So you are saying you want more gun homicides and to you that increase in gun homicides is justified because at least then law abiding citizens don't have guns? That makes sense in... well.. nowhere. Stop drinking the cool-aid.

85 gun homicides compared to 11,000 in 2011.

Show me some UK bashing threads? Preferable try to stay on topic.

So being anti gun is now classed as "US Bashing"?

In the UK, limited guns has caused gun homicides to decrease. Grats. In the USA, banning guns has had the exact opposite effect. Those are the facts that you are willingly ignoring over and over and... Until you can realize that the UK /= USA, you will continue to spout the flawed logic and continue to not recognize history. Pretty sure you are doing it on purpose at this point though.

Here is the list of European countries whose most recent murder rates exceeded the U.S.'s.

? Greenland (19.2)

? Russia (10.2)

? Moldova (7.5)

? Lithuania (6.6)

? Ukraine (5.2)

? Estonia (5.2)

? Belarus (4.9)

Banning them in certain states won't work, it has to be a countrywide ban.

Rates are getting low and lower every year but statistics and facts don't work in this argument anymore.

No but this is:

Americans are too selfish to put it into practice.

and this is:

land of the free, OH SAY CAN YOU SEEEEEEEEEEEEEE........

Which we know can't happen since there are plenty of legitimate reasons to own them, not to mention we actually have borders that are impossible to patrol. Also, you are still arguing that we don't have the right to defend ourselves, meaning you are belittling the value of human life giving you no ground to stand on to begin with.

Slightly lower year on year isn't anything to be proud of when you have over 11,000 gun homicides alone a year.

No ones saying you don't have the right to defend yourself, the fact that you need a gun to do so is a sad thing.

No but this is: selfish americans

Hardly bashing when it is fact, all you hear from pro-gunners is me me me, they dont want gun bans, they dont want heavy restrictions, they dont want magazine restrictions, they dont want semi auto rifle bans, etc.. etc.. even go as far as threatening the government that they will shoot anyone who tries to come and take their guns away, naming no names.

This will not happen/

While the most recent murder rate is fairly low for the United States, we often hear that other countries like Australia, Japan and the UK have much lower murder rates. If we want to compare countries, we should not "cherry pick." Let's look at all countries. The United Nations collects such data. Out of 206 countries, the US ranks 103 - smack in the middle.

Whether it is sad or not isn't the topic. You just admitted it is a fact. You just defeated yourself.

You woudn't need them if guns were out of the hands of the general public with HEAVY restrictions on just being in possession of one.

Yes you would because its not the general public that go around murdering people. It's people with mental issues and criminal records who are the issue, who, contrary to what you seem to believe, are already legally not allowed to own a firearm. You are just arguing that only criminals are allowed to have guns because the law doesn't apply to them the same way it does to us. Go ahead and ban guns in Texas and see what happens. Gun crimes would sky rocket. Most of the illegal guns in Texas come in from Mexico. We see them as far north as here in Oklahoma. No amount of laws are going to change that.

Criminals do not go to a sporting goods store and purchase weapons. They buy them on the street where they get their drugs. This has been said many times in this forum.

If it doesn't back up their view point, its not a fact and it doesn't matter how many times its been said.

i do not like why people have dogs poop on my lawn and i have to clean it up but not enough to hurt anyone.

I have had a dog for 15 years and he does not run wild. When we take him for a walk we take a plastic bag to pick up his poop.

yeah i wish everyone did that. I setup a webcam on my window, caught the perp and reported to the HOA. All they do is fine them but still have poop in my yard.

Not true. There's a lot of disinformation being spread by the pro-gun nuts.

It is true. 14% bought their guns from a licensed dealer and that was probably way before they had any felony convictions. If you are a convicted felon , you cannot purchase a gun legally from any source. And speaking of Sources you cold have made that graph. I posted what I did because I know it to be factual from personal experience. Oh and citizens that own guns and or belong to The NRA are not Nuts as you say!

What you said isn't factual, it's anecdotal.

The graph is from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.

Sounds like the old man shot some white trash. Good for him.

I believe they were hispanic.

I really see this as a failure on the property management's part.

The old guy did complain, and they did little or nothing.

At the least the bad tenants should have had to either get rid of the dog, or move out.

