>While most conventions have a practice of allowing prop weaponry onto their show floors, some are moving to a much more stringent policy, allowing little or no weapons into their halls. Even items that in no way resemble functioning weapons are coming under fire, upsetting a large amount of the cosplay community which relies on these props to carry their garb through to more authentic levels.

>>54678923
Because a heavily armed crazy man walked into the Phoenix Comic-Con and no one blinked at first because he didn't look out of place.
>>
>>54678923
Can't you slap some orange tape or something on the props, to show they're safe? Ruins the look, but better than losing the props.

Or get a more stringent security. Costly and a hassel, but if real weapons are a serious threat, take action against them specifically - don't throw the baby out with the bathwater and ruin the reason people come to the hobby by messing with the costumes.
>>
>>54679060
What's stopping someone from putting orange tape on a real gun?

And the problem is most smaller cons are running on a pretty tight budget so they can't afford to search everyone.
>>
>>54679090
So if they aren't gonna search me, why wouldn't I just hide my real guns that I want to use to shoot people? Sure, I can't take in an assault rifle, but a giant foam bolter that's clearly not a weapon is gonna get taken away and my pistols aren't.
>>
>>54679060
Weapons are not a serious threat statistically speaking, but it's not hard to imagine someone out of the millions of people might get some crazy idea to try something at one of the larger gatherings. And then of course everyone would get supper butthurt and cry about it for ages.

>>54679090
Security is more a token measure than anything, if someone actually wants to get something into one of these places, even with "good" security, it's not hard to outwit the glorified mall cops who typically are hired to fill out security positions that can't be filled with someone marginally more competent(worked as a security guard myself, we barely get any training for that sort of thing and most of the guys on the job aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer) . Smaller cons also have less to worry about in general since they are less visible and thus less likely to attract the sorts of people who would potentially be the ones trying something.

>Conventions not running weapons check.

Most of the larger cons in the Great White North run a props/weapons check. They look it over and tag it if its a pass. If its not, too bad so sad, but you can't enter the con.

Mental healthcare doesn't really exist.

This is kind of a wank.

Obviously the majority of gun crimes are black on black or other regular street crimes, but essentially all mass shooters have obeyed every law up until the very moment they start shooting.

Sure, restricting access to fire arms isn't gonna stop niggers from shooting niggers because they're getting guns illegally to begin with but it is gonna stop mass shooters. Look at Australia. You're not gonna stop everyone dying, but you are gonna stop at least some. A handful of human lives are at least worth that much right?

If we want to play the utilitarian game of greater or lesser suffering overall, there's is statistical proof that more people are killed or wounded accidentally by their own firearms than ever have to use them to defend themselves.

Oh, yeah why didn't anyone think of that. Let's just put a law in place that says "don't sell guns to bad people" that will clearly solve everything.

I mean, of course no one has to think of the competing notions of liberty and the role of the state which are contested within the population and ought not to be decided based on nothing but your opinion on statistical anomalies, nor the actual logistics of enforcing such a ban, or about how it would be largely ineffectual due to the self correcting nature of markets both illicit and otherwise and the current availability of guns, or the fact that to be effective in preventing these rare outlier cases the system would have to be nearly entirely pervasive and involve massive cost both social and economic as the only real way to create something which would effectively do anything about said outlier cases would involve massive governmental surveillance or other compromises about what we generally stand for as a society.

But sure anon, let's just say "restrict sales!" because that way you can feel like you have a valid opinion which is applicable to the real world and not you just talking out of your ass based on gut emotional responses.

There are scales of "really wants it".

In the U.S. there are more arms and munitions in circulation than if you took all arms and munitions from literally every military in the world. They will never be taken because attempting to do so would even just at the start create the bloodiest civil war ever with the most guns involved in any war let alone civil war ever. There is no good answer to the gun problem as a whole. Trying to restrict them statistically only increases their sales and it never goes through anyway. Even school shootings and such increase gun sales just incase they would try to take them. The only way to be rid of them here in the states is to salt earth and that will destroy us and the country certainly.

Have someone who knows weapons inspect them and then give a badge they have to carry. Fixed.

>>54680123
"Mass shootings" are statistical anomalies, so rare their absence (or presence) can hardly be used to form an argument about if regulation is effective or not. Honestly what is more likely to prevent shootings is better mental health care, less cutthroat neo-liberal economic policies, a living wage and various other ways of improving the health and wealth of the citizenry and caring for the otherwise neglected. Focusing on the weapons and not the people behind them is only a stopgap measure, it doesn't stop the main problem.

