Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
This whole law abiding citizen narrative pushed by gun nuts is B.S. There is no way for the government to know if a person is law abiding. The government only knows if a person has been convicted of a crime.
Lets look at Hondaracer. He is a gun owner and a person who is not a law abiding citizen because he has admitted to smoking weed before it was legal. Technically he should not be allowed to own a gun but he has never been caught.
Jesus Christ you’re such a fucking clown.

Slow that roll man... if buying drugs of any sort was the bar for legality on this forum you and like 2 other people might be the only ones posting.
I don't think it's helping your argument any.
Unless I'm reading it wrong, I think you guys are missing manic's point... I think I get where he's going, but maybe he could clarify it?
At the very least I don't think he's judging honda for buying drugs illegally... It seems to be more a comment on the tired defense of relaxed gun laws that some people have.
Turns out that this guy's mother was a member of one of the many cults (or "modern religions" as they're called there). They completely ripped her off and bankrupted her.
Abe (and many other politicians in his party) had ties to this cult (actually Trump did too, but just a paid speaking arrangement) so that's who he went after.
I'm not sure how well known it is, but Japan has IMO a pretty big problem with these cults. Basically take Scientology and multiply it by dozens, because that's how many there are. They all recruit heavily, and will rip off anyone in any way they see fit. And a lot of them have ties to the LDP, Abe's party. That's probably why it's not really being reported in mainstream Japanese news.
I read it was the Unification Church aka. The Moonies
The PDF link comments on controversial money raising activities tarnishing the churches image.
It has blend of various influences like Taoist philosophy and Buddhism. Those two, including Judism, Hinduism and other so called religions can be traced back to similarities in Greek gods and its mythologies.
A cult has agreed to pay about 230 million yen in compensation to an elderly woman for forcing her to donate a massive amount of money to redeem her ancestors' sins.
The Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of Christianity, known as "Toitsu Kyokai" in Japan, has agreed to pay the settlement money to a 70-year-old woman from Chiba Prefecture, who had demanded the cult compensate her for about 220 million yen that she donated to the religious group.
.....
The victim told the press, "I was told that my ancestors were suffering in hell. The amount of money they demanded got higher and higher, and I felt bound by hand and foot."
According to Kito, the woman paid the donations to the cult during a five-year period until 2005. When the woman demanded the cult pay back the donations and pay her compensation, the cult initially didn't comply.
However, after the victim told the cult that she would file a suit against it
Yup they will tell people that their ancestors are suffering, and can only be helped if you give them all your money.. This guy's mom sold her house and gave literally all her money, about 50 million yen.
As you can see from CiC's post that correlates to the real world for once, they have been successfully sued for their coersion.
I guess the guy actually had some lucidity behind his motives, hoping to find some way to crush these cults. Unfortunately they raise WAY too much money for the LDP so that's never going to happen.
