handguns are the most effective force-equalizer for the old or weak.
Then all the weak should have guns by that flawed logic. Including those mentally ill shooters, that sandy hook shooter was weak, so him having guns was logical.

Also you don't typically see weak and old with guns, you see tattooed dudes with big trucks showing them off.....I guess they are weak, just overcompensating.
The whole gun culture is perhaps overcompensating for lack of something else.....

how hard do you think it is to manufacture explosives?
Ask the Columbine kids. They made dozens of bombs. Their attack wasn't primarily a school shooting - it was a failed school bombing. Turns out that powerful bombs are difficult to make, and exceptionally difficult if you don't have military demolitions training, access to rural land, or an agricultural company to buy bulk fertiliser and associated chemicals.



Any asshole can pull a trigger, though.

Oh wait, you can't ask them anyway. They both shot themselves dead in the school library. With their guns. That worked fine.

I have to say it's funny to watch people who don't live in America say "My country doesn't have this problem. Therefore America needs these regulations that my own country doesn't have."

Haven't you commented on the NZ covid response?

And maybe other developed countries don't have the same gun problems as America does because - unlike America - they don't have more guns than people?

American society is fucking broken. I'm being a broken record but:
  • They didn't give black people equal rights until the 1960s.
  • They have the lowest life expectancy in the Western world.
  • They have the highest rate of absolute poverty in the Western world.
  • They are the only developed nation without national healthcare.
  • They're allowing states to outlaw abortion.
  • They have extreme rates of fundamentalist religion.
  • Military spending equal to the next ten countries combined.
  • Highest number of prisoners, both per capita and absolute.
  • Highest rate of murder among developed nations BY FAR.

Their Constitution is an incredible document, it's a shame they don't live by it.

Then you should be allowed to buy a musket dating back when constitution was written, not an AR 15 with a massive clip.
Then you shouldn't be able to type messages, you should be writing with a feather dipped in iron gall ink on parchment.

What a braindead thing to even think.

They didn't give black people equal rights until the 1960s.
But they did, remember which team opposed it a billion to zero.
Name a country that's perfect in human history.

They have the lowest life expectancy in the Western world.
And what's your theory on that?
Gun violence?
What are the 3 main causes of mortality, and what could the same government touting "gun control" do to curb those issues, and why haven't they?

They have the highest rate of absolute poverty in the Western world.
In the "western world"?
Care to elaborate on who's included in "the western world" and what metrics are used for the word "poverty"?
America's homeless addicts-by-design make more money on the freeway corners than 90% of the planet with the option to eat like the kings of old couldn't.

They are the only developed nation without national healthcare.
I think you need a hundred-year history lesson on the etymology and actionable consequences of "healthcare".
I guess the last 2 weren't obvious enough.
BTW, it is nationalized, for the 90+%, you might look into that with the keywords "medicare", "medicaid", the "VA", then scroll through proxies, subsidiaries & bureaucracy.

They're allowing states to outlaw abortion.
"They" should've never federalized it, America is a republic. Maybe you should actually read the constitution you cited with a fresh set of eyeballs.
It's "they" who broke established precedent with the passage of R V Wade in the first place, based on emotion, a lobby that eclipses the NRA, an agenda and bald-faced lies.

I find it ironic you cite American society as broken without having a clue you propagate the root causes of its decay.
Protection of the unborn is the core of moral decline; anyone who doesn't grasp this serves only an agenda that calls them "useful idiots", virtue-signaling regarding the gun "debate" as well as most others along a party line.
I'd search high-IQ individuals and watch them debate on it with the core arguments being 'war' and 'population control'.


They have extreme rates of fundamentalist religion.
Yeah, it's one of the core principals the country was founded on, why hundreds of millions have(and do) flock(ed) here over centuries across oceans the diameter of the moon avoiding persecution, and arguably the glue that holds the experiment together.
Where's the inclusion?

Military spending equal to the next ten countries combined.
Amazingly the citation of military strength and its implications are completely missed in this base argument.
World powers use mutually assured destruction as a premise for stability, but apparently not for the individual?

Highest number of prisoners, both per capita and absolute.
A career in penology might suit you. Or just have a chat with 10 prison guards who've spent more than 10 years in the system.
It's a terrible and tragic societal problem, but that's only because all the wrong people are incarcerated.
It's the orchestrators who belong there, most of the people who help form your opinions on that rectangular device in the living room.
Again, the root cause alludes you.


Highest rate of murder among developed nations BY FAR.
Not even close to close.
The highest rate of murder belongs SOLELY to the governments of the world.
Individuals don't even have the capacity to kill on the scope of governments to their own people as well as abroad.


You like many here are stuck in a box.
If studying is too time-consuming take a mushroom or DMT trip, and before you begin, write the golden rule on a piece of paper in front of you.
Recall that "everything I needed to know I learned in kindergarten", then look around at ANY government and ask yourself if they're abiding by that principal.

Do Gavin Newsome, Lori Lightfoot, Bill DeBlasio, Jacinda Arden, Bill Gates, George Soros, Joe Biden, Klaus Schwab, Tedros Ghebreyesus, Emmanuel Macron, Jinping Xi and Justin Trudeau look like they're treating us like they want to be treated?

lock the fucking doors. secure the fucking schools so a killer cant just walk into the school and massacre kids.
Isn't it funny how Senators and world leaders never have school shootings in their kids schools?

Gee, I wonder why that is.

Divide and conquer couldn't be more blatantly obvious.

Maybe the world should wake the fuck up and target the right enemy.
