Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

Yeah, okay shill.

Shill for whom?

never press "1" for social workers. Always "2" for armed cops.

In a chunk of Europe, the Police aren't armed (and are way better trained than your, having skill levels you can only dream of there) and yes, they may bring Social Workers if someone needs detaining under the Mental Health Act.

wtf am I supposed to do work in some blue collar sh2t job son?

Yep, one where 'investors' that you've never met make more money from your job than you do.

And the bit of money from your labour that goes to you? You spend it in shops they 'invest' in and on things made in China that they market at you.

That really is what they want.

60% of the British compared to all the others.

What is that even supposed to mean?

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

Why would anyone defend their family and property

Why would anyone need to? Warsaw isn't Mogadishu.

What do you think happens in Poland that someone would need firearms to protect their family?

Marxist propaganda

There are relatively few Marxists and Marxians in Poland.

Polish nationalism

Why would anyone want to be 'nationalistic'? And how does that relate to the very strict gun control that we like in Poland.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [818]

Now that mine and that area is a tourist attraction for geology enthusiasts

There is still a semi-precious stones industry around Skarska Poręba as I recall.

Is there anything like Blue John in Poland? That one is my favourite.

Definitely, there is something harmful to brain in water or in air in UK.

Lurrv, but not for pariah states.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

Do you want to defend yourself, your family, and hard earned property or not?

Why would anyone need to do that? Have you ever had to do this in Poland?

There is massive 24/7 propaganda campaign to brainwash the masses into believing

You mean millions spent in lobbying and propaganda in your country by companies who make, sell and otherwise 'earn' your money from guns.

Have ever been robbed gunpoint?

No. Have you? Which city in Poland was it?

I don't like hotels where you can't open the windows

The same. It's only ever a few centimetres and then a sort of chain.

You can catch a cold from the air conditioning.

It's unhealthy.

Heat-related deaths are increasing in the US too, despite air conditioning

They can always fire guns at the sun.

Police need handcuffs, a helmet, a radio and a pie in their pockets. Citizens don't

Europe doesn't want lax weapons control.

Personally, I don't like it. Gives me a sore throat. I really don't mind the heat though.

The same. Makes the air dry. Better to close curtains and open windows that are in full sun and stay hydrated.

Hard to sleep with the noise too.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

Adaptations to weather

The heatwaves are a recent thing. There is no choice not to adapt to them; in fact this week we can see governments responding.

The choice to allow civilians to possess lethal weapons and the huge proliferation of gun crime that has resulted is however a matter of choice and poor governance over decades.

Lower than the number of Europeans who die in heat waves in Europe.

So what?

You aren't some inadequate teenage MAGA supporter. Stop trying to equate gun crime to weather conditions. It is unworthy of you.

Why not? Both

Weather is not a 'cultural' preference.

Nor is lax gun laws given the number of people there who favour tighter control on unnecessary firearms.

more people die in heat waves in Europe

There's a large population and this is a relatively new phenomenon caused by climate change.

Your gun problem is not new and is caused by inadequate constitutional law and governments who are afraid to solve the problem.

It is tawdry to equate the two very different things.

Let them eat heat?

Let people decide how they heat or cool their homes, providing this does not impact badly on the environment.

gun violence deaths in the US

It's a huge problem there.

And tawdrily frivolous to equate deliberate shootings with summer weather conditions.

Europeans generally do not want lax controls on firearms or widespread civilian ownership of lethal weapons.

Individuals however are free to make decisions about ventilation and heating/cooling.
