A Kind of Thoughts and Prayers
(lemmy.world)
Now this is what I call educational.
You would only get through a few of them before sweeping gun reform laws were past
sweeping gun reform laws
Except it was a printed gun. Might need sweeping printer reform laws too.
That’s a chance we’ll have to take.
Prohibition has worked really well in the US before.
It would take a lot longer than two months for people run out of not-yet-confiscated firearms or ammo, though (decades, probably), so effectively it doesn’t matter that much if they suddenly ban them, and I’d be thrilled with that outcome.
I mean what difference does it make if you murder someone or murder them with a banned weapon? The result of getting caught is being totally fucked either way.
BOARDROOMS, not classrooms
Thats on track for climate goals. Maybe the Earth can be saved
I mean, it’s worth a try, right?
Pretty much the only way the earth can be saved
That is a fun fact. Subscribed.
On paper sure. But you never know how long it would take with inheritance.
The only way to know for sure is through experimentation.
Their kids would be…incentivized to give it away.
I know the correct response is to shoot less children, but I can't help but see the value in lowering CEO survival rates.
I don't think this is accounting for inheritance.
There's always inheritance tax, and splitting the fortune with siblings. Eventually someone down the line would only be getting $999 million.
Poor bastards
Sure, but that still would affect the time, which I'm guessing wasn't accounted for.
There are over 1,000 billionaires and about 2,500 school age children die by shooting each year. So more like 5 months.
How is this calculated, rate or absolute number
Hmm, seems doable
Best two months of our lives
Not a meme
"fun" fact.
