No other country has anything like our second amendment, that I know of. No other country has ever been set up like our country. Most other country's are government controlled. Our country requires consent; therefore, the people are in control.
You cannot compare other country's to our country! There is NO comparison! We are unique! The further we get from our uniqueness, the closer we get to tyranny and craziness.
Folks, no one ever wants to see kids killed in cold blood. In fact, I may lose my faith, if it was one of my kids.
That said, the cultural degradation of our society, in whole, is as much to do with this happening as guns. If you really want to slow down this type of crappy event, then work in your local community to build a stronger relationship with those people. Speak truth to the degrading society! You all know what it is; now, it's on us to create a better community.
Thug life is bad! Racial minds are bad! Gender spectrums are bad! All these new ways of thinking, culturally, are bad!!!
This, along with other cultural degradations, are the root cause to the majority of this mess!! You all know it, now, just admit it!
first, we are unique indeed....our death by guns is very unique.
second, which communities are you wanting to talk to about these crappy events? Yours? Mine? Or just ones people typically say are the "bad ones" ? Because don't a lot of these mass killings come from people who don't look all that different likely from most of the posters on this board?
Now, hand guns in inner cities....sure, but again, its well established, we don't care (as a country). But we do care about when it happens in schools, shopping centers, work places, etc.
And are you really suggesting racial thinking is a "new way of thinking"? Its pretty clear that is what happened in Buffalo .....and that root cause is as old as time.
Other countries have much higher murder rates, and have draconian gun bans. They are murdering each other with knives, bats, and other means. Does an "evil" gun make a murder "worse" than if you are stabbed, strangled, or bludgeoned to death?
The United States has a relatively low homicide rate, compared to the rest of the world. And prior to the 1950s, it had a very low rate, even with a very high gun ownership rate.
Our
freedom is pretty unique. Most nations of the world don't even have freedom of speech. But the communist Left will also preach to us that our free speech rights and the First Amendment are "dangerous", because it allows all sorts of speech that Leftist snowflakes can't handle -- eg, "raycism", "misinformation", "conspiracy theories", etc.