Also just FYI Ausfalia has had several """mass""" (actually tiny but fit the definition) shootings recently, and if you adjust for population sizes they actually have had almost as many as the US in the same time period. Though I should state again there's vastly different difficulties in enforcing a gun ban in different countries. Like on a unified island, versus a country with massive proliferation of guns already which is bordered by a country who's states are often practically at war with the government with smuggling routes through other countries with wide scale weapons proliferation.

I would argue humanity is inherently violent, shortsighted, and retarded, this extends to the government, because the majority of the government is compromised of humans. While it is foolish to give every human the capacity to instantly slaughter one another, it is many times more foolish to give a small group of humans a total monopoly on violence, as history has shown this inevitably leads to tyranny and subsequent misery. Therefore, it is the lesser of two evils to allow the vast majority of humans to own military-grade assault weapons, because if everyone has the capacity to slaughter one another, no one group is able to take control and instill tyranny.

IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT HARD, SINCE LITERALL, AND I MEAN LITERALLY, EVERY OTHER CIVILZED COUNTRY ON EARTH MANAGES TO DO THAT.

The only reason you stupid fucking americucks have any problem at all with that idea because the foundingcucks thought it should be a RIGHT to own a gun. A RIGHT. Oh yes, I can absolutely see how a society based on the principles of shared responsibility, justice and rights of the individal over the government and vice versa absolutely stands or falls around the fucking right to own and carry a tool which very and only purpose is to kill.

Ah yes, absolutely ingenius, making it an unrevokable right to own a tool that can ONLY be used for violence and murder will surely make a society BASED on the very principles of peaceful conflic resolution and communal decision making more stable, it's not a problem if lunatics and perpetrators of the social contract will all have easy access to the ultimate tool of murder, because everyone else will have them too! If he kills me i'll just kill him back! Uh wait, something here doesn't seem right...

Oh who cares, AMERICA!

Literally every other society takes some kind intensive measure to insure that only people that really really need guns or who can be really really trusted with them actually get them, which has the added benefit of decreasing the amount of guns in legal circulation that will be easily stolen to support the black market. Gun rights believers allways seem to think that black market weaponry will just materialize out of thin air, when in reality the availablity of illegal firearms is directly proportional to how many legal ones there are and how strong you fight the flux from one to the other.

You live in a self propelling system. The problem is circular, so your only choice is to fight the problem on all points at once and choke it out. The perception that owning murder tools is a right is the fuel you keep on pouring into the wildfire to make it as large as it is.

Yeah, no most gunshot wounds aren't fatal and most people without significant training suck at hitting anything. 70% of gunshot wounds are survivable, that's roughly double the amount for acute blunt trauma, and about the same as stabbings. The majority of so called mass shootings, have been under 6 people. Dollars to donuts anyone in average shape could do the same or better with a machete(if you want proof look at Africa), a mallet, or an appropriate melee weapon.

It's best to teach your kids about guns. Do hide them guns and ammo, in separate but accessible places inside your room. When I was 8 and my dad showed me a revolver I wasn't dumb enough to miss the "this will kill me if I fuck up" point.
He also hid it way better than his porn, which I believe he left easily accessible so I would have something more interesting to sneak in and look at.

And you'd probably be mostly right, however for the most part gun owners don't pretend to be doing it out of care for others but instead are acting in line with their ego's true desires. Most gun owners readily admit the main reason they own them is because they enjoy them and the hobbies gun ownership allows them to take part in.

Then again, if I were into shooting guns as a sport and if I met all the requirements, I'd probably still go to jail for shooting a home invader unless he specifically cornered me in the exact place I keep my firearms.

I will admit that there are some actual legitimate reasons to own guns, but the actual one written in the constitution is so that the people can form a militia red-dawn style, and the USA is almost certainly the single least likely country in the entire world to require civilians defend it in a traditional land invasion. African, east asian, middle eastern, hell, european nations even under the EU all are much more likely to be on the wrong end of a land invasion, therefore having better claims to owning guns than the US, and those of us that do have them banned are pretty much fine.

