@Aldo2 I hate this argument so much. "nothing real is happening, but it COULD BE REAL so that's why it's bad!"
@Aldo2 same shit with everything else people want to ban. Guns COULD be used in school shootings. You still CAN drive your car while drunk. Gas stoves COULD be a detriment to your health.

@LukeAlmighty @Aldo2 imagine getting an "unlimited fine" for having a pocket knife lmao what a joke
@Corfiot @Aldo2 @LukeAlmighty the court just arbitrarily decides how severe your crime was and then they charge you based on that. I'm sure you'd be fined more for having 10 knives on you, or for having a knife that looks scary.
Unlimited fines seems to me to its face to discriminate against poorer people. Wealthy people can just pay $2mil and keep on carrying a scary knife the very next day. Poor people won't be able to pay, what then? Wouldn't you throw them in jail for not paying? So in the end it's trading jail time for money. I probably am missing something, I'm not into legal stuff
@Corfiot @Aldo2 @LukeAlmighty nah that's pretty much exactly what it is.
pay $1mil or get in jail for 2 years - not much point, is there
