It is the reason why any disagreement with far left programs, like those of the Greens, is not feasible on bluesky

Since 9/11 over 800 people have been killed & more than 10,000 injured in Islamist terror attacks in Western countries alone
Given your low tolerance for risk, would it not be consistent to support ending travel to Australia from the demographics that pose a demonstrable risk?

I disagree. Experienced recreational shooters can do a more than adequate job and I'm not out of pocket. It is a win-win.

IMO the main question here is how much the state should stop people enjoying themselves to protect both themselves and others from potential harms. Guns shouldn't be treated any differently from anything else

IMO it is oppressive to ban recreational shooting given Oz's extremely low gun murder rate— 0.90 ppl per 100,000 each year
In comparison, alcohol kills 5.9 ppl per 100,000 each year
I don't have a gun myself but I'm glad recreational shooters kill deer, foxes, rabbits on my farm free of charge.

You skimmed but you failed to register the gist of the article, which never implied that RFK Jr should be taken seriously. The subtly of the article actually made it far more damning than the heavy handed hectoring that the Bsky crowd demand—at least for those of us with adequate brain function

That will only happen if the Euro NATO countries send troops to Ukraine. But they are cowards, hence Putin can do as he likes. Even if Putin invaded the Baltic states, I doubt anything more than a stern letter would eventuate (and I can't see Trump's America honouring its NATO commitments).

What an appalling hypocrite. Please keep calling her out, Ben.
Many of us on the Left find your voice more compelling than the likes of Ms Caraballo. We can have empathy and love for traditionally abused minorities without disengaging our brains or devaluing facts and reason

Thinking about it some more, Trumpists (most of the GOP) are at least marginally violent and lawless, so in the US the mainstream right has more bad actors than the mainstream left.

I'm not tribal. I can think of no reason why bad actors shouldn't be evenly distributed across the political spectrum.
(of course I exclude the right and left fringes whose ideologies embrace violence and are therefore all bad actors by default)
