  1. Select the running lights and make copies. Keep them the same emissive texture. Select the lights in vertex mode. In the LOD panel go to options and give them an id of 0. Then d the same in polygon mode just for sure, then attach to extras. As for getting the drl to turn off at other times I'm not sure tbh. May have to remove them or just attach them to the headlights or something (Or make them the same id as the proper headlights).

    The gun-loving folks in the U.S. refuse to give up their guns. Ever. They are all the more convinced that every time one of these shootings at our schools in the U.S. takes place that they are going to be there, saving everyone. Delusions are a hard habit to break.

    Yes, and this is further evidenced by a spike in purchase of guns every time a mass shooting hits the news.

    yawn...lawmakers ARE stupid, they are the very reason we are trillions in debt and you want to talk about gun murders? look no further then Chicago, the most strictest gun laws in the nation yet hundreds of people die including children yet you don't see it reported in the lamestream media because it doesn't fit there agenda, that gun free zone didn't stop the shooter, so what are you going to do when the government goes rogue? restricting guns isn't going to prevent tyranny from happening, instead of blaming the gun we should blame politicians, we should blame big pharma for giving out so many shady drugs, and more importantly blame the gun free zone sign, it doesn't stop a criminal from doing harm oh heres a sign I guess I cant go in and shoot people, just remember the government is about control not safety and the media is the propaganda mouth piece, cant gut the economy when theres 300 million gun owners

    I am so glad you brought up Chicago because it's a talking point I'm well versed in refuting:

    Chicago does have an extraordinary amount of shootings and they have, as you so eloquently put it, "the most strictest gun laws in the nations." The Chicago Police reported that at least 60% of guns confiscated from criminals in Chicago were from out of state. Many from Indiana. A state with far less restrictive gun laws right next to Chicago, which means criminals simply cross the border, buy the gun, go back across the border, and commit crimes.

    There is an eerily similar situation in Boston, again 60% of guns confiscated come from outside the state.

    Government goes rogue? Seriously. Ok. First of all, the chances of a government going rogue is so low it's laughable. Second of all, I wish you luck with your pistol against a Tank or an attack helicopter. That's ridiculous.

     

    I addressed your gun free zone idea in my last argument and you introduced no new evidence or analysis so I won't even bother responding to that point. 

     

     

    "just remember the government is about control not safety"

     

    Just remember, parents lost kids, kids lost friends, etc. etc. etc. There are not "300 million gun owners" This is just further evidence that you have no idea what you're talking about. According to the guardian, "Only 22 to 31% of Americans adults say they personally own a gun." and "Just 3% of American adults own a collective 133m firearms – half of America’s total gun stock." This is not an armed populace, it is an overarmed few.

    I'd also like to point out that I use sources for my arguments, and you are just rambling, so there is not much for me to reply to, but I'd like to at least share the info with anyone who cares to see a different side of the argument.

    As a Canadian, it is a sad thing to admit that I've gotten used to these sort of headlines emerge from the states, and I was not surprised at all. Just disappointed in the broken system of gun regulation. If this was to happen in Canada, then I'd feel really shocked and upset, but its just such a common occurrence for this to happen in the U.S, and not just limited to school schooting, but mass shootings in general.  I hope the families of these victims will grieve in peace and find closure in their own time. 

    I've become so numb to them

    getting rid of gun free zones will solve the problem but seems to go over most peoples heads, I do not like going to areas that have signs posted gun free zones....might as well say sitting ducks zone, if I was the parents I would sue the fuck out of that school for leaving people defenseless but instead you have the looney bin gun control crowd shouting for more strict gun laws are usually the most ignorant and uneducated group in this country, theres almost always a drill before a shooting but no one mentions that......nothing to see here move along

    1) Totally incorrect. There were two ARMED officers there. Would you like students to carry guns as well? Teachers? What happens when a teacher gets disgruntled? What happens if a student obtains the teacher's gun? That is the worst solution floated whatsoever.

     

    2) We are the most armed country per capita among first world countries. We also have the most gun homicides in the first world. It's not a coincidence. 

    Here are some graphs:

    Spoiler

    Image result for table of gun ownership vs gun homicides

    It is almost directly proportional the gun ownership rate of a country versus the gun deaths. (One key exception is Switzerland which has conscription and trains its citizens gun safety by law) You'll also notice that the states that do not fall directly on the line of best fit are also some of the least densely populated states in the country. 

     

    3) Also, you do not understand the very reasoning behind "gun free zones". 

    Lawmakers are not stupid, both sides know that a sign will not stop criminals, but that's not what the gun free zones are for. Gun free zones are almost universally for preventing accidental shootings. For example when someone is cleaning a gun and it goes off, you don't want that person (even if they are law abiding gun owners) near other people in public.

