Nobody cares? Huh, that is weird. Must have imagined all those adds and taxes and other things to reduce smoking.


Ok, so let's look at this. Tobacco kills something like 15x as many people as guns. Nothing at all is being done to further reduce that. You guys claim the conversation has been had on tobacco, and stop gaps put in place to reduce smoking. Good, it is still 15x more deadly than guns. If we're willing to live with that and leave it at that, then you can stay hands off my gun rights.

Actually tobacco kills FAR more people than guns. But no one cares.

Somebody needs to kick the record player that passes as your brain, the needle is stuck. Learn to say something more intelligent, there is only one person on Earth stupid enough to equate gun violence with smoking and that person is you. You're preaching to an audience of zero.

How the everloving shit do you actually believe something that is so demonstrably false? This is, quite literally, one of the most obvious examples of a complete lie that anyone can utter.

Where do you come up with this nonsense? Alternatively: why are you so fucking stupid?

I'm not super interested in that metric, because it misses the main issue. 2nd hand smoke has been greatly reduced. I'm looking to mainly reduce people not wanting to be killed by guns just like we reduced people not wanting to inhale smoke from others.

A couple of the articles I've seen report the fire department as saying 20-50 victims, but haven't read any official confirmation of that. I hope that estimate is waaay too high.

"Margate Fire Rescue has deemed this a mass causality incident, which means at least 20 people have been injured."

Also apparently the shooter is still at large.

Those people out west can go eff themselves with their Carl's Jr!

I have disagreed with you greatly, but this is by far the most offensive thing you have ever said. I will enjoy my In 'n' out and Jack in the Box. Good day sir!

Holy shit I hope that is not true. We just had some shootings on the highway, and now this. God I can't wait to leave this state.

Did you miss the no smoking signs and city / public ordinances? Just where do you find a place where it's legal to smoke these days?

Oh I love In n out, but Carl's Jr is a travesty. They only became good when they bought Hardee's menu, which is why they really are always Hardee's.

Jack in the Box just kills kids with their burgers, afaik.

Please, you tell me where you can get a mad cow burger that is better than Jack's.

Those monster tacos are also legit. Ill eat the shit out of a taco.

The problem here is most shootings are taking place in gun free zones or cities with the harshest gun laws. There are several laws in place, but the unlawful don't care.

Las Vegas has harsh gun laws?

they were loaded with e. coli, iirc. But that is all I know about them, because they don't exist in the southeast where I grew up, when that happened, and so it was and still is the only thing I associate wtih JiTB. I honestly assumed they had completely gone out of business back in the mid nineties because of that, and was quite shocked to see them when I moved out west

Okay, so you infect 700+ people with e coli, and suddenly that's all people can talk about.

Sure they do, but this is America and it's not about gun laws so much as it's about gun ownership. I don't care how strict Chicago is, there are still 300+ million firearms waiting for a psycho to do something like this. America's second amendment is unique in the world in the way it has promoted gun ownership and the inherent consequences therein.
