Lets just pretend for a moment that Israel has NOT spent the last 50 years murdering random Arabs all over their country. Lets say that tomorrow members of the IDF just lines up a bunch of Palestinian kids against a wall and shot them. Would that be wrong?

The light truck category is incredibly broad (everything from zero to 14,000 lbs. My point is that the current crop of light trucks are verging closer to the top of that category than they historically had been even within that category apart from its increasing presence in the mix of consumer cars.

They WOULD allow a paranoid schizophrenia to hold office if they voted correctly and hated the right people.

Sadly these leaders aren't actually ignorant, they know full well that they are lying. They encourage their followers to be ignorant so that those lies continue to work. This guy goes home knowing that he is full of shit and that he successfully manipulated a bunch of morons into supporting him.

They also actively fight against ACCURATE translations because they have already built so many false arguments based on the least accurate and most out of date translations available. Even if the book WAS originally in English an original text from the 1600s would be a challenge.

Kind of tracks TBH. That kid is messed up.

Especially since they aren't even light any more. Compare a Ford Ranger from the 1990s or early 2000s to the current generation and it looks like a toy. The current generation of light trucks and SUVs are bigger than full sized trucks and SUVs from 20 years ago.

Plus its honestly getting kind of hard to NOT buy an SUV or a large car. The smallest car at an American Honda dealership is an SUV (HRV) now and its fucking massive compared to their smallest car from just a few years ago (Honda Fit). If you wanted an actual compact car you aren't getting one there. That is the same story at a lot of dealers. EVERYTHING is big. Hell, even historic compacts like the Civic and Corolla are massive next to their previous generations. I have a 2000 civic that looks like a toy next to a 2023 civic.

Getting shot at all is an anomaly, but if its a big enough problem to care about AT ALL (and clearly anyone who owns a gun for defense cares about that anomaly a great deal) then mass shootings are indeed a significant contributor to that issue.

Also, a person's personal risk of suicide is highly dependent on their own health and choices. I can exert control over that risk by simply not owning a gun. How do I mitigate my risk of being the victim of a mass shooting? Just don't go outside?

And if you don't want to actually DO any of that work you can just hire a service that already has the accounts to do it for you.

Is it really hard for you to believe that people genuinely don't think that just randomly murdering thousands of people is bad? That says a lot more about you than it does about me.

People don't get their guns taken away after literally threatening to kill people and getting institutionalized and you are worried about it happening over Oreos? How about we START with the self-identified violent maniacs and then worry about the oreo scenario?
