AWTY brought up anecdotal evidence, on a forum where what's expected or us is more than simply anecdotes.
Now she's going around posting about how no one should feel unsafe at a mall. Well, guess what bud? They are safe at the mall. Safe as all fuck. Black men are more likely to get struck by lightning than killed by police, and you are probably more likely to get struck by lightning twice than get shot in a mall shooting. So, that tells you how much AWTY's anecdote is worth. As much as I paid for it. Now, let's keep our priorities straight here. NONE of us are dying in mall shootings. It's not happening.
But, some of us may die, driving on the road. And Helios refused to answer my thought experiment for a reason (where prohibition of alcohol is assured to be successful in an alt universe). Because he wouldn't want to ban alcohol, but at the same time, Helios is too embarrassed to tell the forum that he'd choose alcohol over thousands of innocent lives.
I have zero fucks to give about your conversation with AWTY. I'm addressing your abhorrent dismissal of lives in favor of some nebulous idea of "freedom."
BTW, your argument against AWTY is a bad fucking straw man any way. There are reasons we require licensing for driving and are constantly amending laws and regulations for automobile safety. Something conspicuous only in it's absence concerning safety in gun ownership.
Now, kindly take you abhorrent behavior and logical fallacies and fuck right off, mmm-kay?
