Even if you are paying your own bills, a no-seatbelt-driver-took-a-ballistic-path-through-the-windshield-and-into-the-grill-of-the-oncoming-truck accident will require a full freeway shutdown and hours of investigation and cost tens of thousands of people time and the local agencies’ time and money to deal with, instead of a much simpler no-fatality crash.
It’s the same argument in favor of motorcycle helmet laws. Not wanting to wear a helmet doesn’t bother me (though I think motorcycle licenses should be organ donor opt-out instead of opt-in by default) but when your scalp is shaved down to gray matter or your skull and a road sign attempt to occupy the same space, the extra effort to deal with that affects everyone else.

Lol, I didn't misrepresent anything. You in fact did misrepresent what I said though.

I never said they weren't more dangerous. I said other weapons are also dangerous.

No denial. You've wilfully misrepresented what I said, moved the goal posts from killing to 'hurting' and are trying to argue in favour of gun ownership by claiming they're no more dangerous than a baseball bat.
Which is why wars are still fought with swords and clubs.

Here's a question. If guns aren't more dangerous than knives or bats, why do you need one?

I never moved the goal posts. I pointed out that other weapons are also considered equalizers.
You are the one moving the goal posts by declaring these other weapons to not equalize enough.

No. My argument has been the same. You're the one moving the goalposts in order to avoid dealing with my point that a gun makes it extremely easy to kill someone in way that those other weapons do not.

That's how I learned to order Tito's instead of Dripping Springs vodka in bars. Trying to pronounce the latter after a few drinks would get me cut off immediately.

The financial collapse of 2008 was caused by Wall Street. Trillions wiped out and millions of retirements destroyed. No one went to jail and they actually got bonuses and tax payer bailouts.
But if someone gets drunk and fucks up, the bar tender could be personally liable.
I'm so tired of this dystopian shitscape.

So now your argument is that those weapons don't level the playing field enough, lol.
Point is kids in England hurt eachother with weapons all the time. Just because they aren't using guns, doesn't mean there aren't people with problems.

Knives, hatches and pipes require me to get within punching distance or close too. Like I said, I'm not very good at fighting.
A bomb requires planning and a certain amount of technical knowledge.
To kill you with a gun I just need to lose my temper when I have the gun and I can kill from the other side of the room.
It turns a small, angry man like me in to a very dangerous one. My anger is self limiting usually because like I said, small, not very good at fighting, if I over step the mark I get my ass beat.
Not if I've got a pistol in my coat.

If they kept serving her after she was already drunk then that is actually largely on them for what happened as a result. Not saying that it eliminates her responsibility entirely. But if you're drunk, you are objectively not in a state to make any kind of reasonable decision. That's kind of why there are laws everywhere that put a legal burden on an establishment not to serve people like that.
I work very briefly in the food industry and asides from washing their hands this is one of the number one things they drive into your head. Businesses that are licensed to serve alcohol take this stuff extremely seriously for good reason. The legal liability is huge.
People have kind of gotten to the point where alcohol gets treated like it's harmless. It's not. It's actually not. It's a mind-altering substance. It's fine if used responsibly! But part of the responsibility is that whomever is providing it needs to also be responsible.

Not the concert's fault. She should be suing the dynamite maker.

Kinder egg = only hurting yourself with disappointment. Seatbelt? Now you are costing ME money to publicly fund your treatment for stupidity after getting in a wreck. You playing for all bills yourself, then there's no problems.

O uO And I wish not wear my seat belt knowing well what outcomes may happen if I don't. I should be entitled to make my own decisions without them turning me into a criminal all because I refuse to keep myself safe. And where's that damn KinderEgg!

Why should you go to jail for a crime somebody else noticed? You don't need double-talk; you need Bob Loblaw.
