Re: Florida shooting
Each time this happens and we ask a politician we get the same answer, "It's too soon to discus the issue"
The fact is that as in this case both a senator and governor are financially backed by the NRA.
We have a shotgun in this house, it's not my choice because I don't like guns, I don't even know how to load the thing let alone shoot it. My wife is a US citizen and I respect her right to own one.
There is no reason for any citizen to own an assault rifle.

I briefly described myself as agnostic some years back, but then realised that within the context of human religion that agnosticism is a confusion.
Some of us are devout about the irrationality in others, it's true.

Re: Florida shooting
Within your agnosticism, what is the probability that a god (or some gods) might exist?

Irrationality is by definition anything that I do not agree with.

Re: Florida shooting
Praying will do sweet FA, I do not and never have believed in God and nothing short of God coming down and shaking my hand will ever convince me the thing exists. Forget the prayers, just get rid of every NRA backed politician and that includes that orange lunatic in the Whitehouse.

I don't see that believing that ARs have no place in a civilians possession and also owning other types of firearms is particularly hypocritical.

And every Politician who backed by the Medical/Insurance Complex.
And every one, well you get the idea.

Re: Florida shooting
I personally own 5 firearms. 3 in the house (2 shotguns and a pistol) , one in my truck, one in my wife's car (both pistols). We both have CCPs, she doesn't carry every day, I do. If I'm not a work, I have a pistol on me somewhere. She didn't own any prior to me although she had one of my father-in-laws revolvers on loan.

I have a CCP but no pistol!

Definition of irrationality is "inadequate use of reason," it's not a personal judgement call.

Re: Florida shooting
No of course, we can't put a number on it. But some people are 50:50 agnostics, some are 90:10 or some 99.999999:c.0. I'd put myself somewhere deep into the latter category (for a deity). As for the the Christian mythology and the like) definitely a big fat zero.

Mathematically I would not put one mythology above or below another. They all have a similar premise.
Actually I see many posts that seem to fall into the inadequate use of reason but those who made them may say it is my personal judgement. This thread has many.

Re: Florida shooting
The Armed Forces did after action reports and determined the main factor was not armour, gun effectiveness etc, but who fired first.
