Post election salt thread

no, but it brings risk. do you shoplift? no (well, probably not). would you do it if it was legal? I imagine so

carrying a gun legal =/= shooting someone legal

as much as i support concealed/open carry, i don't see any reason to have guns on campus.

on the other hand, i think students should be allowed to have guns concealed in their vehicles.

i live in a state that has a lot of hunting and highschool kids who do shooting or hunting as a hobby. sometimes they'll accidentally leave a shotgun in their truck or (and this has happened) had to take their dads truck to school which has a gun rack and they end up getting expelled because of it.

yeah but fun fact it's still illegal to shoot people which is what we're discussing.

what goods a gun in someones vehicle when he's in class?

I'm just talking about letting people keep their concealed carry in a vehicle. school's don't let you do that so you'd have to take the gun out of your car every time you to school

refer to previous post

you don't think the fact that it isn't allowed has ever stopped someone?
if you can bring a gun to school every day, then the line between angry kid and honor student just becomes an emotional spur-of-the-moment decision, instead of a serious psychological disorder

[Trogtor]

you maybe could have picked a better brown townogy than the shoplifting. but nonetheless i agree that guns don't belong in school other than the exception i noted earlier

[SeventhSandwich]

For college campuses, the debate is pretty much moot anyway because most large schools already have armed officers on campus. Ones who are in uniforms that automatically distinguish them from active shooters.

I wonder what the hardcore campus-carry advocates actually expect to happen when there's a shooting at some campus? The person who opens fire will be dressed like a student, and the people in nearby buildings and classrooms will also be dressed like students, while brandishing their legally-permitted handguns. They all go out into the halls, and there will be no way for them to tell the legal gun owners and the shooters apart. It'll be a bloodbath.

well yeah, people protesting a democratic election because they don't like the winner are stupid. Especially when the map of the election looked like this:

this image has a less profound effect when you consider that all those states in the midwest have a population density of like 2 people per square mile (exaggerating, fyi). hillary clinton won the popular vote

Well representation for each state is important, just because everyone on the west coast is fine with Regressive Leftist mentalities doesn't mean the east coast, central US or the south think it's fine.

If the electoral college was a popularity vote, then yes Hillary would have won, but its based on representation not popularity.

The thing is, like, this election wasn't just about taxes and healthcare and political issues. It was more about the value of human beings and diversity, and whether it's okay to step on the lives of minorities and immigrants in order to raise the wages of lower-middle-class whites.

People aren't protesting the election because they think the winner broke the rules - they're protesting because they don't want to allow Annoying Orange to take the presidency quietly. They're speaking up because staying quiet is basically just an implicit acceptance of everything the guy stands for.

As for the image, literally every election looks like that. Those red states occupy a large area of land yet house comparably small numbers of people.

[Wesley Williams]

The main takeaway that I get from the election is that it was a tight race in a bunch of battleground states, but in nearly every case Annoying Orange came out on top (Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona). It seems like the only close call won by Hillary was New Hampshire.

Also the popular vote changes from the existence of the electoral college itself. I live in California and know multiple people that decided to vote third party or leave the president portion blank because we're a guaranteed Democrat state. People making judgements based on such a close popular vote are really grasping at straws.

You neglect to mention that states that have lower population density are often the most productive in terms of agriculture. While NYC might have a lot of people it doesn't produce jack stuff for anyone else except for garbage and money. New York state and NYC are completely separate entities IMO because NYC is a stuffhole of a city.

Lol, what are you talking about. Services (like those provided by urban professionals in NYC) constitute ~80% of our GDP. Agriculture accounts for about 1%, and we approve a farm bill every few years because American agriculture literally cannot subsist without government subsidy life-support. You are vastly overestimating how important agriculture is to our country.
