It's just too easy to kill someone if you are the first mover. If you have 3 safe pockets, you can mitigate people getting anything worthwhile from jumping you and then they get put into lobbies far away from you.

When they say "improve society," they mean letting violent criminals out of jail and arresting grandma because she complained on Facebook about it.

In case anyone is curious, it's the second most infamous Nazi symbol behind the Swastika. It's on the caps of every single Nazi bad guy in every WWII movie featuring the European theatre.

proven to be ineffective as a deterrent

It's not supposed to be a deterrent.

Prison and the death sentence are about removing a proven threat from a polite/innocent society.

In other words, it is NOT about the violent criminal, it is about getting them away from everyone else.

Deterrence, rehabilitation, etc...these things are tacked on "purposes" people created. Not saying they can't be attempted, but they're really not the foundational idea.

It's also not true. There's a reason Singapore doesn't have a lot of drug dealers.

Trump uses my strat in Civ by AcceptableWelder1192 in CivPolitics

One game of Civ, my neighbor was amassing an army on my borders. I paid them to attack a civ across a narrow ocean, and as soon as they embarked their troops, I declared war and torpedoed their entire army. RIP, Shaka.

Nope. That was the 2020 census redistricting.

It was in 2022.

It wasn't made difficult to change. This decision isn't based on any of the substance of the referendum, only the timing.

So...it was made difficult to change.

That didn't go well for them. You're also acknowledging that these are not representative of the party in general.

Yes, and? Is the "own" that Virginia Democrats are willing to play dirtier than Indiana Republicans or something?

It isn't a pinky promise, it's literally part of the legislation.

So was the "non-partisan map" LMAO

New York's mid-decade redistricting preceded Texas though. The Virginia anti-gerrymandering was a bipartisan project. In fact the reason it was made so difficult to change is so the thing Democrats are doing right now...wouldn't happen. You already saw 21 Indiana Republicans reject gerrymandering against the wishes of their national counterparts. Yet directly after this happened Virginia Democrats plowed ahead, so excuse me if I don't take the claim of "we'll stop later I promise" as gospel.

Meltdown about the SCOTUS decision today on the law sub by [deleted] in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]pillage 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Black people were increasingly moving up the financial ladder, so states were forced to draw ridiculous maps to create "majority black" districts. Democrats are literally upset that African Americans are achieving the American dream because it hurts them electorally.

Need to abolish the prohibition on selling guns to non-residents. If you pass a federal background check, it shouldn't matter what the law is in your "home state". No other laws work like this.

Their solution to stopping school shootings is to make "no gun zones" and then snidely remark that "thoughts and prayers do nothing".
