It's not really the sentiment that's funny but the idea that this hypothetical event wouldn't serve as a "guns protect people from mass shootings," kind of thing. Even if the shooter was in a window you'd still have hundreds of rednecks with ears and rifles who shoot things as a hobby.
Remember in the Vegas shooting, there was that guy on a lower floor with the flashing light and everyone said it was a gun? But then, it turned out to just be a guy with a strobe light, a mountain of cocaine, and a bunch whores - yeah, that guy would have been shot to fuck.
Gun drama is super serious business on the internet. Lots of losers think they will be a hero one day so might as well let everyone own guns. Same folks don't want taxes on the rich because they are gonna win the lottery as well.
Basically, savings, if they are not directly invested, will be put in banks and loaned out. Thus all savings are investments. Investments ultimately cause the economy to grow in the long term.
Dude, I'm not a commie. I just believe in a progressive tax structure. I am all for individual and national fiscal responsibility but I am of the opinion that you need spending to drive demand. Taxing the shit out of the middle class and giving tax breaks to the wealthiest doesn't do that. Regardless you should should invest everything in bitcoin or tulips.
If you just raise demand the GDP will regress to the mean in the long run, as well as raise prices. Positive demand shocks are a necessity only if you're dealing with a recession or something of the ilk. That's the main problem with the tax bill; it injects money into everybody's wallets (except rich people in blue states, lol) at a time when the economy is already doing well and might facilitate a bubble. They probably should have just lowered corporate taxes and not done anything with the personal code except for eliminating the mortgage interest deduction.
Rich people have a much higher Marginal Propensity to Save than poor people, that is, if they get a dollar they'll put more of it in the bank. And savings = investments.
i don't know it sounds like an awesome way to commit suecide.
would put the idea that all these people can easily identify who's a good guy with a gun and who's a bad guy with a gun before shit happens to the best test.
On the plus side, when /u/pointmanzero snaps and kills a lot of people, absolutely no-one will be saying "oh he was such a nice kid, there weren't any signs he would do something like this".
/u/worlds_best_nothing I’d say firebombing Dresden and Tokyo are about as close to attempting genocide that you can get....oh and dropping a nuclear bomb.
Comparing strategic bombing to the systematic and deliberate extermination of the Jews in concentration camps by the Nazi regime? I would love to hear your definition of genocide!

Wouldn't really have been that much of a loss, tbh.

Getting blood on the coke = party foul
1 Ranilen 2018-01-08
There's worse ways to go out than partying so hard people think you're a spree killer.
1 pointmanzero 2018-01-08
It would prove everybody having guns make shit worse
1 grungebot5000 2018-01-08
well if sending a bunch of armed rednecks into a panic actually gets the situation under control, then sure
i mean, the principle usually applies when it's like, a robbery or something, maybe it'd apply to mass shootings too

United States sure sounds like a government.

Why does ShariaBlue always sound like it is running on some really euphoric software from 2003?

Have you heard of the savings-investment identity?
1 iprobablyneedahobby 2018-01-08
Nope, but reading the wikipedia for it reminded me that I am not a clever man.

I love the edit
1 iprobablyneedahobby 2018-01-08
Yeah, that makes sense. I didn't study economics so I just have a layman's grasp. I still think we should eat the rich though
1 SlavophilesAnonymous 2018-01-08

1 iprobablyneedahobby 2018-01-08
Yeah, that seems to working out really well for us in the first world. We should just eat the rich and revert to a shell based economy
1 SlavophilesAnonymous 2018-01-08
It is; that's why we're the first world.
1 iprobablyneedahobby 2018-01-08
That is why inequality is the highest since the gilded age and people are voting for crazy shit.

What kind of a retard would try to shoot up the one place where everyone is guaranteed to have a gun?

Also lol at ISIS claiming responsibility for one guy getting shot in the ankle. Truly the west is trembling.

nah the NRA is still a bunch on morons, they're just morons who are excessively prepared for an active shooter scenario
1 shallowm 2018-01-08
To be fair, they got shot by police, not attendees.
1 grossblau 2018-01-08
Same idea though.. "let's try shooting up a venue that will be heavily guarded by a bunch of people with guns"

Ironic terror attack/mass shooting?! Drama would post no less than three posts.

On the plus side, when /u/pointmanzero snaps and kills a lot of people, absolutely no-one will be saying "oh he was such a nice kid, there weren't any signs he would do something like this".
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Exhibit C
Please keep yourself safe so that others do not become unsafe.

1 worlds_best_nothing 2018-01-08
Man, every day the definition of genocide gets looser and looser.
Why don't we stick to the definitions: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/genocide
Comparing strategic bombing to the systematic and deliberate extermination of the Jews in concentration camps by the Nazi regime? I would love to hear your definition of genocide!
