The AK-47 is a select fire fully automatic rifle. It has been illegal to import or manufacture fully automatic rifles for civilian use for decades.
The flipside of this are things like the banana regulation, more commonly known as Commission Regulation (EC) No 2257/94.[1] I believe it's now rescinded under ridicule but there are people who try to deny it even existed. It's well worth reading in full on eur-lex for riveting prose like "the measurement, in millimetres, of the thickness of a transverse section of the fruit between the lateral faces and the middle, perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis".[2]

Regulations over the official ingredients of jam, battles over who has the right to make certain types of sausages, the list goes on. It's harder for legal systems other than the common law because of the way they work but I'm of the opinion that we should at least trial putting a word count limit on the total body of law and regulation.

A more depressing tale of regulatory woe, given the rocketing suicides and unemployment in Greece, is that of the bookstore/café that can't sell coffee and frequently can't sell books.[3]

Most gun stats blithely show aggregate rates of gun ownership and gun-related homicides, and the public reacts in fear; who wants to live in a country like that?

But criminal-on-criminal violence is a disproportionate share. Are we supposed to think that the presence of guns is what drives the violence, or is it possibly that you've got millions of young men with no jobs and nothing constructive to do, with parents who don't care to bring them up right (or who can't control them), running drugs and fighting turf wars, cooking up ways to make bank? There's an argument that for some people, access to guns creates an opportunity; but there's a lot more at work here than that.

There's a social rot underneath it all -- and I'd venture that gun violence in the US is a symptom of the rot rather than guns being a cause. It seems remarkably dangerous to me to demonize the mechanism by which someone murders another person in the name of progress; politicians feel like they're accomplishing something, even though we still have a bunch of people willing to kill someone, if only they had the means.

There's significant collective cognitive dissonance in American society on this topic, I think.
In my case, this isn't it. As others have responded, you take many pictures in order to get a good one. I'm messing with shutter speeds and aperture, I'm shooting on continuous advance, and as I mentioned elsewhere, I took a lot of photos last year due to travel.

Finally, I'm keeping maybe 20% of what I take. The other 80% are being deleted.

Firstly, I don't think anyone is advocating for their freedom to 'gun people down.'

More importantly, I don't think your interest in particular freedoms should arbitrate which ones others receive. I can understand that you don't wish to exercise your 2nd amendment rights. No one is force-handing you a gun.

Freedoms are about choices for people. "I don't want this freedom, so no one should have it," is misguided. Plenty of others are minimally interested in freedoms you enjoy. Support freedom.

If you try to talk about violence, people are going to ask whether it is higher or lower than before. The fact that it is lower eliminates fear and sensationalism and the conversation dries up to little more than local police budget issues.

But if you talk about gun violence, people will generally have an opinion regardless of the facts, and won't tend to ask questions. That's why everyone has a strong opinion but few know that it's actually a declining problem.

I would not recommend Kaiser. I herniated a disc in my back, fairly severely, 6 weeks ago. I've seen 5 doctors & a physical therapist so far & have yet to get the treatment several have said I need. For the past 6 weeks I've been able to stand for 5-10 minutes, top and can't sit at all.

Whereas an insurance facility has incentive to try not to pay, because Kaiser is integrated, they incentive not to provide the service at all.

Each time you get a referral to a different department the sequence is 2-3 days to schedule the appointment. The first appointment has to be a consult, the next available being in 1-2 weeks. Then the treatment they want to try (if any), being 2-4 weeks out.
That's only the suicide rate by those who use a gun. Compare actual overall suicide rates and the US is pretty average and very close to the rate in the UK, Canada, France, etc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_r...
To be clear, that is homicides by handgun. Total number of deaths, including accidental and suicide, is much higher.
That has mostly been shown to only have mild statistical relevancy, not nearly enough to be the majority of the explanation.
100 million modern, collectible guns seems unlikely.

(I agree that there are lots of people that like to collect guns, I just don't think they could possibly be driving (that much) manufacturing, making a lot of something makes it less collectible.)

>>How is gun control going to help our suicide rate

What if I think people have a right to kill themselves?
And kids are getting killed accidentally via a number of other methods that don't garner the anti-gun media's attention:

Selected Causes of Death, Ages 0-19, per 100,000 Population (2007)
Cause	Number of Deaths	Mortality Rate
Unintentional Injury	11,560	14.0
Motor Vehicle	6,683	8.1
Drowning	1,056	1.3
Fire/Burn	544	0.7
Poisoning	972	1.2
Suffocation/Strangulation 1,263	1.5
Firearm	138	0.2
Homicide	3,345	4.1
Firearm	2,186	2.7
Suicide	1,665	2.0
Firearm	683	0.8
Suffocation/Strangulation	739	0.9
Poisoning	133	0.2

Now this is 6 year old data. But accidental death by firearm isn't the danger that it would appear, compared to other threats.

The conclusions motherjones got from that study were absolutely ridiculous.

The big graph they display is meaningless.

Here is a quote from the article.

"...gun suicides, where the majority of victims don't have a documented serious mental illness."

In many states background checks don't require a waiting period. So a background check wouldn't have stopped them from buying a gun.

Their entire premise is based on suicide being quick and impulsive. Yet their only data is on background checks for private sales.

Are you telling me that someone who wants quick access to a gun is going to wait until Saturday rolls around, drive to a gunshow and buy a gun?

