The Gun Control Debate Thread - Controlling autism since 2022

[Don't Tread on Me]

You've been avoiding my main argument all the time. It doesn't matter statistically how many americans may have rifles or % of violence from handguns. My argument is that war rifles should be regulated because they are incredible facilitators of spree killings.

So what? If someone buys a war rifle and kills 200 people, you arrest them and charge them. Same as if they used a pistol and killed one person.

What the fuck is that?

lol, gunfags don't read history and are to lazy (or fat) to google. Should have known.

Well excuse me for not knowing some vague leftoid buzzword. But I'll be a gentleman and disregard your gutter insults. After all, it can't be helped. You made yourself out to be an idiot on a subject you're ignorant of, you tried to fling a baseless accusation at me on an unrelated subject, and now you're searching for any perceived high ground over me, as if that will make my points any less valid.

You cannot make a bomb out of basic household supplies.

There are a few ways to make a bomb with basic household supplies. One way is to fill a balloon with acetone and then insert a wick into the neck of the balloon. When the wick is lit, the heat from the flame will cause the pressure inside the balloon to increase, causing it to explode. Another way is to mix together bleach and ammonia in a bottle. This will create a chemical reaction that produces chlorine gas, which can be used as a weapon or explosive device.

One option for an ignition source is a match or lighter. For the fuel, something like sugar or gasoline will work well. And finally, for the oxidizer, common household items like bleach or peroxide can be used. Of course, there are many other combinations of these ingredients that will also work - it really just depends on what you have available and what you feel comfortable using. Once you've gathered your materials, the next step is to combine them in such a way that they create a reaction powerful enough to detonate your device. This part requires some trial and error (and probably some YouTube research), but essentially you want to mix everything together so that the explosion happens quickly and forcefully when ignited by your chosen ignition source

The most common way is to use an empty soda can and fill it with flammable liquid, such as gasoline or diesel fuel. Then, you would take a piece of wire and create a spark by striking it against the can. This will cause the vapors inside the can to ignite, creating an explosion. Another way to make a bomb is to combine ammonium nitrate fertilizer with fuel oil in order to create what's known as ANFO (ammonium nitrate/fuel oil). This method is often used by terrorists because it's relatively easy to obtain both ingredients and they're also very explosive when combined together. To detonate this type of device, you would need something like dynamite or C-4 plastic explosives; simply igniting the mixture wouldn't be enough.

You literally can, though

I'm not going to fedpost or be baited into fedposting, but you absolutely can.

Sorry, but no. You can make some decent tertiary explosives if you're careful enough to buy a load watchlisted chemicals slowly over time, but you'll still need to build or steal a detonator charge and make something nitro-based for the booster or you won't be able to set it off. That's not trivial to make at home, and the ingredients aren't "basic household supplies".

If someone buys a war rifle and kills 200 people, you arrest them and charge them with murder. The fact that they used a more powerful weapon does not change the fact that they killed 200 people and should be held accountable for their actions.

A small fireball.

Chloramine vapour, not chlorine gas. Not very threatening.

A slightly larger fireball.

A small pop and and a flash, hope you weren't standing within six inches of it.

ANFO is the only practical choice on your list, but unless you use something like nitrobenzene as the fuel oil it's only ever going to be a tertiary explosive and not a real bomb.

Your objections have been sustained. But that doesn't mean that these things can't be deadly. For example one way would be to combine two volatile chemicals together, such as bleach and ammonia. This will create a poisonous gas that can kill if inhaled in large quantities. Another way would be to pack a small space with flammable materials like paper or cloth, and then ignite it with something like a lighter or match. The resulting fire will quickly spread and could easily cause serious damage or even death.

These may not explosions, but they can cause some serious damage.

They can be very deadly if Allah is with you and you can trap a bunch of people in an enclosed space, but if you're going to attempt a spree killing and can't use a gun, I think you'd be much better off with a kitchen knife or stolen car. Homemade bombs aren't really feasible in a post 9/11 world.

Indeed. And as others have made evident, spree killings with a knife or machete are no less deadly than ones carried out with a rifle.

Don't be retarded, knives are a lot less deadly than rifles.

 

[The Foxtrot]

Right, so the fact that more people are stabbed to death rather than shot is meaningless because a rifle wasn't involved?

The point is that if someone's got murder on their minds, they'll carry it out with whatever's at hand.

If you decide one day to go outside and kill as many random people as you can, are you going to take your AR-15 or your statistically superior kitchen knife?

Nigger, stop trying to have a cheap "Ha, GOTCHA!!!" moment and look up the fucking statistics.

I'm not trying to gotcha you and I don't care about the statistics. If guns get banned, people will use knives. If knives get banned, people will use rocks. Murder rates are governed by social and economic factors and seem to remain constant regardless of access to weapons. I'm on your side as far as this goes.

But when it comes to spree killings, a gun is obviously much more deadly than a knife and when you start dribbling retard shit trying to suggest otherwise is when you lose all the normal people who would otherwise agree with you.

I'm not "dribbling retard shit suggesting otherwise", mate. Statistically speaking, if someone's going to fuck you up, in order of what's most likely, it'll be bare-handed, using a blunt object, using a knife, and then farther along down the list is a "long gun".
Is a gun more deadly than a knife? Yeah, sure, if you have someone behind the trigger who isn't an untrained/inexperienced amateur, with a firearm that's actually firing a powerful enough cartridge to guarantee a fatality in the right spots (so weak, underpowered cartridges like .32 ACP don't count, and hits to the center mass or head are infinitely more dangerous to shots in the arms/legs, provided an artery isn't hit in the limbs).
But how many mass shooters and spree killers actually could have been considered experienced shooters versus how many were enthusiastic amateurs who didn't mind just spraying bullets everywhere with no real regard for accuracy or precision? This is what makes gang shootings so dangerous ; they just start shooting wildly into a populated area that also is where their intended target is, and that's where they unintentionally wind up killing a toddler in her crib or grandpa trying to relax on his porch.

I think gun control greatly impedes spree killers because spree killers with guns tend to be far more successful than spree killers without guns ; I do not think gun control has an appreciable difference in crime or murder rates outside of that, so it's irrelevant if more people get murdered with knives.

"Gun control" doesn't work period outside of total disarmament, which is virtually impossible outside of countries that never had widespread private firearms ownership to begin with (like Japan).
