I watched some of it and it was awesome, but I don't think it should be an event until they have more formalized rules. It seemed like the judges just based it off vibes.
Keep doing your thing. People are so stupid on the internet and will read one thing and immediately post misinformation saying another thing. I wouldn't say "Russian diversion campaign" since Jill Stein is running in good faith and you don't want people to think her whole campaign is one.
Who says I would never accept them? Your assumptions are poor. We have a lot of gun laws that the public and legislature have passed that seem to have missed the point because we copy a lot of what California does instead of focusing on effective means of stopping violence.
So you would want a near ban on all guns? Just curious what you mean by gun control everywhere.
One thing that I'm sure will come out of this story is the gun is stolen. Washington has safe storage laws, but if you report your gun stolen, you are not liable for any crimes committed with it. It happened when a man shot a mother and child in Seattle and the original owner was okay because he reported it stolen. The government should be prosecuting these negligent gun owners.
Most people have a hard time envisioning large numbers so half a larger number has more gravity than x of a smaller number.
