You can't make generalizations about entire groups of people. That's very counterproductive. Yes, some people on that side are with the Nazis and they rightly deserve to eat shit. Not everyone who is conservative or right wing or whatever is an asshole shit head nazi sympathizer. Grow up.

I'm right there with you, honestly.

That's what I was thinking, but then I didn't really know how to categorize centrism. I feel like they're pretty similar, but have to have some sort of distinction. I suppose I must consult the Google.

Are centrists and independents lumped together? I call myself an independent because I'm tired of the bs of both sides. Both sides do have great things to offer, and dumbasses at the same time. But, for clarity, I don't take a middle ground stance on most things, I have varied opinions that bounce from side to side.

Ngl the lemming thing went over my head too, so thanks for explaining

Dang that's even cooler than the one I got!

I mean, there are states that will deny someone a firearms license if they have been to a mental facility within a certain period of time. Even after that amount of time is up, you have to take a psych eval before being able to reapply for the license. So, the way I see it, what I'm saying isn't too far off from being implemented.

Honestly in this last one I think the proper authorities really dropped the ball. As soon as this guy went into a mental facility he should have been flagged for having guns and steps should have been taken to restrict his access to them. You're using a very broad brush to paint all gun owners one way when it's absolutely not the case. Some people take self defense extremely seriously. Look out at human history. Look out at the natural world. Killing is a serious constant in life. If you want to see what people are capable of when one group of people have guns and another doesn't, look at Israel v Gaza. Look at slavery. Small groups of people can control large groups of people solely for having guns. So coming back to self defense, the gun is the greatest equalizer, unfortunately. I believe in having smart, efficient, and effective gun laws, but at the end of the day I only put 100% faith in myself for protecting myself.

I think everyone I've talked to who carries a gun hopes to never have to use it in a life or death situation. I love guns and hate people who use them to kill.

As someone who is learning, I think it's imperative to understand that chatgpt has limitations that cannot be overlooked. It's pretty good if I make some silly syntax or formatting errors, but at the core I have to understand what I'm working with if I want to be a better programmer. I love the conversational nature because I often have a hard time wording questions, so it helps me in that regard as well. Idk if you want to be truly good at something you have to be more reliant on yourself than external tools.
