Whenever I think of the Dylan Roof incident.

The death penalty isn’t a punishment, who really learns from it, the criminal? It’s a tool for society to remove what amounts to a defective person (not human, person). People are supposed to value the lives of other people by default. Any sustained deviation from this norm is a symptom of a person who cannot value life.

Dylan Roof was given 1000s of opportunities to demonstrate that he did actually value life but because of his defective nature there was no choose but to remove him.

“Life in prison” can be canceled/pardoned/changed, death cannot. That is why it’s near impossible to make it happen and even if it does, people spend the rest of their lives waiting for their “execution” (ftr Dylan is still alive at this time source).

Now in what possible world would you be able to convince a jury of random peers, or judges with their heads actually screwed on tight, that a sample size of one murder proves that a person is defective.

Genuine responses only:

Yes… Gun laws in the US are bullshit.

He’s tryna be a macho man who lives life on the edge and drives a Hummer. Give their kind a down vote and scroll on friend :)

Yeah this is that kind of rules-lawyering grey area that everybody’s too busy to deal with. It’s the same issue with the assault rifles and large mags… they’re very clearly weapons of war but they look like guns and all* guns can be used for hunting.

Afaik it’s because there’s absolutely no other applications for brass knuckles to work. You can only assault people with brass knuckles.

Fire-arms can be used for “defence” and “hunting”.

Edit: inb4 I don’t agree with laws around brass knuckles, or most laws about most weapons.

TBH I’d rather them leave Twitter just so Twitter doesn’t make money
