Punishment is kind of moot at that point isn’t it?

I don’t think it’s for you. You seem the type to want somebody else (the state) to protect you from what could happen.
What could happen?
As long as I personally do not harm someone even though my actions could cause them harm I am good.
Or so I have been told.

I am glad that we agree that I have the freedom to drop puppies off of my roof and then admonish people when they JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND
Allowing emotions to get in the way of clear thinking.
I am not being emotional.
Unless the emotion is elation that I can drop puppies from the roof without consequences

WuWei:
Did she?
Yes, she jumped from the top of a 46-story building in the country’s most crowded city. Reckless, dangerous, and illegal.
Nah. Apparently not.
One also has a right to shoot into a crowd and as long as no one gets hit it is all cool.
It’s the no harm no foul principle of FREEDOM.
And you can abort a human child…so your point is?

Maybe. Who knows?
If you don’t know, don’t accuse.

She jumped from the 46th floor. From that height she couldn’t reliably hit someone or assure that she wouldn’t. Reckless.
She didn’t. That’s your opinion.

Oh my, how dramatic. Guns don’t kill people, people do, and we arrest people when they unlawfully try to kill people with guns. We also arrest people when they drink too much and drive into oncoming traffic even if no one dies.
You also try to ban guns and there are those who would ban alcohol and weed. You texted while driving last week. Even if no one died…
“We” don’t arrest anyone. You have the state do it for you.

We’ll probably never know.
We do know. You know and I know she didn’t, but again, if you can’t prove, don’t accuse.

And you can abort a human child…so your point is?
FREEDOM!!!

There’s the shift.

Or so I have been told.
Somebody could do it to you. And that’s what skeers you.

WuWei:
Are you advocating punishing people for what might happen instead of what did happen?
I certainly hope none of you are feeling this way, but I fear you are.
Punishment is kind of moot at that point isn’t it?
Is it? Then what’s the point of the law?

If you don’t know, don’t accuse.
I didn’t accuse her of trying to kill someone.

She didn’t. That’s your opinion.
She didn’t jump from the 46th floor? That’s what the story says.

You also try to ban guns
No, I don’t.

there are those who would ban alcohol and weed
Idiots.

You texted while driving last week.
No, I didn’t.

You know and I know she didn’t, but again, if you can’t prove, don’t accuse.
Again, I didn’t.

Wait! Do you mean prior restraint in general?

I didn’t accuse her of trying to kill someone.

Again, I didn’t.
No? Strange. I certainly didn’t bring it up.

She didn’t jump from the 46th floor? That’s what the story says.
She didn’t hit anyone.

No, I don’t.
Yes you do. As defined by the 2nd Amendment.

Idiots.
Your stuff? Are they more wrong than you?

No, I didn’t.
You could have. Prove you didn’t.

And you can abort a human child…so your point is?
Your own fetus… yes.
No equivalence here.
I did not say she was trying to kill someone, I support the 2A, and I never text and drive. Stop with the straw men.

And you can abort a human child…so your point is?
CHECKMATE LIBS!!!

It has been part of it the entire time.
Libs checkmated themselves.

Scared?
I am excited.

How do you punish someone that is dead?
