comission! a portrait of Jack from Mass Effect, inspired by tarot card portraits from Dragon Age: Inquisition.
something a bit different this time. I have to say that it was a VERY interesting challenge! not exactly my comfort zone - I don’t do texturing and backgrounds very often, as some of you might have already noticed. but I’m quite happy with the final result :)

Nothing is going to change. Americans love their guns more than they love people and after Sandy Hook we decided that killing over 20 children was acceptable and not outrageous enough to make reasonable restrictions on guns. This is America, a country that has been around for 200 years, a superpower, a 1st world nation, and one of the wealthiest countries on the planet and we refuse to protect our own people. We respect guns more than we respect the lives of people.

What specific gun control measures would you propose and how would they directly and effectively make society safer?
- Absolutely get rid of all AR-15′s and the like.
- Intense background and criminal background checks and anything violent automatically disqualifies you.
- Make getting a gun/gun permit more like getting a driver’s license:
- permit to learn
- includes an exam with 18 or more questions on the policies, laws, and etc of guns and gun ownership
- if you get more than 8 questions incorrect you must retake it.
- 30 hours of practical experience at a gun range with a licensed teacher
- Must take a 5 hour class on the dangers of guns and how to use them safely which will then yield you a certificate that grants you to take the practical exam and lasts for one year. If you don’t gain the license within the allotted year you must retake the class.
- A practical exam with a licensed instructor who will grade you on various skills. If you pass you may be granted a permit on the weapon of your choice, the exams may differ on the type of firearm you want.
- Follow the Japanese model where you must have two gun safes in different areas of the house, one to store the gun and one to store the bullets and you must provide the police with information on where those safes are.
- No concealed carry and only handguns may be allowed to be out in public.
- If transporting a weapon, it must be in the trunk of the vehicle, in a bag or some other case, safety on and unloaded and may not leave the vehicle until you are at the destination.
- If you’re a hunter or some other gun hobbyist that requires a functional weapon other than a handgun then the gun must stay on the premises, whether that is a gun range or the Fish and Wildlife facility.
- If you live in a rural area where police (and people, for that matter) are few and far between, something akin to a deer hunting rifle should provide plenty of protection from predators and poachers, you still have to follow the aforementioned steps.
- This doesn’t cover everything but I think it’s a good place to start.

Can you show me evidence that this would directly and effectively create a safer society?
I have never laughed so hard at a gun law post. Like seriously, the evidence is in fucking reality. The proposed restrictions are just fucking logic.

Private handgun ownership has been banned in the UK since 1996 (after a guy walked into a primary school and murdered a class of six year olds). Since then there’s been one mass shooting, total.
Do the fucking math.
If we want gun control, we have to fight for it. We can't let the press talk about it for a week after people die and then drop the subject. We can't let politicians talk about the tragedies of these deaths without demanding a response in how they're going to take care of it.
Gawker had an article recently about how gun control supporters need to do what pro-lifers do: protest outside gun stores, share images of people killed by guns, lobby hard to Congress, show a politician they would get voted to office if they backed gun control. Annoy the shit out of people until they give us what we want, and then demand more.
We already know they won't listen to reason. We have to irritate them if we want them to listen to us.

question: i’m trying to compile a list of shootings in my lifetime in which the shooter’s guns were legally obtained
would you consider using another person’s legally obtained guns as legal posession of a firearm?
princeloki
i would say no. im pretty sure the legal possession of a firearm is not transferable between two people if no one involved is qualified to issue a license / permit to own the gun
but gun laws vary from state to state don’t they?

Thank you!
In VA you don’t need any sort of license or permit to own guns up to certain higher calibers so honestly there’s no real legal vs illegal way to transfer ownership. Basically you just go “okay here’s your gun now”.
So if they directly stole it from the person then that’s unlawful, but if the person gave it to them or they had some sort of non-binding agreement (cause there is no binding one) to share them, then that would probably be considered lawful possession.
wow, i actually lived there and i had no idea it was that lax
