Any gun safe capable of being opened quickly by an authorized user would be able to be opened just as quickly by an unauthorized user, aka a child.
I agree with your assertion though, that keeping a gun handy in the presence of an adult is distinctly different from keeping a gun unsecured and not in the possession of an adult. Good point.

The man who would replace Netanyahu, Benny Gantz, considered to be a left-wing Israeli politician, will do the same things that Bibi has been doing... ya know, considering it is a unity government and all. The leftists who think they'll get their way in allowing Hamas to survive by getting rid of Netanyahu really are ignorant.
Sigh. Israel isn't an apartheid state, not even close. Not like Syria, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, West Bank, Afghanistan, Egypt, Yemen, Qatar... need I go on? Muslim Israelis have the same rights as Jewish Israelis. Saying otherwise is misinformation at worst, ignorant at best.
HRW is a pretty terrible source, just saying. Also, I've been to South Africa, and I've been to the National Apartheid Museum. Israel may not be perfect, but it isn't even close to being apartheid.
Any sources to back up your claims? 20% of Israel's citizenry are ethnic Arabs and practicing Muslims. Israel has 100% air superiority over Gaza, if they wanted to ethnically cleanse Gaza or the West Bank, they certainly have the ability to do so. But there is no evidence that they want this. None that I've seen at least.
You know who does want to ethnically cleanse another culture/religion from the world? Hamas. Iran, Hezbollah. The Houthis. ISIS. The Taliban. What do all of these groups have in common, hm? Israel is surrounded by militants who have sworn to eradicate all Jews from the planet. In light of that, I think Israel is showing incredible restraint.
Leftists (in the US, the far-left equivalent of the "alt-right") are the ones currently rioting and protesting across major cities and college campuses across the West. Liberals are overwhelming supportive of Israel. Conservatives are overwhelmingly supportive of Israel. It's the radical extremists who want Israel destroyed.
Calling ~50% of the population "nutjobs" isn't particularly conducive to productive political discourse. Solely using strawman and ad hominem fallacies just make you look like a partisan hack, not a serious person.
It's totally off-topic, but I stand by what I said in that other thread. If you can show me that there is a correlation that evidences decreased violent crime and increased firearms regulation, please let me know, I'm eager to read it. FTR, I get my crime stats directly from the FBI.
I consider myself to be a classical liberal, someone who believes in the liberal values that allowed our great nation to be founded in the first place. To that end, I have no compunction calling out hypocrisy whenever I see it. Do I think Trump is a good person? Hell no. But between him and Biden, I believe that Trump makes the better president. The US and the entire World were objectively better off based on the stats under Trump than they are under Biden.
I'm a "bad actor" for defending both the Constitution and for expressing an opposing viewpoint? lol, ok then.
FWIF, I don't know for sure what the percentage of the US population is that supports Trump, I just know that Trump is leading Biden slightly or is toe-to-toe with Biden in almost every single poll. I also know that according to a Gallup poll a couple of years ago, 36% of polled people say they are conservative and only 25% say they are liberal, with another 37% identifying as moderate. Considering that Trump is the moderate candidate at this point (Biden has moved consistently to the far left during his presidency), I'd say that assuming ~50% of the population supports or at least would vote for Trump based solely on policy isn't the worst reasoning. https://news.gallup.com/poll/388988/political-ideology-steady-conservatives-moderates-tie.aspx
I suppose providing sources for my claims is further proof I'm a "bad actor", eh?
You're the kind of person that will never serve on a jury because you believe that if someone is arrested, they must be guilty. Innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt is the American standard.
Being required to disclose tax records could potentially violate a candidate's Fifth Amendment rights. At the very least such a requirement would require a Constitutional amendment.
The Iron Dome only protects against short-range rockets. Israel's Arrow and Arrow II Endospheric and Exospheric anti-missile defense systems are what most of the missiles that were intercepted by Israel were shot down with.
The implication is that without US assistance, Israel wouldn't have been able to knock out all these missiles. That is unfounded, especially considering that Israel has one of the most advanced high-altitude SAM systems in the world, the Arrow and the Arrow II missile systems.
What if Israeli government sites were located inside the homes of Israeli civilians? What if Israeli military sites were located underneath Israeli hospitals? Would that grant Israel immunity against Iran? Because your line of reasoning would be that the only way to prevent war is to put civilians in harms way, as Hamas has done repeatedly.
It's estimated that between 1,000 and 1,200 settlers surrounded the village, and around 500 stormed it just after midday local time on Friday, blocking all the roads in the area....
Oct 7th was an organized invasion of Israel by Hamas, a known terrorist organization. They also entered Israel with the express and sole purpose of killing as many Jews/Israelis as possible. The rioters in the West Bank didn't go there to kill people by all accounts. If they had, there would be more than just a single death.
