[Politics] Guns in the US

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Nobody dies in England from drugs?

Nothing like the States no. Quick Google suggests 30 per 100,000 in USA 5 per 100,000 in the UK. So 6 times the amount.

We consider we have a problem with knife crime in this country. In reality apart from the odd incident of mistaken identity etc in the main those that get badly stabbed are usually from gangs or the "underground". If they wish to kill each other sobeit.

So it’s okay to kill people with guns if they’re gang members? That’s the majority of gun crimes in the US.

So why do you need a gun? Are you a gang member?

We tried, but Biden put a stop to it on his first day in office.

Actually, that’s a little misleading - most of the victims are teenage school kids (13-19 year olds) - they maybe in ‘gangs’ but many of the victims are innocent with absolutely no connection with gangs or drugs at all but victims of bullying and other socially related factors.

Good reason how else would his son get his fix

I don’t own a gun, but I believe in the right to own one.

It did happen! The place was shut because of it. We don't know whether the group in front had guns or not, but if you're trying to argue that people with guns don't get shot, you've truly lost your mind.

Please post a link, I am truly interested. And I am not arguing that people with guns don’t get shot. It happens every day in most big cities in America.

we are also very fortunate that we don’t have wankers obsessed with guns.

An Australian view and says it far better than I can

What drives your belief in the right to own one?

It’s hugely troubling to me, and we’re all groomed in “the American Way.”

I try to keep my youngest away from overly violent stuff, on TV or in the form of video games. However, at the age of 7 he can identify a bazooka, a sniper rifle, a pistol, a rocket or missile from a grenade.

We’re effectively psychologically prepared for warfare from childhood onward, and it sickens me.

I could have done the same ID at about 10 years old, I‘m not aware of killing anyone yet.
