So we need billions more bullets and millions more guns. Because America will not be safe until every man, woman and child has a couple dozen guns, nu?

Imagine how safe that'd make Marquette's campus!

How safe would campus be if only criminals had guns? Its time logic and not emotion was added to the discussion. Millions of people legally and lawfully own guns and daily do not commit crimes.  look at statistics for murders with knives, baseball bats, hammers etc. there are violent humans and laws do not deter them.

I once got my debit card skimmed from an actual bank ATM in Chicago.  That was super fun

The only crime here is that you're still using cash.   Boomers....    ::)

Wells,

Could you point out the last time you saw a news report about a child killed while walking down the street by a stray knife intended for someone else? Or a senior citizen beaten to death in his or her home by an errant baseball bat?
Or maybe the last time a child got a hold of his dad's tool box and accidentally hammered himself to death?
Portraying guns as "just another weapon" like a knife or baseball bat is criminally stupid.

And yeah, let's look at the statistics.
In 2020, 13,663 Americans were murdered with a firearm. All other causes combined - knives, blunt objects, arson, poisoning, beating, etc. - totaled 4,150.

If it acts like a boomer and does things like use ATMs like a boomer, then it's got the soul of a boomer.    ;)

-pre-UberX in Chicago and the height cabs still trying to fight credit card usage at any turn.

-plenty of dive bars and other late night haunts were cash only.  Or cover at smaller music venues

-doormen, cleaning services, and delivery guys didn't all have a Square reader or Venmo.

But a 26 year old going to an ATM then was classic boomer behavior, LOLZ.  I call complete and utter BS that many people have been completely cashless for a decade plus in this country.

You don't have the stomach for what it would really take to effectively stop or at least radically reduce gun violence in the USA. Maybe nobody does. Maybe the cost would be too high. But as long as that is true the rest of this stuff is mostly noise. Collateral damage or not, the law abiding gun owners aren't giving up their weapons as long as the bad guys have theirs.

Sorry for taking all the raucous fun out of such a clever and witty joke about a post from 3 weeks ago.  Mea Culpa

Be careful out there.
QuoteSidewalks below Chase Tower closed
High winds in Milwaukee damaged the glassy exterior of the downtown Chase Tower, prompting police to close sidewalks in the area as glass fell from 15 floors up.Milwaukee police reported the incident around 1:30 p.m. Thursday, asking the public to avoid the 100 block of East Wisconsin Avenue after the window broke. Police said sidewalks surrounding the building would be shut down and officers would assist in directing traffic.
