It doesn't matter who thinks what. There's a law and it was broken, off you go to jail.

Good thing all laws are ethical, moral and make sense. I imagine everybody on lemmy will agree that laws are the best thing ever that they never break.

Having weapons or ammo on you as a civilian is 100% unethical and immoral.

yet when we talk about the morality surrounding selling stupid, violent and dangerous people firearms you get laser focused on literal (MISINTERPRETATION) of a 200yr old document. And your stupidity and support of said stupidity literally results in dead kids, by the thousands.

Tell me again about the morality regarding the cult of the bang bang, please.

That's fucking hilarious.

"WOULD ANYONE THINK OF THE CHILDRIIIIN" argument about someone who loses 12 years of their life and isn't there to raise them after a single round is found in their baggage. Isn't that what police do with potheads? Guess that's justified too

nuanced argument. you upset bro?

how many people do you think they should just forgive when it keeps fucking happening?

Ryan Watson, 40, of Oklahoma, a father of two who was most recently arrested for unknowingly having ammo in his bag on April 12, remains on the island. Both men previously told Fox News Digital that they had the ammo in their bags from prior hunting trips.

Michael Lee Evans, 72, pleaded guilty to having ammunition in his bag on April 24, according to local news outlet the Turks & Caicos Sun. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for June 18.

how many times should this country watch stupid americans try it again and again before someone actually pays consequences?

and how many people do you think our country would forgive?

pfft.
