In Italy it's actually being discussed a law to create the car homicide. If you run someone over with your car you get charged for murder, which is not the case now. This cause there are so many stupid accidents due to imbeciles driving while drunk or on drugs that cause a lot of deaths.

I guess deaths only matter when you they can be used as a political wedge.
Liberal compassion is only for those who can be exploited. I never said or even implied they didn't matter. Conflating a rare, isolated incident with a practically monthly, cyclical one is plain dumb and an obvious detraction.
Why does it only trigger outrage for you when there is a mass shooting prompted by a "gun free zone" I mean way more people are murdered than those only involved in mass shootings. Car fatalities are quite comparable in terms of total numbers, and those aren't even recognized as an inalienable right. Why is it that you only pipe up against guns?

Something tells me that a fully automatic gun would be able to hit a Jedi far easier than a blaster would.

Guns are meant to kill, while cars are meant for transport. There's quite a huge difference between the two. I'm all for more severe laws and sentences about cars, like drunk driving .... you should go straight to jail and lose your licence for a long time on the first offense.
A gun's purpose is more often realized without it ever killing anything than it is after shots are fired.

Trying to use the nuclear armament argument for small arms is like comparing running errands to supplying the international space station. Small arms are not a deterrent when they're used constantly and for exactly their intended purpose.

WHO says Meat will give you cancer.
Meat industry responds " no it won't."
Does anyone here really believe eating bacon is going to give them cancer?
Does anyone here think there is a political benefit to shitting over the meat industry?

How many crimes are thwarted without ever pulling the trigger? I'm not really sure why you simply refuse to even acknowledge this point?

The danger is specifically directed anyway at mainly things worked in a certain way like hotdogs. Normal meat, so to speak, is only dangerous if eaten in too high quantities. I can see this being particularly problematic for the typical american diet, but it's been known since forever that a high meat diet considerably lowers the lifespan. You need a varied diet, with a lot of (seasonal)veggies and fruit, legumes and eat in small quantities but many times a day. If you don't you'll die sooner.
edit: oh and ofc "junk food" is a no no

And how many crimes are the result of the escalation inherent to being armed? How many crimes are exactly the result of pulling the trigger?
Sorry, but if texting and driving prevented half a dozen accidents, it will never outweigh the number it causes.

Lmao, you're really reaching on that one Jassik.
The proper comparison is:
Because some people do bad things with X (cell phones), such as Y (texting while driving) we should ban all cell phones.

Cause phones are needed to, well phone, and text, and record and browse internet and getting spied on by governments. Guns don't have any additional purpose unless you're a hunter(and as a hunter the purpose is still going to be killing).

There it is, outright credit to the governing authority, and full suspicion of the element of capitalism. What has the meat industry ever done to deserve that from you?

Uh what? Government actually has a very strong interest in diffusing the alarmism since they make money off meat. That's actually, you know, research.

You're just refusing to acknowledge that a gun doesn't have to kill anyone to still serve a purpose.

Do you not recognize any political benefit to smearing the meat industry?
