Paris Police HQ knife attack

[Greater vakolicci haven]

I mean. Knives already kill more people a year than 'assault weapons' in AMERICA.

This guy would have easily killed way more than 4 with a gun, but why ruin a chance to dunk on gun regulation advocates?

lol

Your point?

[Loben The 2nd]

Oh god fucking damn it.
private citizen - a citizen who does not hold any official or public position.

I didn't know the law only affected politician and state employees.

Silly me

not exactly. if you dont have a position in government what business is it of the state if youre carrying around a knife or gun?

Guns bad.

[Ifreann]

Exactly, they're not banned.

just restricted.

which doesnt really solve the problem of violence, if you ask the charlie hebdo crowd or people who were in paris a couple years back.....

But if only public officials were restricted from carrying knives, that would solve the problem of violence?

Gun fetishists can't resist using a crime story to dunk on gun regulation in the same breath they cry about not politicizing gun violence.

it might for their political opponents.

any other cute nicknames you came up with?

between this and your need to refer to trump as 'donnie' its kinda worrying.

How?

[Loben The 2nd]

How?

surely you dont want the Opposition to be armed?

But any form of weapons control is bad. The police could have installed weapons that they didn't even hav to get away from their desks to aim in their own station if they wanted to.

If it bothers you that much go file a report already.

I don't understand what you're getting at.

and here i thought i was going to get a lecture on 'concern trolling'.

it doesnt bother me much gauth, but try to be more honest when it comes to naming people.

It's no business of the state what weaponry anybody is carrying on their person. The state doesn't know their reasoning for it, nor does it need to.

The bare minimum job of the state, the entire foundation of the social contract, is to provide security. If you carrying an 500 mossberg and a panzerfaust into a bank or on a train is a possible security threat - then it is the business of the state.

This post reminds me the GTA 5 radio add that says shootings can be stopped if everyone had a gun.

Funny how parody is now being used as unironic arugments nowadays.

Anyway, this attack is horrible. My condoleances to the familles of the deceased.

The states bare minimum job is to ensure security. If you possessing a weapon posses a security risk, then it is the business of the state

Security is unimportant to me. I couldn't care less what the murder rate is.

And where's this social contract? Does it come with a cooling-off period? I don't remember signing.

State bad.

Securty I don't care about there for no one else cares about it either.

Lots of people care about all sorts of things, doesn't mean we should all be forcibly subjected to those things.

Bullshit. He would have killed one, then the alarm would have gone up from shots fired.

Knives are quiet and enable you to maintain the element of surprise like happened here until he was spotted and killed.

[Unstoppable Empire of Doom]

Find some other tragic deaths to shitpost about? Maybe there was a car crash recently, you could say we need car control.

Why is it everyone always misses the obvious solution to all of this: death control.

Ban police
Cut off everyone's hands
Mass extinction of human race
Free weed for everyone
Accept that it happened and move on.

Ah yes the horrable subjectation of being safe.

Not haveing you or your property dammaged.

What a evil nightmare.

Ban police sounds alright.

Kind of implied - seeing as how you've been living off the collective efforts of society's labor. You know, police and military to protect you, environmental regulations to give you clean water and air, roads, electricity, education, food, healthcare, etc.

You know , things you've been utilizing your entire life, and are expected to contribute to.

Course - if you dont like all the prosperity - you're free to leave the social contract. All you gotta do is move out of the country to somewhere with no government

I was rather hoping we could talk about whether workplaces are becoming increasingly toxic before we jumped straight into a gun debate.
