This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
Would that be the case, but safety people seem to end either end up fixated on very specific, relatively rare crimes (see magazine limits, long guns/assault weapons vs. hand guns), aesthetics (assault weapons) or narratives (suppressors, 3d printed guns) with a limited sense of balance. To the OP, folks using any of those alternates are more likely to kill themselves then anyone else. The low hanging fruit is a pressure cooker and some fireworks (see the Boston Marathon bombing) which any idiot could acquire.
This seems to be specific to the US. In Europe, most people are just not allowed to own guns, with very few exceptions (e.g. hunting, security, sport shooting), and of the exceptions most are not allowed to carry in public.
The 3d printed guns thing is a stupid moral panic, the correct point to consider legislation would be if murdered with printed weapons become common. Assault weapon bans, magazine limits and so all target mass shootings, which are simply the flashiest events of gun violence. I don't think that this is entirely unreasonable. The median victim of gun violence is probably some gang member, and the public does not care very much about them. By contrast, they care a lot about school shootings, and banning AR-15s (which some cops find too scary to face) or large magazines (which allow attackers to shoot more people without becoming vulnerable while reloading) can help lower the casualties there.
