For what it's worth 750 a month is probably less than what a kid costs. Depends on where you live but that seems decidedly low price for a kid

That is misleading.

Every time I fly my plane with my pilot's license I strap an ankle bracelet "on" (I admit I have to turn on my ADSBlol ) and upload that location with a 5 second delay on one of the most popular websites for aviation.

FlightAware tracks all the flights that I've ever made and there's an app for it.

Why do you think this is a problem? You might have dog food for brains.... 🤣

As someone who is not afraid of guns and owns and uses guns a moving target is just literally harder to hit.

Analogy would be a car it's easier to drive a car while stationary it's hard to drive a car on the freeway with other moving cars.

"According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), there were 216,366 traffic accidents in the state in 2022, which resulted in 3,854 fatalities and 165,978 injuries"

And people in cars are not trying to hurt anyone. 🤣

"less than an hour and a half."

Yeah, I'm going with this one. The guys with guns (police) need to cut the response time down to less than an hour and a half.

At least that's my suggestion.

My opinion that would be just like asking who would own the streets you use to get to it.

We don't wonder how that really expensive bridge gets owned... Sometimes it's due to tolls but not always.

You say that like it's a defense though.

Yeah they're paying the people who make the product we sell so little that they don't even get enough money in a paycheck to have it be worth sending them a paycheck!!

" crypto is mostly something they just hope to resell later to a higher bidder"

Unfortunately this is not true. It was getting used for money laundering, which is not reselling to the highest bidder. The proof is in the fact that they payed the fine.

Otherwise what was the fine for?

"with a gun the chances of not being successful are very low."

This is a wild statement anything the back of this one up. I might learn something but I'm not going to take your word for it. I need a source.

Till you provide a source I'm going with this source

Two counter points:

First is gunpowder is a weapon that does level playing field between two people who have different amounts of strength. What I mean is a 6foot 250 lb muscle builder is just as deadly as a 90 year old grand ma.

You have to acknowledge that point even if I agreed to your points.

Unlike all other weapons strength doesn't matter for a gun. Basic biology that women are physically weaker than men. Yes some suggested that a woman shooting a guy in self-defense should be legal and mostly is.

The second is is you are wildly wrong about having access to drugs. I'm surprised you are suggesting that the average American household doesn't have a lethal dose in their medicine cabinet.

So you're saying that if I wanted to suicide I won't if I don't have a gun. What an odd take.

This sounds like the terrible logic of banning abortion. If we ban abortion then women won't have abortions. /S

No that this is sarcasm because legalizing abortion has saved many women's lives

Oh buddy, thinking it's 0 perceived pain is something I'd like to understand. Why do people think gunshots don't cause pain?
