These stories happen more then people like to admit, although in truth they are hardly reported on and mainstream media doesn't like to dwell on them.

Re: Gun Control

most neighborhood instances of gun ownership stopping a crime do not get reported. this is because all that's sufficient in most cases is flashing a gun or firing a warning shot.

this is also highly income dependent and a lot of people don't know this

Nothing about actual rational gun control stops those households from having a gun in them.

"actual gun control"

yet does not define "actual" gun control

"rational gun control"

yet does not define "rational" gun control

"stops"

yet whole discussion is concerned with degree of access, not absolute ability to obtain

did you think you were gonna drop this sentence and nobody would ask you to so much as elaborate or what

I will say though devonin has a curiously good ability to weigh in on issues like sex, drugs, crime and the hood in a way no other person so unlike people familiar with those things does

it's like there's a google alert he has set up for the most alien he could be to a subject matter's norms

it would not surprise me at all if the price of a background check went up tenfold if they were made mandatory

Well, if you believe there are rational gun controls (in which I include things like, licensing, registration, training) those things don't meaningfully limit anybody's access to firearms. Most people who own guns have the means to drop 50 bucks on a gun license and find a Saturday to go do a training course at a range. Yes, the extremely poor might still find that burdensome, but they pay to get a driver's license, and if getting a gun license when you turn 18 is considered as much a part of being an American as a driver's license at 16, it would quickly just become a thing that got done.

You don't actually know all that much about me beyond the persona I adopt here, which has pretty much always been coloured by the fact that I was staff most of my lifespan on the site. I've been heavily invested in more than a few internet communities for the better part of 20 years now. I know a lot of kinds of people from a lot of parts of the world. And I spend a lot of time making myself aware of what's going on in the world. My degree is in history and philosophy, and the philosophy end was focused heavily into applied ethics. This is sort of my jam.

I wouldn't even know what that means let alone how or why to do it.