>shooting home invaders
Step 1: Don't live in a shit country. Your culture of violence is also the reason your home invaders are violent. Armed violence in a home robbery is exceptionally rare compared to america, you are simply not going to need it

Step 2: Realize that nothing gives you the right to potentially murder somebody for commiting a crime. That belive is another big tank of gas pouring into the wildfire. What you are commiting is manslaugther wether you are "defending" your home or not. All you do by having enaugh legal guns that theoretically everyone can "defend" their home is increase the supply of illegal guns and the pressure to own them for people trying to rob you. All this does is escalate the stakes and increase the risk of them shooting you first

You are creating the problem by creating this aura of justified violence in trying the fight the problem before it comes up. This aura of violence just contributes to the potential invaders feeling more justified to comit crime and violence back. If you normalize violence and weaponry like that for "upstanding citizens", it is just going to increase the determination in those that feel disenfranchized by society and fell they have the right to take back what the perceive society took from them.

>Self defence is just like attacking people, those poor victims of society are feeling threatened when they come to commit crimes against you!
>Waaaah, VICTIMS ARE TO BLAME!
It's essentially fucking illegal to defend myself here but a robber will quarter and rape you if he feels like it. I fucking hate people like you. I honestly hope you find yourself in q situation where you are at a criminal's mercy so you can understand.

Insurances won't be worth shit after they cause permanent emotional damage on your daughter by raping her. Insurances won't cover reattaching lost limbs and head. Insurances don't revive you. They also don't cover the loss of loved ones, though you might get some pennies from that.
They also don't cover the damage of accepting that others can infringe upon your rights and you have no right to property or life because some faggot decided a criminal is worth more than you.

In Brazil, where it's basically hell to try and own guns, the government protects criminals by being incompetent, the police functions like basically every other police force (that is, they don't fucking teleport), and you can get sued even when someone -tries to fucking kill you-, which happened to my father (who didn't even defend himself since he was taken by surprise. The criminal got off with a fine).

To all "liberal" faggots in this thread,I legitimately hope you die at the hands of a violent criminal.

Congratulations, you can turn in your guns at the nearest police station and never touch one ever again, because you've been deemed mentally unstable.

On the opposite end of the stick here, in Ireland, if a robber breaks into your house by smashing a window, but cuts himself on the broken glass on the way in, he can sue you for your unsafe house hurting him.
Oh and what do you know we've never had gun problems. Bomb problems sure, but never guns.
"Independent.ie can reveal that in the last decade there were 201 gun murders or manslaughters in the Republic of Ireland between 2005 and 2015 (statistics below)."
http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/crime/republic-of-ireland-is-deadliest-place-to-live-in-irish-and-british-isles-new-figures-34614775.html
(independent is a fairly decent news source FYI)

>200 gun murders in 10 years for a population of 4 million
0.5 murders per year per million people

To compare that to US
"All shootings: Some 13,286 people were killed in the US by firearms in 2015, "
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-34996604
(To be fair, BBC is pretty shit news)
>13200 in one year, country of population 323 million
40 gun deaths per year per million people

Huh, it turns out that when everyone has guns, much more people die by guns. Also

And you don't even have a gigantic cultural divide that's been causing a neverending civil war since 1921, with two domestic terrorist organisations still present in the country.

Why the hell would you mention this, except to show how pathetic europe is, that you can get sued for someone hurting themselves while trying to steal your stuff? We don't even allow that here in america, the land of the law suit

Remind me, what fault did I have when my father suffered said murder attempt, back when I was a prepubescent child and had to see my dad bloodied up being dragged into a safer place?
Right. I seriously, seriously hope you die, maybe if there is an afterlife you'll go there and finally understand.

Gee, if only there was some certian major difference between ireland and the USA that would explain that phenomenon.
Perhaps a class of undereducated, ostracized and isolated group that had been oppressed for generations, has developed a culture gloryfying crime, a tendency towards broken homes resulting in a greater tendency towards gang membership and a rejection of education and self improvement as "not really part of our group" and also tends to be the number one source of American violent crimes. Nope, no such group exists, so certainly it's just the guns that are the problem

Japan lies about their crime a lot. I'm sure it is low, but they literally don't count a death as a murder until they've closed the case on the perp.
Shot in the back of the head from 10 feet? Not a murder until we find who did it and went through an entire trial.

I think you mean to say 99% without a CIB or CMB or similar. Anyone with any significant time in combined arms should know the comparative quality of military personnel, and that America, the UK, and Canada are far and away better than anyone else, especially fucking Russia, with America topping the list.

An active member of the Republican party (relatively liberal at the time).

No affiliation with neither the Republicans or the Democrats, but vocally socialist.

A quick review confirms what Snopes stated: Huberty as a survivalist who was paranoid about government overreach. I have also not been able to find any actual record of his political affiliations. I'd spend more time on it, but this thread is/was on page 10.
