Get angry, any reason, job loss, taxes, abortion, election results, race, religion, insult, dissed, marriage, noisy parade, ptsd, grab a gun...kill Except that it doesn’t happen in our peer countries nearly as often as it happens here. Are you saying that Americans are just more angry and violent than people in other countries? We are inherently flawed and inferior to people like Canadians or the British?

Whether you support it or not many other countries have more control for nany decades, thus different culture. Not saying good or bad, just fact. England has had 2 mass shootings since 1958. Inferiority is a bad choice of words. It is cultural. Similar to genital mutilation. Americans find that awful. Cultural. But see 6 shot at parade as a risk they are willing to accept.

Not going to change. 6 deaths are acceptable, but genital mutilation is not. In somevdivueties it is acceptable. Think for once. Culture. Anger = killing by a small man with a big gun.

I wish they raised the minimum age to purchase any kind of gun until 21 but it's a start. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have not always fetishized guns. We have not always targeted gun ads at kids. We have not always framed the discussion of guns around fighting tyranny or even the second amendment. Guns used to be a tool to be used responsibly, not a status symbol or way of proving how tough or cool or patriotic you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) 4 hours ago, ChiGoose said: I would start with treating firearms the way we do cars: license and registration with competency tests. Requirements can be on a sliding scale based on actual lethality: strict on handguns, less strict on hunting long guns. Improved tracing for prosecuting straw gun purchases. Nationwide red flag laws. Requirements for safe storage. Repeal PLCAA. Raise the minimum age to 21. Magazine capacity limits. All logical except for repealing PLCAA. If it's legal to sell something you should be able to do so without fear of being held liable. I'd make an exemption for military members under the age of 21 though who've been trained on how to properly use assault weapons.

SCBills Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Two cops just shot in Philly during fireworks, plunging the festivities into chaos. I don’t even know what the answer is… I don’t own a gun, and am reluctantly open to some gun control, but this is clearly much deeper than that .. until the obsessively ridiculous “ban guns” crowd decides to look more inward as to what we have become, and are further becoming as a culture, nothing will change. This is societal decay. Edited July 5, 2022 by SCBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
