Orlando Buffalo Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 4 hours ago, ChiGoose said: “Violence is caused by Dems, that’s why the deadliest counties in America are not in states controlled by Dems” Buddy, it’s just an absolutely terrible argument. Violence is a local problem, not a national problem, or even a state problem. There are more murders in some week in Downtown Orlando then have occurred in my area in the past 20 years combined, and that is only 20 minutes away. If I live in Williamsville vs West Buffalo the crime rates are not similar, but all the high crime areas are run by Dems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

State and national laws and policies influence local outcomes. If violence is the fault of Dems, why are the most dangerous places in the country NOT in states run by the Dems? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can't even agree on a simply concept that violence is very prevalent in some areas of the US and basically non existent in others. If we can't agree on that we can't agree 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll see plenty of violence and surely be a victim of it as well. Six people murdered last weekend alone. Another teen killed in a stolen Kia roll-over. What a mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 You'll Never Guess What Victorinox Is Removing from Its Iconic Swiss Army Knife STEPHEN GREEN It's a steak and salad without the steak. It's Wham! without George Michael*. It's Presidentish Joe Biden without his teleprompter. Hell, it might even be Biden with his teleprompter. It's a Swiss Army knife... without that bothersome knife part. Swiss firm Victorinox has made a huge assortment of its iconic pocket knives for more than a century, going all the way back to 1897. Depending on the size, you might find everything from a can opener to a saw to a magnifying glass and even surprisingly sharp little scissors. The one thing — two things, actually — you could count on finding in the bigger models were a longer blade of almost three inches and a shorter blade an inch or so long. Until now. In Britain. That's where Victorinox will soon introduce "the first range of bladeless products designed specifically for activities where a blade would not be required," according to the Guardian. The reason, if you hadn't already guessed, is to combat ("Word choice!") "what an English judge last week called the 'plague of knife crime.'" Have they not considered what someone could do with the hole punch found on many of the larger models? “In some markets," Carl Elsener, the fourth-generation CEO of Victorinox explained, "the blade creates an image of a weapon. I have in mind creating a tool that would be useful for cyclists. Cyclists have a need for specific tools but not necessarily a blade,” he said. “We already have a tool specifically for golfers.” If you've never owned a Swiss Army knife, you should know that the blades don't lock, so you wouldn't want to try to stab someone with one. Most likely, the blade would fold in, slicing the would-be stabber's fingers right open. But facts hardly matter in the increasingly kindergarten-like, multicultural, and once-great country known as Great Britain. https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2024/05/08/youll-never-guess-what-victorinox-is-removing-from-its-iconic-swiss-army-knife-n4928847 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's some additional data showing that there are effective gun laws that reduce gun violence and deaths. Galaxy brained geniuses: Nuh uh. Number go big in one spot.

Do you believe that south Chicago is safer than suburban Orlando for gun safety? We have far more guns here per person than there and more legal access but are much safer.

It’s a bit on the nose for you to accuse me of cherry picking data while literally picking two specific locations to make a dumb point instead of looking at the data. More guns = more gun deaths. The data proves it. It’s only a partisan thing because you want it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You keep asking, I keep answering, but you don't like the truth, State laws do not matter to criminals, what matters is how citizens react to bad things happening in their neighborhoods. I find it hilarious that you are holding onto one fact as your defense now and can't give me one example of a liberal area surrounded by conservatives where the Dem area is safer, not one.

You answer but your answer makes no sense and isn’t backed by reality or data. I find it hilarious that you accuse *me* of cherry picking when that’s all you’ve got. It’s literally what you’re doing right now. We know state laws do have impacts on crime, studies show this. You ignore it because it doesn’t fit the answer you want to be true. If Dems caused violence, NYC would be the most violent place in the country. The most dangerous places would be ones controlled entirely by the Dems. But they aren’t, so you’re just flat wrong. 1 minute ago, aristocrat said: Since you brought up data. Who’s doing the shooting?
