It would take a constitutional amendment, something that isn't going to happen.

You're going to need a source on the claim that most violent crime is in the furtherance of other profitable crime? You ever heard a phrase such as "if weed were legal then people wouldn't kill each other selling weed"? I thought this was settled science. Is it so outlandish an idea that most people who kill do it because it is profitable for them to do so that you want me to google it for you?

Alright, so let me ask you, what does "common sense" gun control look like?

You must really know what you're talking about huh

The two what?

So you're a covert white supremacist?

So if Walmart killed them all, but they're too far away from a lot of people, then presumably at least those people would've kept the general stores in business, no?

I said it was sarcasm.

I did no such thing. I'm convinced that climate change is mostly man driven by fossil fuel burning.

Yeah I understand that, but I don't think it's a good rule even generally speaking. It doesn't actually prevent abuse, all it does is disempower people from being autonomous via social stigmatization as a mechanism rather than penalty of law.

But they're all behind the line. If we want to pass a clearly worded ordinance about every allowed and disallowed behavior in society then this is the game we are playing. It's not defending the guy, it's pointing out that if you want to live under clear laws, you can't just blur up the lines when it suits you.

Is the dude a scumbag? Probably. But I've lived long enough to see things go from legal but totally not OK, to illegal as it should be, to let's make everything illegal because someone else doesn't like it, and I fully expect one day that someone's going to try to say you can't fuck someone more than 3 years your junior no matter how old they are.

What this dude did is absolutely not socially acceptable, but what is socially acceptable is just fashion. Was it immoral? I don't know, did he lie to her about what their deal was together? It was most certainly not illegal, and nobody was coerced.
