Not all of course, but how often there is accidents or shootings by legally possessed guns? If getting gun is legally easy then that number is going to be quite high. It's different cause different purpose. Also when asking permit for gun here you have to declare purpose for the gun- either hunting or hobby (collecting needs special permit) and then give prove that you are hunter or that shooting is your hobby (membership card etc.) so getting one isn't easy. You have to prove that you aren't going to misuse it. There are extremely few gun accidents and shootings with legally possessed guns, at least around here according to the media. The news in my country is nothing more than a branch of the government which would love to tighten gun control. They jump onto stuff with legal guns like crazy yet cases are extremely rare, like less than 1 case per year. We have the same laws around here by the way, you have to have a specific reason to own a gun but I can't really see how this would prevent any misuse. Same with my country since few even own guns and those who do have proven they are for hunting or shooting range purposes. I'm more talking about countries- mostly US- where it's easier to buy gun depending on state and lot of cases it's for protection or some other purpose that isn't hunting or shooting hobby- for example protection- and carried with you in public (another thing that is illegal, police is dispatched immediately here if someone even have something that reminds gun in public places, concealed or not). Personally I think my country could stricter, make keeping gun in homes illegal and just limit then to hunting clubs and shooting ranges where they can just used for their purpose.

Personally I think my country could stricter, make keeping gun in homes illegal and just limit then to hunting clubs and shooting ranges where they can just used for their purpose. I'm not ok with this, I have friends that had to draw weapons in their homes because of home invasions, an elderly couple living nearby has been killed by home invaders in broad daylight (with an iron pipe). I'm quite happy I have my guns at home so I can use them to defend my life with should I have to. Like I said, the police takes at least 15 minutes to get here and armed robberies are not as rare as I would like them to be here. If armed robbers break in and I have nothing to defend myself I'm at the mercy of some criminals. I would not let that happen. Also, we have had several cases were entire shooting clubs were robbed of dozens of guns because the shooters stored them there. If burglars broke into the home of a shooting club member they would have only gotten their hands on a couple guns or so, not dozens. Shooting clubs and gun ranges are almost always located a little outside towns or in rural areas due the noise so they are extremely attractive targets for burglars.

Shouldn't this gun discussion be on another thread? I mean, it's kinda sad to ruin this thread with such a discussion imo.

I'll just add this to your weapon discussion. Knife is a weapon. In my country knives are used in over 50% of murders. Follow up question: How would you cut stuff if you weren't allowed to own knives (or scissors)?
Most knives are used for like cooking purposes... only a few types are used for you know stabbing people so not what im talking about really
Ummmmmm your question... my nails???
Doesn't matter what they're used for, by design they ARE weapons. - Killing people... that is NEVER ok... if youre ok with killing someone you shouldnt own a gun and if youre not ok with killing someone then you can use a replica to deter people
Oh, but it is. Or at least morally justifiable, if not OK, in a lot of situations. I can imagine situation when I wouldn't hesitate to kill someone, even though I consider violence to be the last resort of the incompetent. You know, there's a lot of criminals in this world that don't care if it's OK to kill people, and I'd rather be alive and pondering morality of my actions than dead. Just saying.

Do you prefer people who are too stoic or too emotional? I prefer it if he's a combination. I like it if a guy is intense, if he's passionate and a bit emotinal without being the type who cries all the time lol. It's a bit hard to explain what I mean I guess.

Do you eat "typical" breakfast foods for breakfast? My mom always encouraged me to eat whatever I want for breakfast, and I'm not big on things like cereal and toast, and I can't face fish or seafood first thing in the morning...but everything else is fair game, sweet or savoury. One of my favourite breakfasts is leftover beef stew. I don't usually eat breakfast but if I were to eat breakfast I stick with breakfast foods. Eggs, bacon, hash browns, biscuits and gravely, sausage, buttered toast and jelly... Making myself hungry. Do you eat "typical" breakfast foods for breakfast?

One of my favourite breakfasts is leftover beef stew. Isn't cereal mostly sugar nowadays? Don't get me wrong, it really hits the spot when you want something sweet with milk, but wouldn't protein like eggs with avocado be better if you're prepping for a long day? Ok, separate question, should a couple live together before getting married or is it bunk? I believe they should, yes. It's a good way to further test your compatability with your partner before making a life long commitment. I don't think it's a 'necessary' step before achieving marital bliss but a good precaution. What if you partner has disgusting living habits?! What if they are incapable of sharing a bed? Or worst of all: What if they like to spend they're evenings watching crappy reality TV shows?! These are things I'd like to know before I put a ring on it!

