?

This is like saying veterinarians are killers with their tools because they euthanize animals…

Just having arms is a deterant, yes firearms are designed to destroy, they’re also designed as a defensive tool.

You clearly ignored sports shooting which is an actual sport, even an event in the Olympics.

You cannot get select fire firearms as a civilian, they’re effectively banned.

You can sport shoot with them, you can hunt for food with them, and every military uses them…for mainly defense.

Uhh really hope that’s sarcasm…

I mean… you’re correct lol

The ability to move upward in capitalism is much greater than in any other current economic system. Acting like capitalism is the sole reason for the current divide is silly

Correct, no clue why I pointed this out and got downvoted but you say the same thing and get people agreeing with you…guess I should have kept with the “capitalism bad” circle jerk.
