I'm sorry, I don't give a fukk. United States gun culture needs to change.. You don't see these huge massive shootings going on overseas.. We've had as many school shootings as everyone other continent has had, put together.

You're from Detroit and don't think having a gun would help you protect yourself? Strange

I'm from an upper class city and have had a gun pointed at my head twice and had my house broken into. A gun would have helped me out a lot in either situation.

And I agree most gun crime is money related rather than violence. But if I had a gun to fight back with, do you think those same people would come at me to get my money?

naw cuz i come from a fam of real cats
you can get that gun snatched out yo hand before you blink
the gun dont make the man it just make him think he a man
its a ego thing

since you from an "upper" class city why you need a gun?
coming from where im from it wouldnt be any violence if it wasnt economical problems in my city

so why you need one?

we cut from two different cloths bro

the average person needs a gun for his own EGO to make HIM feel safe
not to PROTECT anything

cuz if a gun fight brake out and innocent people dying
you aint doin shyt

so what you protecting?

So if it comes out tomorrow that this dude played violent video games, and he trained using GTA, and he was inspired by video games...


Would advocate banning certain video games?

Guns are banned in prison, and EVERYDAY someone gets killed, usually by an improvised weapon.


This argument reeks of the Drug War excuse.

Has stricter drug laws made drug use rarer?

It only made drugs more expensive.

Yes.

You don't give up your rights for safety.


Do you support the PATRIOT Act? Because that's the same reasoning behind why it was passed.

"Is your freedom and rights REALLY worth all these innocent 9/11 Victims and possible future attacks?"

No trolling, I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that yes, 20 dead kids is totally worth it as long as I keep my "right" to bear arms?

(The Patriot Act part got me somewhat confused tbh. It's my understanding that you had some freedom reduced so as to ensure the safety of the US. BUt don't want to get to into it because I admit I don't know the specifics).

We're comparing Video games.. to guns.. video games.. to guns.. Video games? To guns? :aicmon:

The United States has more school shootings than EVERY OTHER CONTINENT COMBINED. Why the fukk do you think this is? It certainly couldn't be our nonchalant attitude towards firearms, could it?

The problem is that the current gun laws AREN'T effective ! How many murders by guns in the US by year ?!
So yes, maybe try stricter laws to see what it does. There was an article saying that weapons sells increased dramatically in the region after the shooting in that cinema a few months ago, simply feeding the vicious circle again and again !

EDIT : It's actually the opposite for the drugs... Overly strict laws don't do nothing, but for the guns, it's overly permissive laws that don't do nothing...

How? If they had a gun to your head, how would having a gun have helped you. You mighta just got shot trying to reach for your gun.

Cuz when two random people that Ive never seen before come knocking on my door, I would have my handgun somewhere easily accessible. Not everyone knocks down your door. Some knock.

I'm not the type to categorize, but I also do think this the american mentality which is kinda at fault here :manny:

It's the main problem its so obvious and so ingrained in the american mind that it's put in writing in our constitution. Let's be serious for a second and admit there isn't 13 states, guns aren't muskets anymore, the king doesn't think we're rebels, and it's not 1776 anymore.

Thank you.. The constitution might as well be the bible at this point.. useless.

my solution is it should take a year to get a gun registered and purchased
during that period you gotta prove why you need that gun
if you cant nope

if you wanna protect yoself

man up get a knive, bow, taser, or learn how to fight

also its only a limited demographic that actually hunts animals

does that justify the need have widespread guns throughout the whole country?