I may be late to this but I feel a lot of people get wrong why America has the second amendment. This was not written by me but a user on reddit:
There is a famous Weber quote I'll paraphrase here - "a government is defined as the entity with a monopoly on the legitimate use of force." What makes a government a government is the fact that people generally are comfortable vesting them, and only them, with the ability to lawfully exercise force outside of very specific conditions (self defense being the most obvious).
The second amendment is America's asterisk to that definition - by codifying the right of the private citizens of the United States to keep and bear arms, the founding fathers added one extra scenario where an entity other than the government has the ability to exercise force in a legitimate way.
That way is popular revolt. If a day comes when the people wish to take up arms against the government, that entity which has monopolized the legitimate use of force, the second amendment guarantees that there will be arms availabe to use.
The second amendment isn't about your right to own a gun, it is about your right to - as a public body - withdraw your consent to be governed from the government. The US is one of the few developed countries in this world where the government would be GUARANTEED to fail in instituting martial law if the people at large did not support that decision. The only country in the world where the ultimate limitation on governmental overreach is the fact that the people of this country can mount a legitimate defence to resist the force of the government.
If you take guns away from the public, the avenue to popular revolt becomes much longer and likely to failure, in effect you are removing the dimension of government where popular consent is what vests power in the government, and replacing it strictly with access to force. People are no longer governed because they want to be (although that may be the case), they are governed because the government has access to force and the people do not. The government is no longer emergent from the will of the people, but it is more akin to the mafia.
This might not seem relevant to the current American climate, but that is the point, the current climate is current today, and there is no way to tell what tomorrow brings. If one day the consent of the people waivers, guns need to be on hand to support popular revolt, because the only thing that matters in governance is popular consent, anything else is tyranny.
This is the way our founding fathers thought about the right to bear arms, about what it means to have a government, and how the government and people interacted.
When someone says "You can't take away my guns because of the second amendment" what they really mean is "The act of taking away my guns is the act of taking away my ability to consent to your governance, which makes you a tyrant. Tyranny is antithetical to the soul of this nation, a country with tyranny is not America."
Implicit in discussions of law is the basic premise that completely compromising the fundamental tenants of American governance is off the table.

Do you prefer people who are too stoic or too emotional? If I had to choose between extremes, too stoic. I'm a bit of an emotional sponge - if people around me are upset or angry or whatever, I usually have to remove myself from the situation or I'll just become depressed. That said, people that are unaffected by everything aren't exactly my cup of tea either. I've known men that believe showing emotion is showing weakness, which is bull. It's humanity.

Do you prefer people who are too stoic or too emotional? Tough question, if someone is so stoic that they can't talk about anything, it's hard to make a relationship work. Same applies to someone who is so emotional you can't approach them about anything troubling. Either extreme is unhealthy. If they just lean towards the stoic or emotional spectrum...huh, I'd have to meet them in person and see who is more comfortable to be around.

For one, the people that are gonna commit these crimes aren't really gonna mind that guns are illegal or banned as there's always gonna be supplies from other sources.

In a Utopian world, sure your argument makes sense. But we don't live in Utopia and bad things sometimes happen in real life. Best be prepared to face them than wish the world was different.
Also on topic, red wine all the way, salty foods when I'm hungry, bacon4breakfast and too emotional, although in the last case both are bad but at least with emotional you know what the hell's happening.

The revolt would need a substantial amount of support of defecting military personnel to succeed. Of course I do not foresee this ever happening in my lifetime. I just find the idea of the non-military citizens able to overthrow a tyrannical government to be farfetched.

However with the state of the technology of the US armed forces, I do not think the forefathers could have imagined drones, nuclear bombs, aircraft, etc... Its more of a symbolic nature, taking arms against the out of control government. Its resisting with force instead of standing around and getting beaten and arrested by mere riot police. Resisting with a gun in your hand is way more serious than waving around a protest sign. Once the US government uses its full arsenal and wages war against its own citizen the government and the entire nation will crumble apart. That would never happen.

I know; it was just an unrealistic hypothetical argument I was making. The country is too divided in politics for any of that to happen. I was attempting to point out that well-armed citizens would not be as effective as they were when the US won the Revolutionary War. I am not a fan of guns but I still support the right of citizens to bear arms (no pun intended).

As for a question to the women... I am not telling you all how to apply your make up, but why do you all make your eyebrows look like check marks? Is Nike paying you to advertise? Or is it a cultural thing?

Shooting animals is ok, as I pointed out in this day and age forests do not survive without hunting. Also, humans have been killing and eating animals since we have evolved from apes, eating meat is one of the things that allowed us to develop a culture, grow more brains and get a higher intellect. The caloric density of meat is so big after a successful hunt people had spare time to develop technology, a culture, art and civilization. If you are gathering plants all day long - which is what you need to do to stay fed if you ware vegetarian in the stone age- you do not have time to develop anything. Also you do not need much brains to graze, hence why the majority of herbivores stayed relatively dumb throughout the ages. Also hunting brought people together and act as a group, strengthening the development of civilizations and tribes. You should be thankful for all your predecessors killing animals and eating meat. Suddenly saying its not ok to kill animals and eating meat is bad is nothing but a luxury and to be frank, quite stupid.
Shooting animals isnt ok... if animals are gonna die then do it in a better way I think... im fine with people eating animals what you want to eat is your decision BUT animals shouldnt be killed by average people I think
I agree with you General shooting animals is not okay i almost see two deer every day hanging around my house in the morning and then to shoot such beautiful creatures that would be so cruel.

Welcome to BSN. Where every discussion will eventually devolve into puppies versus kittens! Question time: How comfortable are sleeping next to someone else? Not gonna lie, most difficult part of any relationship for me. It took me months before I got used to sleeping next to my significant other. Very often I went to the couch just to get some sleep. Falling asleep has always been really hard for me. Do you guys prefer your own blanket or a shared one? Definitely shared.

I am not telling you all how to apply your make up, but why do you all make your eyebrows look like check marks? Is Nike paying you to advertise? Or is it a cultural thing? I don't do that I don't believe in looking unnatural with lots of makeup unless it's for a special photo shoot, which I actually had taken once lol but that was for the pictures sake, otherwise I hardly use any. I like looking natural but still with a little makeup on to look "okay" lol. I only use a little on my eyes, eyeshadow, eyeliner and then perhaps some lipstick, I never use anything on my skin. I guess I'm lucky I don't need to, my moms side are all youthful of looks genetically, has beautiful skin and looks young in an older age, I've been blessed with a nice nice skin. I'm saying that with the risk of sounding too full of myself, it's not my intention, we just look younger, it's the truth
