They ran the country before we got there, too.

Turns out Afghans just have a terrible culture.

America wasn’t trying to stop opium production, we were using druglords to beat warlords. The brother of the leader we installed was the kingpin.

Who would have thought.

It is not only rare but a red flag if you can drink like a 21 year old in your 30s and 40s. If you can drink like that in your 50s you probably have ascites.

Some American Jews. Mostly the women.

But what about prohibition era gangsters smuggling guns cigarettes and liquor? How will we fight that scourge?

William Montgomery says we ain’t ever gonna stop.

Using sources to justify bias isn’t the same thing as referencing the source of your bias.

Is it?

Wikipedia isn’t without bias, either.

Sure but OP said 200 years ago.

Unless they can make it also kill an animal, I ain’t interested. The suffering is necessary for the flavor.

Because when talking about the economics of specialty outdoor products in the US market you have to recognize that manufacturing for most US consumer products is in China. Settle down

Ah. My point was not to say that mass shootings are strictly because of advancements in firearm technology. Anyone who thinks it’s not multifactorial is a moron. But anyone who thinks the underlying technology isn’t fundamentally required for the phenomenon to occur is also a moron.

I was only responding to the fact that OP said 200 years, and just from a practical perspective 200 years ago you just couldn’t do a mass shooting. If you ask me why we didn’t have mass shootings in the 50s through 70s that’s a different question that actually gets to the point of the matter. 200 years is such a long timeframe as to be silly. Might as well ask why people didn’t send bulk emails in the 20s.

Not sure the point you’re making…

ellipses are vague…
