Are you guys talking about the rapist who now goes by Allen Turner to avoid his reputation as the rapist Brock Turner?

This change is like a month old in T+C. It’s 5 in a short period.

5 legal cases so far. Hordes of people in this and similar threads trying to hang tourists from the nearest tree because they enjoy guns.

I have never said anything about gun rights in relation to this case at all. I was suggesting that the other posters extremist views stem not from applying reason but instead from their prejudiced political views against guns. Just like your posts can’t get around your prejudice about my political views.

Regarding the actually substantive part of your reply: I am not simply applying US law standards in my argument. Intent is a globally recognized legal standard that actually stems from British common law and applies in T+C law as well.

I agree with most of the rest of what you said here about why their laws exist, but the application of it to these tourists in a tourism focused economy is wrong. This is at the end of the day a customs issue. Imprisoning a vacationing grandmother for 2 loose rounds would be insanity.

In your previous post you offered nothing substantive at all. You literally searched my post history to see if I was a member of any groups against which you’re prejudiced so you could feel better about dismissing my arguments without actually addressing them. That’s pathetic.

And again as far as accountability goes, I never suggested they shouldn’t be held accountable. Only that the years long prison sentences are absurd given the facts.

Thank you for your reply and maintaining my faith that intelligent life still posts on Lemmy.

Show me where I said that they shouldn’t hold him accountable? Or the others, including the grandma?

But yeah sure make it about political beliefs instead of facts.

Then you should try reading the article. It describes 4 of the recent cases. In those cases people were not found with guns and had 2, 2, 4, and 20 rounds of ammo respectively.

Go to the gun range once and you’ll understand that’s not smuggling ammunition for criminal use. That’s an oopsie I forgot that was in that bag.

You missed the part where I wrote “in smuggling cases”.

ETA: you also listed examples that do require intent… like omg I accidentally fucked a 17 year old.

Or omg my car just drove itself too fast.

What? Think then type.