Same difference, except it's mostly OK to say white trash, rather than another stereotypical racial descriptor.

I'm just glad the dogs were not shot. Although now they will probably end up in a shelter, and may be put down :/ But you're right management should of stepped in. Also don't get me wrong, the old man is scum as well. Humanity sucks.

    • TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 by Razvan Serea TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, also providing you with a lot of features. Copy files faster. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives. Pause and resume transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click. Error recovery. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer. Interactive file list. TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files. Shell integration. TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual. TeraCopy is free for non-commercial use only. For commercial use you need to buy a license. The paid version of the program includes the following features: Copy/move to your favorite folders. Save reports as HTML and CSV files. Select files with the same extension/folder. Remove the selected files from the copy queue. Features added since version 3.17: Enhanced speed graph. New multi-threaded copy engine. Support for copying to multiple targets. Queue system for managing multiple copy operations. Support for receiving files via the LocalSend protocol. TeraCopy entry in the modern Windows Explorer context menu. Integrated toolbar in the title bar. Why receive LocalSend transfers with TeraCopy? Handle file conflicts: Skip, overwrite, or rename files when a file with the same name already exists. LocalSend always creates another copy, which can waste time and disk space, especially when resuming an interrupted transfer. Filter unwanted files: Apply ignore lists or remove files manually before accepting a transfer, so unnecessary files are not downloaded. Better performance on fast networks: In tests over a 10 Gbps connection, TeraCopy received files several times faster than the standard LocalSend app on Windows. TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 changelog: Fixed a bug where Overwrite behaved as Overwrite All during same-drive move operations. AdvancedInstaller fixed the installer’s security vulnerability: EXE Bootstrapper resolved the %appdata% location incorrectly for the System account.

    • New AMD graphics driver fixes install issues and FSR 4.1 crashes on RX 7000 GPUs by Taras Buria AMD is rolling out yet another graphics driver. Version 26.6.4 is now available for download, bringing two important fixes. One is for those still using Windows 10 and having trouble installing driver 26.6.2. In fact, this patch is coming from the recently released hotfix, so it is not new if you are already running version 26.6.3. The second fix is for RX 7000 owners. AMD recently brought FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen graphics cards, but there was a bug with certain games crashing when using FSR 4.1. I experienced this issue with Forza Horizon 6, so today's driver should take care of that. Here is the official changelog: Intermittent install issue seen when installing AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 on Windows® 10 systems for Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Intermittent application crash may be observed in some games with AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 enabled on Radeon™ RX 7000 series graphics products. Known issues include the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield™ 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield™ 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield™ 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. You can download the AMD Radeon driver 26.6.4 from the official website here.

    • Amazon may use OpenAI and Nova models after Anthropic reportedly raises costs by Karthik Mudaliar Amazon is reportedly considering to use OpenAI models and even its own Nova family of AI models after Anthropic raised the cost of using Claude inside Amazon services. According to a report from The Information, Amazon is weighing its options to reduce costs under a new arrangement with Anthropic. But back in April, Amazon said it would invest $5 billion more in Anthropic, with the possibility of adding up to another $20 billion if certain commercial milestones are met. That investment actually came on top of another $8 billion Amazon had already put into the Claude maker. Anthropic, meanwhile, committed to spend more than $100 billion over 10 years on AWS technologies, including Amazon’s Trainium chips. Amazon isn't just a customer of Anthropic but also one of the most important backers and cloud partners. This is why it makes it interesting that Amazon is considering other alternatives to handle its internal workloads. Although Amazon has been building its own options for a while now. Its Nova family of AI models was announced in late 2024 for Amazon Bedrock, with models aimed at text, image, and video tasks. Amazon pitched the model around cost and latency at that time. With that said, OpenAI has also become a more realistic option recently for AWS customers as well as for Amazon itself. Earlier this year, OpenAI brought its latest models and Codex coding agent to Amazon Bedrock, after changes to its previously more restrictive Microsoft cloud arrangement. This allowed AWS to serve even those customers who wanted other alternatives from Claude, without having to move workloads out of Amazon's cloud. Evaluating alternatives could also be due to commercial pressure and not necessarily a sign of a damaged partnership between Amazon and Anthropic. Whether or not Amazon is actually considering switching entirely to OpenAI's models or its own Nova models remains unknown at this moment.
