Of course..
..you must receive approval from the Commissioner of Police to carry a firearm, which involves a formal application process including a Criminal Record Form, passport photos, and a medical certificate, with checks that can take one to six weeks. Before a firearm can be brought into the country, the Commissioner’s approval is mandatory. The gun laws are governed by a Firearms Act, which requires authorisation for firearm possession and control, with potential penalties including fines and lengthy prison sentences for violations.
I do not come from a family of criminals, and most Caribbeans are outstanding citizens in the community and do not do each other harm, unless they’re degenerate little shits that wanna rob or kill people for monetary and/or material gain.
You should really study the history of Buddhist Asian nations and warfare then.

I have only had contact with Theravada Buddhism and my conclusion is there is very little difference between non Buddhist and Buddhist as there is little difference between Christian and non Christian.
My cynicism is showing.
We are all human and made of the same stuff call us what you will.

I follow the tradition of Mahayana not Theravada. Some differences there. 
What do you think? Suprise, not true, for Buddha don’t think that way. Did you not get the part where, thinking the strike thing struck me funny about the funny bunny?
Anyway thinking implicitly, even now, knowing the limits of the absolute, (Sbsolute) it’s never over, and so?
Betting still, something amiss as a foregone conclusion,?:

Dalai Lama in Tibet and Nepal is Vajrayana Buddhism.
Theravada Buddhism is largely embraced in India and south Asia.
Mahayana Buddhism, the school of thought I embrace is China, Japan, and most of east Asia.
19 hrs into the manhunt. Critical mistake: shooter left a forearm print on the rifle. He didn’t think about that after he did the final wipedown and put his gloves on. This may give the ruling-class State samples of his skin cells.
I can not stress enough the importance of destroying any biological material you may have left at the scene. For this, I advise all shooters to carry a small tactical spray bottle of clorox with them at all times. Amazon has cool ones with utility belt clips. You want a dull opaque colored one that won’t glint in sunlight.
When the shooter arrives to his selected post, he will spray a five foot radius of clorox around him. After the shot is taken, he will spray the weapon and the area once more before leaving.
It should go without saying that no skin should come in contact with the surfaces of the weapon so the shooter should be in a long sleeve shirt.
And don’t have a nationalist communist as a partner because he’ll be all like “only the organized working classes can affect political change!” and then you’ll be like “oh yeah? Watch this political change. I’m ‘bout to politically change that dude from that stage to a body bag” and then he’ll be like “i know, i know… then you’ll start throwing your homemade baseball grenades and shouting Italian slogans. Yeah we all know how that turns out. You sure you don’t wanna just go back to the house and play the new Grand Theft Auto? I told you I just got it yesterday.”

Everybody in this nation seems to be ready on a dime to violently slaughter each other over politics in a huge giant free for all civil war, you’re just giving the elites what they want, an excuse to lock this nation down militarily. They want martial law to happen.
Everybody knows the economy is shit where it is collapsing and the dollar is close to worthlessness, I would rather wait for this economy to collapse completely where we can actually have a unified revolution against the elite capitalists of this nation where people work together everywhere. Still, the absolute dumb motherfuckers of this nation in their bloodlust would rather just start shooting at each other over political rivalries.

We should pay more attention to how dangerous cars are, but I don’t think the comparison is so simple. People encounter cars much more frequently than they encounter guns, many use their car every day, so risk per exposure differs by orders of magnitude.
More importantly, the value people get from cars and guns is different. Individually and socially, cars deliver significant value by letting people travel long distances quickly and easily. While I won’t say guns add zero value, the value they add is at best more speculative.
In most of the developed world, this is a fantasy.
An underappreciated problem with US gun laws is that gun policy is too uniform. Guns are more dangerous and less valuable in densely populated areas, where there is more chance of collateral damage and law enforcement is usually closer and can respond more quickly. In rural areas, there are fewer people around who might catch a stray, and people have a greater need to defend themselves. Having a single gun policy such different contexts is dumb.

Are you calling us anarchists unruly vagabonds of the spirit with no political vision or hope for man, Mr. A?
If so, i am certainly flattered, and i thank you for such kind words.

I remember when I went to very rural northern Washington state to see a friend on their reservation deep in grizzly bear territory she was telling me about how her drunk next door neighbor tried setting her house on fire and was firing off rounds in her plot of land that was 20 acres. The nearest police station was forty miles away with just a single sheriff and deputy.
Now in places like urban Chicago the criminals sometimes outgun the local police having better weapons than they do. I live right on the Mexican border myself, I can assure you the cartels have better weapons than the local police and border agents have.
No, I wouldn’t go that far, I would maybe call anarchists reckless, short sighted, and unorganized.
Somewhere like that, it makes sense to have a gun. People who want to ban all handguns tend to live in places where an armed police officer is never further than a mile away, but handguns probably make sense on the frontier.
This generally isn’t true, urban police are quite well funded and armed. The problem in Chicago isn’t how well armed people are, it’s how many independent actors there are. Lots of small and modestly equipped gangs are harder to quash than fewer and better armed gangs.
I’m not sure how this weighs for personal gun ownership. Owning a gun is not going to deter the Cartel either; if they want you dead or want your stuff, you’re not going to stop them with a 9mm.
On the other hand, everybody owning a 9mm would deter certain types of crime, by making them economically impractical. This is basically the opposite of Chicago: instead of lots of independent armed criminals causing problems for police, you’d have lots of independent armed citizens causing problems for organized crime.
In any case, it’s absolutely a special case and should have a gun policy appropriate to the context.