On the graph is looks like top 50 is where it started moving from "under 10" downloads to hitting the "exponential" part of the curve. But yes, I imagine that top 25 would show a similar jump, and top 10 even more so, as the top 10 in category list is what shows on the "Top Paid" list on iTunes.

but hunting is far from rare in Canada

5% of Canadians hunt. That qualifies as pretty rare to me. I don't know what the percentage is in the US, but just gut feeling is that there's a wide gap between gun ownership and hunting.
Weather Forecasting with Google Glass
The most sensible European regulations of those listed in the article kindly submitted here are

"What Europe did: Banned all forms of animal protein, including chicken litter, in cow feed in 2001."

and

"What Europe did: In the EU, all antibiotics used in human medicines are banned on farms—and no antibiotics can be used on farms for 'non-medical purposes,' i.e., growth promotion."

I'd like to see the United States follow that lead immediately, and I write this as a man who has several uncles and cousins who are farmers, including some who raise cattle. It makes sense to me to have lines of defense against transmission of animal-infecting, and especially antibiotic-resistant-animal-infecting, microbes to human beings, by controlling what animals raised as lifestock eat and how they are treated with veterinary medicines.

For the other regulatory practices mentioned in the article, especially washing chicken carcasses, I'd like to see more detailed evidence of the safety trade-offs involved in the practices of the United States and of Europe. I'm less sure on some of the other issues that science actually supports the European practice.
Some have suggested that the decline in crime in the 90's was due to abortion - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legalized_abortion_and_crime_ef...

The white murder rate in America is about the same as it is in Europe/Canada, etc. The black murder rate is about the same as it is in parts of Africa. (Something like 10x the white rate.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentiona...

Take a look here for the murder rate in different American states:

I too would find it naïve at best to think that the EU was perfect; everyone knows that it isn't.

I don't understand your complaint about civil law, though; why is common law better than civil law? Civil law has the added benefit of being fairly simple and court rulings not making precedence.
its a great game with its own economy issues. since the open beta started its gone downhill.
My theory is that the advent of a popular internet itself deters people from violence. No science to back it up, of course. But people spend more time watching TV and using the internet; it leaves less time to be outside getting physically rowdy with others and creating these heated moments.
Fair point. As mentioned elsewhere, the gun delta is ~3x the population delta.

I fully agree with this. 'Before', the dev team used a mix of, well, I'd rather not say. It was just not very pretty and eventually everyone got their work done. A while back I built a vagrant+puppet configuration for everyone and the team has since transitioned to using that.

It's nice to have at least semi-parity with the production environment. This is possible because we can utilize most (not all, due to no central Puppet server) of the same Puppet modules which we use (or I built), in the VM.

Essentially what you gain is not worrying about if a developer will break their machine/VM and go 'Whoops, can you fixor it?'. Additionally, you no longer have to worry about such things as php/node/ruby version issues with the dev/production side of things. We've gone from having sometimes issues with certain code not running the same as in development, to just throwing it up on the staging environment through deployment tools and it just runs!
Popular with gangs for the same reason. They're also pretty intimidating. Citation? Go to a search engine and type something like "AK47 chicago gang" or search the news websites for any large city with a high murder rate for 'ak47'

Don't do this. You know I meant 'AK pattern weapon', we'll use the WASR you can get at any sporting goods store for an example. You can get/modify all the parts to convert over a civilian AK to full auto without problems, unless the ATF finds out.

Devils' advocacy for the sake of devils' advocacy seems a bit onanistic, or worse when it comes to seeing sinister plans in the eyes of victims. I find it interesting to ~do~ it in my own head, plenty of "what if?"s, but targeting victims of various crimes with "what if they deserved their abuse?" sans-evidence doesn't come off as very healthy. It goes in a darker direction than most brainstorming, IMO.

To be clear, I did not downvote and indeed could not because you cannot downvote direct replies.

My guess as to the reason for the downvote is that once he veered into making personal comments on my state of mind, he was engaged in ad hominem. No matter how good or bad his points, that behavior is discouraged.

On whether I am too emotionally invested, if my points had been imbued with excessive emotion, that would have been one thing. But they were not. My big point was, "This potentially addresses a real problem in trying to reach abused children, and we should collect data on whether it actually works." I believe that to be a fairly neutral point.

Once we have data, we can revisit this with information of the form, "We had 5 complaints and 2 children called our hotline because of a sign that was seen fairly regularly by an estimated 1000 children." At that point we can try to find a balance between people who had a mildly unpleasant conversation with their children, and children who no longer have absolutely horrible things happening to them.

But until we have that data, we can't productively have those conversations. Clearly abuse is orders of magnitude worse than being confronted with an unpleasant and possibly confusing sign. Clearly more normal children are going to be confronting that sign than are going to see abuse stopped. How do these opposing interest balance? Nobody can tell because we don't know what portion of people who see the sign are disturbed by it, and we don't know how many abused children will actually respond to it.

So we should run the experiment and collect data.
Creator of SimCity, Will Wright, live Q&A
I'm not comfortable with the parent posters assumptions.

I live in Wisconsin and last I heard 15% of residents hunt regularly. I'd estimate for every 5 people I know who have guns for hunting, one has a handgun. I don't personally know anyone who has a handgun and does not have guns for hunting.
Yes, per baseball bat.

If you are looking at banning something because it causes deaths. You want to look at how many deaths are caused per item.

Reducing the number of items by X will result in Y fewer deaths.

Baseball bats kill more people per baseball bat than do "assault weapons".

What other reason could you have for banning something other than reducing harm. Looking strictly at the numbers banning baseball bats would prevent more killings than banning "assault weapons".
