Which would be covered in sex ed already.

Yes I agree do all of this, don’t just shoot everything you see. But on the chance this fails or you make a mistake, you should have a gun as a last resort.

Agree but you need to be very mindful for the type of gun.

Any more typical pistol like 9mm, 380, 45ACP won’t do much against a bear. 10mm high penetration rounds (ie not holopoints, hard cast is preferable) is probably the minimum I’d want if I can’t carry a rifle in bear country.

What are you on. Life and death situations are textbook uses for guns no matter how antigun rights you are.

What? That link immediately refutes this claim in the next sentence “Although this claim has been disputed because of the 83 incidents in the Smith study[10] only 18 cases involved an aggressive bear, and of those 18 only 9 involved a charging bear.”

Buc-ees is life. One of the best parts of a road trip.

Now you’re thinking like a patriot.

No interest in negotiating my constitutionally protected rights for the hope we finally get the social services and labor protections we deserve.

Yes I agree with the first 5 words of your comment.

Those other places also implemented things that actually reduce all violence like universal healthcare, workers rights, stronger welfare, maternity/paternity leave, mandatory vacation time, etc.

Places like the UK have lower rates of murder via martial attacks (punches, kicks, strangle, etc) yet I don’t think they have gym control limiting how strong you can be.

Happy, healthy, financially safe people don’t commit violence.

Yup. Even if you’re antigun, States blatantly disregarding federal directives should concern you.

Gun control doesn’t stop. The goal is always disarmament and people believing otherwise is why it gets to happen.

I’m in love with my EDC light, the Nitcore P23i. 3000lm, 55000cd, great UI with instant access to strobe and turbo, glass cracker lense ring, and the build quality feels like you could run over it with a tank.

ChatGPT can be tricked into giving IED instructions if you ask the right way. So it could be a similar situation.

My guess would be he wasn’t self hosting the AI network so the requests were going through a website.

In a way I’m rooting for California. The more gun laws they get appealed all the way to SCOTUS, the more national precedent gets set that these laws are illegal in the whole country.

Your comment makes no sense. Government regulations, like most antigun folks want “well regulated” to mean, would mean laws limiting the militia. Well regulated in the 2nd amendment actually means in good working order as my link says.

A well regulated clock keeps accurate time. A well regulated engine produces horse power efficiently and reliably. A well regulated militia has plenty of ammo and supplies and knows how to use them.

SCOTUS ruled it unconstitutional a last year.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”

Arms are a “right of the people” not the militia. A militia is a result of, not a prerequisite for, the right to bear arms. “well regulated” doesn’t mean government regulation it means well armed, supplied, and trained

Well regulated has nothing to do with government regulations. Its means well armed and trained

No worries. I’ve done that on lemmy more then once lol
