No good Italy will move to Trieste in S1901, but every good Russia will move to Galicia.

Move it to Gal, every time for sure.

I am not sure if you should arrange a bounce with Russia or if you would prefer to take Gal. I'm inclined to say arranging a bounce is usually for the best but I don't really have a good argument for why.

As a US/Canadian dual citizen... yes, this fucking sucks.

The thing is, I believe an oppressive government is more likely to make use of the people with guns than fight them. Populism is some scary shit.

From a practical point of resisting tyrannical governments, the people don't need heavy weapons. This has been explained to death by various people so I don't see any value in explaining it again. Which people? Links? I dispute this claim. A fat middle-aged white man from Reno with a handgun he jus...

yeah, something needs to be done. That something is probably not an assault weapons ban. This has been my position on this thread for a while. And that's fine. While I disagree, I can understand your point of view. You've stated you think perception of mass murder is the issue. How do you go about ...

It's not really whataboutism since that's more about political behavior. It's an argument to absurdity. As Octavious said, it's about logical consistency. Logic is universal, and if we took the logic people used to discuss guns and applied it to other parts of life it clearly falls apart. The argum...

Pretty hilarious story. I can't believe anyone actually believes in arming teachers. How dystopian is that?

As fair as entertainment goes, guns are far less deadly than many alternatives.

Alcohol kills people, and that's just for fun. Cars kill people, that's just for convenience. Fast food kills people, we're not banning that. Something killing people is not sufficient justification for getting rid of it.

I already said other solutions for dealing with mass murders.

Guns are fun. Restricting the rights of all Americans to have fun because some tiny fraction (maybe 100 people out of 300 million americans) abuse that right to commit mass murders is fucking stupid.

Policy that is purely a reaction to a terrorist attack is usually a bad idea. The massive overblown airport security was an overreaction from the right, the assault weapons bans proposed by the left are a similar overreaction. Making society less convenient and pleasant in order to stop a very small...

Three responses: a, handguns are responsible for much more gun violence. b, you can restrict and monitor the sale of ARs without restricting the rights of current gun owners to use their weapons. An outright assault weapons ban is a massive overreaction. c, guns aren't the reason these guys are kill...

This is one of the few things where the right is more correct than the left. People are terrified of ARs because of media hype, when the reality is that they are much much less dangerous for the public than handguns. The notion that bullet velocity or stopping power is what makes a weapon dangerous ...

Ogion said, basically, that there's no reason to have guns. That's the claim Worcej was responding to.

Worcej wasn't saying that there should be no regulations on guns. He was saying that guns being fun is a good reason not to ban them. You are not responding in good faith to his point.

Guns being fun is the best reason to own one and the best argument for their legality. I wish the right would be honest about it instead of all this "but muh liberty shit". Same reason the massive overblown reaction to 9/11 sucks. I don't care about the TSA because "muh liberty", I care about the TS...

Matches have been posted to the tournament site but I’m swamped until Wednesday evening. So game links will go out then for round 3. Which also gives people a little more time to sort out their round two games. The format will likely change a little next season based on what we’ve learned from this...

Funny that at all of the mass shootings that weren't at schools where people absolutely did have the right to carry guns... it didn't do shit.