The settler rioters were not terrorists by that definition, because they were not trying to accomplish a political aim, they were angry and lashing out because islamic terrorists from the West Bank kidnapped and killed (?) a 14 year old child.
False. A significant number of these Palestinian Arabs are members of the IDF, and there is no second-class citizenship in Israel. The Israeli government also does not prohibit employment based on race, ethnicity, or religious affiliation. Calling Israel "apartheid" is a tankie talking point and is observably and patently false. Do better.

Uh... The PA literally pays people to kill Israelis. It's a terrorist regime, and has almost no power in the West Bank. Recent polls show an overwhelming majority of West Bank citizens under the PA actually would select Hamas as their governing party, should elections occur. Kinda impossible to make peace with two organizations who's stated purpose is the eradication of all Jews, don't you think?
Are there any actual statistics that show that this new regulation will decrease illegal gun sales? AFAIK law-abiding citizens already follow the law. All this will do is once again increase the burden placed on people trying to practice one of their constitutional rights. Unless you can provide statistics that indicate this will actually work?
No other constitutional right is as heavily-regulated as the Second Amendment. The idea that one needs to ask permission from the government before exercising a constitutionally-protected right is anathema the entire concept of inherent rights.
That's a bit disingenuous. The actual legislation doesn't mention this issue at all, and one of the co-authors has even come out and said that the ATF's reliance on that law is perversion of the intent of the legislation.
Anything involving a constitutional right should have significantly more say by elected officials and significantly less say by agency bureaucrats.
False. Congress banned the CDC from doing this kind of research. The FBI does perform crime statistics analysis as part of it's Congressional mandate, available at https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov. I am well aware of the stats myself, and there is no correlation between violent crime rates and increased firearms regulations. If you are going to violate people's constitutional rights, you damn sure better have stats to back it up. At the very least.
It's also quite possible that many of the people downvoting me are Europeans or Canadians or something. Keep in mind that the US remains to this day somewhat of a novelty in its approach to rights. In most other democracies, rights are not considered inherent, but are rather granted to citizens by the government. In the US, rights are considered inherent, and the Bill of Rights actually limits the Government rather than grants said rights to the people.
This would mean that anybody ever selling any firearm for any reason will have to register as an FFL? How asinine would that be lol. Either used firearm costs would plummet, as everyone selling would gradually lower the cost of the gun if they resold it, or nobody would ever sell their guns, which would be wasteful and anti-free trade.
Fallout 4 already works pretty well on deck vanilla, even better with some mods. But it's always good news when devs take the steam deck into consideration. Also good news for linux gaming in general.
Updates that change the .exe will always cause incompatibility with F4SE mods until F4SE can release a .dll update. Usually happens pretty fast though.
Keep in mind that Steam Deck compatibility/verification is a lot more than just performance. It also entails controller support, UI/UX scaling and compatibility, and functionality, like being able to pause when the steam deck goes to sleep.
The European Union should suspend its trade and institutional ties with Israel to deter war crimes that amount to genocide in the Gaza Strip, the UN's special rapporteur on Palestine has said....
The linked article is unverifiable: the original "source" has provided no corroborating evidence to support their story (and they are quite clearly biased in all their reporting...), and a google search only returned results which eventually led back to the original "news" organization. Not going to put much stock in that story.
Israel is facilitating the entrance of approximately 1.2 pounds of food per person in Gaza at the moment, and has been since the early days of the war. If civilians in Gaza are starving, which I believe they are based on all available information, then the fault lies squarely with Hamas, who continues to steal virtually all aid that enters the Gaza Strip and use it to further their violent and genocidal agenda.
TL;DR: Link to unverifiable story with no sources, and a blood libel. Great stuff /s
Shipping in food to the people who are starving kinda destroys that narrative, don't you think? Israel and the IDF are facilitating the admittance of hundreds of food trucks every single day. It's not the IDF or Israel's fault if Hamas keeps starving their own populace.
There are literally videos and pictures of Hamas and Gazan civilians raping women and children (yes... children...) during the October 7th massacre. Many of the few women rescued from Hamas' clutches claimed to have been raped, and the doctors who inspected/treated them also confirmed this. It's not propaganda, it's fact.
Yes, the hostages are there because Hamas is an evil terrorist regime with no respect for human life. Their mission is literally to wipe out all Jews in Israel and the entire world. Defending them is... not a great look for anybody.
I stated a fact? No fantasy, wtf? What Hamas has done and by all accounts continues to do is heinous and indefensible. Ignoring the facts as so many people on the left enjoy doing is neither productive nor moral.
I'm sure you won't even see this since you blocked me. But... bro. Chill, and actually do the research instead of believing everything you see on MSM.
More are just a quick google search away. Maybe you'll actually do the research, but I won't hold my breath since you seemingly hide behind ad hominem (and false) claims against people who disagree with you.
