Strange, the rest of the modern world regulates guns just fine. I find it funny and telling you jump straight to banning. Considering we have lost close to one million American lives to gun death in the last twenty years outright banning them would be warranted. This is more American lives than every single conflict since WWII. Heavily regulated would be the minimum.

The rest of the modern world has safety nets, smaller civ populations, less diversity, and has way way less firearms in civ hands than the USA has ever had.

On top of that, as I stated before, 2/3rds of our firearm deaths are from suicides. Which shows that you don’t really care about the numbers, just that “guns r bad”.

I like how you hand wave close to 50,000 deaths a year from firearms. Oh just suicides, murders, and accidents? That makes it okay. I think you just don’t really care much for human life. Perhaps you’re just fatalistic or maybe just have extremely little regard for human life.

38-40k is our average, it’s not close to 50k at all. And yes, suicides happen, regardless of the tool used. Japan has a much higher rate of suicide than we do, and they have an effective complete ban in place of firearms. This tells you that it’s not the tool used. But fuck it. You don’t care because “guns r bad”

Did you know we are approaching 3,000 child deaths a year now? Compare this to Japan who has exactly zero child deaths per year. I find it strange people find this acceptable when it is only a problem in the US.

No…no we are not. More kids die from drowning than from firearms. It’s like 900+ a year. Firearm deaths for children is around 250

You seem to think that if we had a perfect society guns would not be a problem. This is farcical because we already have plenty of non-perfect societies that simply regulate the shit out of firearms.

Those non perfect societies you keep pointing out give a shit about their citizens.

Mexico has basically a full ban on firearms, same with Brazil. Prohibition does not work.

Once again you hand wave millions of instances of threats by guns every year. Hundreds of thousands of rapes are perpetrated by firearms. Literally millions of woman live under the threat of death by firearm. I think you are extremely naive about human nature and abusive relationships.

No they do not. And you’re assuming that rape isn’t going to happen when firearms are removed.

Go look and see how that’s working out for India which also has a ban on civ ownership of firearms, yet has a massive problem with rape.

We have entire communities that live under the threat of gun violence everyday. Maybe you’re not a big city kid who ducks or hides when a car backfires like tens of millions of your fellow Americans. It is hard to take you seriously when you seem blissfully unaware of this reality

Cool…wonder why that is? Is it because of the guns or because of the people in poverty?

Shit it’s like violence is there with or without the guns.

Finally, we get to the crux of your apparent lunacy in regards to guns: the 2nd fucking amendment. A passage that has been manipulated by corporations to allow the wholesale slaughter of Americans. Please name another amendment that allows for this much human suffering and death.

Uhh the fuck are you on about. The 2nd was not written for corporations…just stop

Sorry, but I refuse to let a piece of paper that is readily ignored (see current POTUS) to be used as a tool for corporations to continue to profit off of the destruction of our society. Let me ask you this. Just how many more guns do we need to solve our problems? We are already approaching a two to one ratio for every living man, women, child, and baby. Perhaps a three to one or maybe even a four to one ratio. Seems beyond ridiculous to me.

Wait, so you see the problem with this administration, and you want them to ban the ability for minorities to defend themselves…got it.

I don’t know where you are getting your thought process about guns from. Clearly you are missing or outright ignoring a ton of evidence. I suppose it is not surprising considering Congress has been cock blocking meaningful research into gun deaths for the last forty years now for their corporate masters.

No…no they haven’t. The CDC has produced tons of gun research. The block was set in place because the CDC decided to state they wanted to make the numbers show that “guns r bad”. Aka they had an agenda to drive. They %100 can do research, as can anyone else.

Simply put we have waged a war against our own society so corporations can continue to make record profits. I personally know several people who have died by firearms including my own brother. I don’t take this subject lightly and I don’t buy into the fetisation of guns.

I’m just reading you’re confusing corporate America with gun laws. This has nothing to do with them.
