Technology is bad

[Mímir]

I love watching threads that tightwalk the politics rule.

Thanks, I'm trying my hardest.

Yes, I'm sure that "technology" (because apparently that's what 3D printers are, right?) is to blame, and not the fact that, oh I don't know, anyone can buy an assault rifle for the price of a TV. It's gotta be technology.

While that might be true in some parts of the world, it isn't in many others.

Evil, deranged, and fanatical people are always going to find a way to harm others. Gun control, like so many other issues, are 'issues' because there is no clear answer. Take away the guns and people will simply find some other way to hurt each other.

Aye, but the scale has tipped significantly. Killing is much more efficient now that we have more than sticks and stones to do it with, wouldn't you agree? The "people kill people" argument is very true on one level, and very moot on another.

P.S. I just re-read Ulrich Beck's book so forgive me for polemizing and seeing risks everywhere:)
