it is no exaggeration to state that Kant’s philosophy is in fact evil.

“An argument in southern Russia over philosopher Immanuel Kant, the author of “Critique of Pure Reason,” devolved into pure mayhem when one debater shot the other”

The shooter wanted to prove that the other guy doesn’t exist.

“I guess the shooter decided that it was necessary to shoot the other guy.”

Yes, it was the moral thing to do, according to Kant. Some people just need killing. Next time, the shooter should use a larger calibre, it carries greater moral authority. /s

Rubber bullets.

Russia also makes the OSA:

OSA (Russian: ОСА, "wasp") is a family of Russian non-lethal pistols that can be also used as flare gun, flashbang gun or starting pistol. The system consists of the gun (2-4 cartridges, laser target pointer, electronic ignition capsule), and various ammunition types.

It's not recommended to shoot anybody at close range with either gun.

Ayn Rand was an all-out Kant hater, which was the one thing I like the most about her. Kant was the prototype for the modern college professor: write indecipherable drivel so that other professors say you are “brilliant”. LOL
