you can't cook either

well i mean you probably could but it would be damn hard

The real question is :

is there anything that in the proper conditions can't be used to kill someone else ?

Blankets. You can throw a "party" with them, but they're too porous to suffocate someone, unlike pillows.

I believe that a dove's feather is utterly incapable of causing any harm whatsoever to a person.

inmates have been known to use blankets to make a noose

so i'm reading amazon reviews of this wovel thing. it sounds brilliant but it is like $150 which is kinda steep for a plastic shovel on a wheel so i'm not diving straight in

anyway i lol a bit at the people in like new mexico saying "works great all winter 5 stars!"

come on how much snow do they even get in new mexico? the ones from rochester and buffalo (new york) can at least be taken seriously

You could also sharpen the base of a feather and use it as a stabbing instrument.

If there's no proof it's been done with a dove's feather I stand by my assertion. I channel SDN-speak for breakfast.

"I gave this product [a SNOW SHOVEL] a 4 because it still has not snowed yet"

why the fuck would you even post that?????//

OK conceded if you have PROOF, you deranged motherfucker! Sorry, just viewed Private Pyle's Full Metal Jacket apotheosis and the endorphins are humming aggressively.

You have hands, yeah? You have a built in weapon.

Cut em off.

i once beat a man to death with my bloody arm stubs

It's just a flesh wound!

now there may not necessarily be a link between gun ownership and violent crime

but i am willing to bet there is one between gun ownership and gun crime

There is also the unintended shooting victim sleeping a block away. These usually end up being small children who catch a stray. Also you're like 20+ times more likely to shoot a family member than an intruder.

i bet there's a link between alcohol and drunk driving

clearly we should ban all liquor everywhere

there's a pretty strong link between you posting and a thread going straight to shit also

If it wouldn't result in horrid crime and more people drinking, I'd actually support that.

i can see it now, massive gun battles at the canadian border as the mob tries to import illegal guns to sell at shooteasies, firing ranges hidden behind a bar or similar front business, the police taking photos of themselves standing in front of a huge bonfire of pellet rifles and ar15s

There would be a full on rebellion, probably with military support if anyone tried taking their precious penis substitutes guns away.

yeah the freepers would making a daring charge in their powered wheelchairs straight into the army and would surely prevail because god is on their side

Well it saves us on Zyklon B.

so on one hand we know that fearing a home invader or whatever is irrational (an understandable irrationality btw; it seems to be human nature to fear intentional human caused stuff more than accidents etc). the odds are higher that you'll be victim to a gun accident than a gun crime if you own one, and similarly, the money you spend on a gun would be better spent on like smoke detectors, since statistically that is far more likely to save your life


BUT on the other hand, does this go both ways? maybe the effort the government puts into gun control would have a bigger life saving effect if it was put into something else, and we shouldn't really worry so much about it?


idk the cost/benefit of gun control seems worth it to me and i support some expansions. (did you hear about the UN arms control treaty that got delayed/killed by - guess who? - the usa last month? seems like a good idea to me but apparently not to the obama admin )

but maybe i'm wrong and we shoudn't get so worked up about it

i'm not against more gun control but the guys that go "let's ban all guns" are pretty massive idiots

If you can afford a Raven .25 you can afford two smoke detectors, or one smoke/CO detector. If you don't have smoke/CO in your domicile but you DO have guns, your priorities are fucked.

Look I just want to enjoy my hobby free from the lies of both sides.
