Gun Laws

Recently there has been a tragedy involving the death of a 8 year old boy and a accident with a Uzi sub machine gun. The even occurred earlier in the week at a gun show in Connecticut when a young child was given a Uzi for practice. The father and the professional gun instructor where both present at them time and in the area watching the boy. What occurred was as the kid fired it the recoil from the weapon caused the gun to accidentally get fired into the boys head killing him.

Now it has gotten international attention law makers are trying create a law that will make it illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to fire a automatic weapon. I dont think this ia valid solution for this and to prevent it from occuring again. This is just a tragic accident which could have easily been avoided and a law does not need to be created for this.

With this people are trying to figure out who the blame for this belongs to. I do not know all the details from it and more likly then not neither do they. Some are saying the father needs to be charged in some form or another for this but i disagree on that. The blame should fall on to the gun instructure for not following proper safty procedures. He should have had his hands on the gun while the kid was fireing to stabilze the gun and prevent this and for his negligence the child died from it.

Really I don't see any reason for an 8 year old boy to fire an automatic weapon. But hey I'm from Britain I don't even understand the american obsession with firearms...

Actually i was considering a follow up on this as they just recently ended the court case. They tried charging the promoter of the gun show with the child's death but he was acquitted. But i agree no need for the child to fire it, but more along its not the promoters fault but the parent of the child but not to the extent he needs to be charged with the accidental death of his own son.

Time for a peaceable revolution?

“If a thousand men were not to pay their tax bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood. This is, in fact, the definition of a peaceable revolution, if any such is possible.”  The above quote is from 1849 Henry David Th oreau within his book Civil Disobedience.  He grappled with the governments support of the Mexican American war and the governments support of slavery.  His aunt even offered to pay the tax so he could avoid jail time.  He still refused out of principle as it being paid by another would still defeat the purpose of the protest. As of this morning the President Trump has threatened all citizens rights to peacefully protest by attempting to punish funding to colleges and students at those colleges.  The threat from the president was sent early morning via his Truth Social platform.  This is a direct attack on 1st amendment rights on...

MBArainrot: The Credential That Trains You to Speak PowerPoint

MBArainrot: The Credential That Trains You to Speak PowerPoint The MBA used to be marketed as a passport to greatness. Pay a six-figure tuition bill, endure two years of jargon seminars, and you too could join the ranks of “leaders of tomorrow.” What it actually delivers is MBArainrot , a kind of corporate brain infection where creativity dies, buzzwords multiply, and people convince themselves that slide decks are strategy. The Sacred Case Study The beating heart of the MBA is the case study, which is basically adult fanfiction for executives. Students sit around dissecting “what Jeff Bezos should have done in 1999,” as if they are one clever sentence away from unlocking the secret to Amazon. Spoiler: the secret was luck, timing, and ruthless logistics, not a color-coded SWOT chart. Frameworks for Everything, Solutions for Nothing MBAs love frameworks the way toddlers love Legos. Porter’s Five Forces, BCG matrices, Lean Six Sigma you name it, they’ll slap it on a problem until the pro...

Utah Gov another wearer of the hate blindfold

 Too quote the gov of Utah  “I want to thank my fellow Utahns. You know, this bad stuff happens. And for 33 hours, I was praying that if this had to happen here that it wouldn’t be one of us — that somebody drove from another state, somebody came from another country. Sadly, that prayer was not answered the way I hoped for — just because I thought it would make it easier on us" Just another hate blinded bigot that wants to have an excuse to initiate a pogrom.  The shooter turned out to be demographically uncooperative and  they can not cope. "We can return violence with violence. We can return hate with hate. And that’s the problem with political violence, is it metastasizes, because we can always point the finger at the other side." cope and seethe fascist dickhead
