The shade of idiot Jack Thompson with brain worm here.
Switzerland has a comparable number of guns as we do
How is 120 per capita (USA) comparable to 26?
120 guns per American (ie per capita) vs 26 guns per Swiss??
According to TFA:
Roughly 3-in-10 citizens in both Switzerland and the United States own guns
So the number of owners is similar, which is probably more meaningful than the absolute number of guns.
What happened to ol jack. I’m really hoping he got ran over by a arcade cabinet? Just looked and he is still kicking. He is also still hating that no one cares what he thinks.
Jack Thompson? Haven’t heard much since he got disbarred! What was the blog I used to always read about him on… Can’t recall! Wasn’t he actually beefing with them?
In 2024, years after his disbarment from practicing law, as well as his notoriety with gamers fading with the passage of time, Jack Thompson had appeared to have denounced his disdain for video games. On an interview with the My Perfect Console podcast, Thompson praised video games for helping out disabled people with their interactive nature.[50][51][52][53][54][55]
WELL AINT THAT SOME SHIT
We all knew it was performative.
Classic. This is why I shit up every school I ever went to.
/S
This has been disproven so many times. People with mental health issues shoot up schools.
NO, people with mental health issues are less likely to commit violence than the general population. Violence is fully within the normal human gamut.
Oh I see, so you would say someone who wanted to kill people can have good mental health? Interesting point of view.
How quickly you retreat to sophistry. I said what I meant. Everyone can see it right there, you cannot twist it, no matter how you try. The vast majority of murders and other violent acts are committed by people who are not dealing with any mental disabilities. Contrarily, people with mental disabilities commit violence far less than the general population. When you said, “People with mental health issues shoot up schools,” you might have merely been speaking imprecisely, but then you doubled down on it. I suggest you do some research on the subject before you stigmatize mental illness again.
Arent Mental disabilities and mental health issues different? When I hear someone talk about a mental disability I think of something like a learning disability, or autism. I dont believe they have the propensity to be violent anymore or less than the average. Mental health, however, I think are more states of the mind and can happen to anyone with or without mental disability. Mental health episodes cause one to think and believe in extraordinary circumstances which causes people to do extraordinary things. Im fairly certain thats what the op was talking about.
So, normal people having a bad day. We must aggressively treat people having bad days, even if they don’t consent to treatment, because normies are a violent threat to public safety.
Less ironically, I don’t agree with your distinction. When people say that “mental issues” cause people to shoot up a school, I think they are talking about serious psychological disorders, not a transient state of mind that might happen to anyone. They are unconsciously looking for an “other” to blame.
