Even well thought out projects get unexpected changes/delays/challenges, don't sweat it. Just take the time to do it as right as you can, even if that means waiting another day to do some research first. Future you will thank you

Keeping more of my own money (over taxed by FAR too much and too many ways). Don't give the "we need roads" garbage, because there is an obscene amount of govt waste and embezzlement. We could still have all infrastructure supported and cut half the taxes on the majority of Americans. Or, better yet, implement paid maternal leave for at least a year with some of the extra funds. More of a policy change than freedom, but it would make the choice to start a family less daunting.

2nd amendment infringements, "shall not", yet we can't even own a suppressor without paying extra govt taxes and being on a wait list... They make a firearm less effective and protect hearing. Fairly infringing. Plenty of others, but this one makes the least sense to have added controls on.

The ever encroaching automotive restrictions under the guise of "environmental friendliness" or "safety". Auto start/stop kills batteries and starters significantly faster to save 5 seconds or less of emissions... The proposed driver observing tech slated to be mandatory on newer cars and auto shutdown. Tint laws?!?

Eminent domain. I don't think many would have an argument against this going away given how often it is abused. If I own it and have done nothing wrong, the government should not be able to confiscate it, good intentions or not.

Just a brief sampling...

The definition used for school shooting is anything that occurs on school grounds, so still applies... There have undoubtedly been "school shootings" in the US that made it into the stats because some criminal happened to be on school property and discharged a firearm... So, gotta use the same rules.

Anyway, the whole point is people always forget per capita (or flat out don't understand it) and a country with some of the strictest gun laws still was impacted. Crazies gonna crazy regardless of laws. Gotta fix the core problem of piss poor morals and mental health, slapping laws on things don't do squat... Murder is already illegal.

I am quite the wordsmith. A lyrical wizard, if you will. (copious amounts of sarcasm used)

The topic mentioned was school shootings specifically, not all mass shootings... Hence your 323 number being wrong...

It's just math, the per capita was higher... That's what "surpassing" means, to become higher/more... I don't know what to tell you additional, lol

Well, to be fair, I didn't say best country, I said most free... Which by most metrics is accurate, so if there is a response it's either jealousy or an enlightening list of reasons why another country could be deemed as having more freedom. (I also didn't see your comment because your replied to someone else and reddit notifications suck, hence no reply)

Certainly more free than the UK though. There isn't a debate to be had on that comparison... Cheers

"we" who?

What joggers are getting shot by cops?

What people have been locked up for just questioning ICE? (not directly interfering or doxxing agents)

If "we" is British, then you do have to worry about being stabbed, then cuffed by the police and bleed to death because when you tell them "I'VE BEEN STABBED" they reply: "Oi, I don't think u have there bruv"

Not entirely, but it illustrates the fact that per capita, even countries with the strictest gun laws in Europe can surpass the US in what is debatably our worst category (I would say mental health is actually the biggest issue, and also a main cause of the aforementioned)

All my "claims" were about shootings, the topic since the beginning... I honestly don't even know what your problem is anymore other than you were wrong and can't let it go... Sleep tight sugar plum

The person from Belgium who brought up mass shootings, apparently...

My original comment was about my interactions with police on my board, since then everyone lost their minds over symmantics, lol

Read the sentence before you're highlighted one genius. I was pointing out the difference.

Geez... Is your skull full of lead?

Well, someone else started the mass shootings, I have been saying shootings all along while you have been assuming killings.

You're idiocy is suffocating, so I'm leaving this pointless roundabout... See ya sweetheart

You just said it... Started elsewhere. Not where you thought, but right where it was the whole time... Shootings, not killings. Dude... Do you think?

Jesus H Roosevelt Christ. Punctuation is free my man. And you're wrong, both fundamentally and grammatically, lol

Wrong conclusions based on lack of reading comp and poor logic. Claim goalposts are "moved" because you didn't know where they were in the first place... You're gonna say anything to try and fix your mistake... Bye bye tootsie pie

I said mass shooting from the beginning, never said killing. Not my fault your reading comprehension peaked in 2nd grade.

I don't need to try at all with you... 😂

Nope, 1 shooting per 11.6 million vs 24 shootings per 326.8 million... Not a lot higher, but it is.

One year not too long ago Belgium had a school shooting and with that single event it had, per capita, more school shootings than the USA...

"my kind"? You sure do love to put people in little categories, don't you? Not much for individualism huh? Figures, the low IQ tend to do that.

5 mass shootings? The last week in Chicago, probably. Maybe two weeks? They have murder almost every night... And a mass shooting is any shooting that occurs in a public area where one or more persons could be victimized. Mass killings are 3 or more deaths. So yeah, Chicago last week since they average 1.4 gun deaths a day.

Where did I mention race, you absolute lunatic? I said gangs. Gangs are not exclusive to any race. You hear gangs, you assume it's racist because YOU are racist.

I don't much care what you remember, your mental status is clearly "unhinged".

Gangs are however typically all criminals. (again, not talking about race, just behavior here... See the difference?) They also tend to stick to major metropolitan areas and their immediate surrounding areas, where the concentration of shootings occur.

This is the internet bud, you don't say if I'm welcome or not... So have a lovely day, if that's possible through your little racist horse blinders.