     

    4) I'm really not sure what you mean by "theres almost always a drill before a shooting but no one mentions that". Whether you mean that there are fake shootings happening, or if the drills aren't working. If you are talking about the second one, then I agree, the drills do nothing but calm the nerves of students until either the resource officers (again this school, and many schools in Florida, had firearms) or the SWAT teams arrive. But there is really no drill to prepare children for being gunned down in school.

     

    Finally, I understand, guns should be allowed for all law abiding citizens that want them and can safely train with them, but the amount of guns in this country is so ordinarily high that it makes it difficult for legislation that would protect those law abiding citizens.

    Definitely sad and unfortunate. Condolences to the families that lost loved ones. 

    School shootings? No, there’s only been 4 others this year. 

    "Only"

    Yeah, and to clarify, based on one of the many definitions of mass shootings, this is 18. Based on others as many as 30, some others far less.  But Divine is correct, this is the fourth school shooting.

    The people who aren't meeting these requirements are already getting paid almost nothing. YouTube has also gotten so much larger than when the program was originally set up. More money needs to go to mid-size channels (100k subs) and less to the thousands of channels with 500 subs who each are getting paid probably a dollar per video. A lot of these channels are sucking the money away from YouTube with little to no return. Just not financially viable.

  6. It will not work with ELS. I'm not sure that there is a similar car released at this time. 

     

    Just about any car will work in FBI2, all you need to do is rename the vehicle files from *****.yft, *****.ytd, etc. to fbi2.yft, etc. If the car is ELS, you must also change the name of text file that goes in the pack_default folder.

    Electoral college bruh. Not to mention, the entire American political system is so ripe with corruption, there's probably no legitimate way to fix it at this point.

    I would like to blame the electoral college, but it doesn't negate the fact that tens of millions of people voted for this absolute lunatic. 

     

    It's honestly so demoralizing to watch, but it is also a really good indication of how f***** our politics are. People just blindly vote for candidates based on the letter next to their name, without even looking at merit or qualifications. The Alabama race is a really good portrayal of this; Two judges, one who has been thrown off of courts twice, and another with a solid, good record. To most democrats, and I think most independents, the choice is simple (even without going into Moore's creepy past). But alas, we have an entire political party dedicated to putting someone who literally ignores the constitution into power.

    Not necessarily. Battling the perpetrator doesn't inherently mean that we're targeting the tool as well. We can look at cars. We are battling texting and driving by making it illegal to text and drive. Did we do anything to limit car access or car purchasing? No. We battle DUI by creating a legal toxication limit. Did we decide to ban cars or a certain type of car? No. We battle people flying through windshields by making it a legal requirement to wear your seatbelt. It goes on and on brother.

    Then how do you propose we find and eliminate all these "sick" people without restricting guns. America has one of the highest rates of mental disorder and disease in the world, it would be near impossible to properly diagnose and prevent those people from getting guns without having some sort of requirement at the point of sale. 

     

    We may "battle DUI by creating a legal toxication limit" but that only works AFTER the person has driven drunk. That's not preventing something from happening.

    Or they'll just get the gun illegally, and leave the law-abiding citizens even more defenseless anyways.

    Completely false. If that were the case, countries like Australia, the UK, France, etc which initiated programs to stopping gun violence would be seeing mass shootings, or shootings in general, at a similar rate that we were.

     

    How is it that many Americans (including myself) feel perfectly content with not owning a vast array of firearms. The only place they'd even be applicable is in my home, where by the time I even heard or got up to stop someone I would likely be dead, or the intruder would be gone. It's completely nonsensical to believe that in the chaos of a public mass shooting civilians will be able to figure out where the fire is coming from and effectively put that threat out, without harming others in their way.

     I fail to see the connection. Islam is a religion and therefore more or less a choice. Yes, when someone who choose to belong to a certain group does an attack, it's natural others would like to take revenge on its group. I'm not saying it's justified, but I do say I understand it.

     

    GUNS are not a religion, these are simple tools that people use. Before battling tools you may consider battling people that use them.  Some very sick people live in your country. Not trying to offend anyone as I like the US a lot, just sayin. 

     

     

    True, however it seems to me that in the US if the shooter is white they are "sick" and if the shooter is brown they MUST be part of some extreme group of terrorists. This is simply not the case, but the media and the politicians will have us believing it is.

     

    Battling the people that use the tools will unintentionally be battling the tools along with it. It's much easier to do a background on someone when they are purchasing guns rather than when they aren't doing anything out of the "norm"
