It's why I fucking love America. No dying at the hands of crimminals when you have the means to defend yourself and property.

I kindof like Japan with the likelyhood of getting shot being same as getting hit by lightning

[–]Immortal131 [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

If you are not in a gang or break into other peoples houses in America your chances are the same as in Japan. Don't buy into the media hype train, there are far less murders in today's America than any other time in the nations history.

i'm pretty sure gun related death count in US has been very high for a very long time. like tens of thousands per year. and i'm quite sure it has something to do with guns

You would be quite correct. There has also been a explosion of gun violence since the gun was invented. Whats your point? A "high" rate of gun violence does not mean you are at risk on a regular basis.

My point about the media hype train is in reference to the fact that the media likes to sensationalize the issue of gun violence to the absurd. Tracking gun violence is identical to tracking shitty human behavior but only choosing events that involve guns to make it appear that guns are to blame. American culture is to blame for gun violence although nobody in power has the political means to survive saying it.

I think America could use some common sense laws (not stupid shit like magazine limitation and full auto bans) like competency requirements and background checks to keep the simply untrained and legitimate crazies from owning weapons. But once again the glorious polarization of America's culture has one force fighting for the complete abolishing of guns (because banning drugs worked so well) and the complete acceptance that literally everyone should be allowed to own whatever they want.

Its the culture, not the stupid metal machines we use for various purposes.

like tens of thousands per year.

Usually around 20,000 to 30,000 depending on the year.

Which always counts suicide (which is a small portion of the means by which people kill themselves) , justified homicide (the worst case scenario where your life likely depended on being armed) , gang related incidents ( a definition taken to broadly sometimes but generally legitimate) and accidents. The remaining fraction (legitimate murders and victims of gun violence) is usually drastically lower than accidental deaths by other means.

Suicide and gang related violence will occur regardless of gun violence and you want people armed for a legitimate homicide (how do you think this gif would have ended if they all have knifes? Let me tell you, 3 v 1 and that store-owner is dead).

You're also more likely to be sexually assaulted or raped in Japan. They're also very racist.

can't forget Australia, after port Arthur it was like yeah nah not doing that again

[–]nate800 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Except for the part where the murder rate went up in some places...

[–]Blackhawk1994 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Who gives a shit, across the board homicide, murder and suicide rates have gone dramatically down and have stayed down.

The fact that Americans kill more Americans in gun related violence than terrorism is shameful.

For a country that prides it self on "Christian values" you seem to have forgotten to love thy neighbor

Stop smoking what the gun lobby is giving you, because to the rest of the world you look nuts

[–]whatwhynope 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

Yeah, not surprised that country would just roll over and give up their rights.

[–]Wustapen [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

You want violence to go back up? What's wrong with you?

[–]Blackhawk1994 -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

It was never a right. And thank fuck. I get to sit here in a land that is girt by sea and not have to worry about having a gun pulled on me. I'll tell you the amount of money that has saved me is truly gratifying

The criminals often also have the means.

[–]ModernPoultry 9ポイント10ポイント  (7子コメント)

And they always will. Extreme gun control worked great for Australia because its so isolated. With Mexico always being a neighbour guns will always be attainable for criminals

[–]Noodle36 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Actually a LOT of criminals have guns in Australia. Handguns are pretty fucking easy to smuggle.

[–]darshfloxington 1ポイント2ポイント  (4子コメント)

Uh....most of Mexico's guns are legally bought in the US.

[–]Studman96 5ポイント6ポイント  (3子コメント)

Cause that's how the market flow is right now. Much more plentiful here. If there were high demand for illicit weapons in america (moreso than that of mexico), they would provide. Just look at the drug industry.

[–]darshfloxington 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

They have much stricter gun control laws and all of the manufacturers are in the US. Most illegal weapons would be smuggled in from Eastern Europe or Asia.

[–]Studman96 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yes, but they would most likely come through Mexico. Like I said, look at the drug trade, there are already established routes and procedures, origin doesn't matter as much in the long run, they're always gonna come from somewhere. And Mexican police forces are much more easily paid off

[–]sdfghs 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Mabye because the US fucked up Mexico like they did in other countries

[–]underthingy 0ポイント1ポイント  (4子コメント)

It's why I love Australia, gun laws mean shit like this doesn't happen.

[–]Umutuku 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Gun laws prevent the use of automobiles to break security doors so multiple people can attempt to run through and overpower someone?

[–]underthingy -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Apparently.

Either that or Americans are all violent criminals. You probably should blame the lack of gun control.

[–]whatwhynope 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

You don't seem to know anything about Australia or laws. Laws don't stop things from happening. People break laws all the time, cupcake.

Australia is trash. A safe haven for racists.

[–]Wustapen [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Your point is that laws are not effective so we shouldn't bother? You're an idiot.

[–]scurvydog-uldum 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

was this america? i would have guessed brazil.

[–]Shamic 1ポイント2ポイント  (4子コメント)

Thats rediculous. yes, some people would die from not being able to defend themselves, but the major reduction in mass shootings would outweigh that negative.

[–]whatwhynope 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

You should try think for yourself instead of parroting what other people say. Mass shootings are done by sick people, not sentient guns.

[–]Shamic 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yes I know that. But if you make it harder for sick people to get guns then that reduces shootings a lot. Just look at australia, they havent had a mass shooting in ages. Sure, our laws are a bit to tight, but people dont ever think about a mass shooting here. I'm not saying to ban all guns, I'm just saying there needs to be more regulations. And I mean you cant say america doesnt have a gun problem. Thousands of people die each year, and you hear about mass shootings very regularly. it's something that needs to be dealt with. Yes I also realize criminals will always get access to guns, but those depressed, psycho kids that shoot up schools, if there parents didnt have guns they wouldnt be able to kill people as efficiently. And they wouldnt bother trying to get one illegally.

[–]whatwhynope -2ポイント-1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Everytime people "debate" this, you anti-gun nuts always parrot the same things even when proven wrong.

If you help sick people get treatment and remove the stigma of mental health, you don't need to ban any guns. Don't try to pretend the majority aren't 100% for making sure crazy people don't get guns.

Don't use Australia as a comparison. It's nowhere near the same situation. How do you know what people think about doing in Australia? You don't need to own a gun or have access to one to think about shooting people you fucking nut.

America doesn't have a gun problem, we have a criminal problem. You continue to demonstrate that you're woefully uneducated on this subject, so please stop parroting and talking out of your ass. Analyze the kinds of people being killed by guns and you'll stop parroting that ridiculous garbage. Mostly criminals.

Please educate yourself and stop parroting. It's easier to buy a gun illegally than to steal one from your parents, and to steal the key to the gunlock kiddo.

Seriously, you need to learn to think for yourself and decide for yourself. Don't parrot everything the far, far left says.

[–]Wustapen [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

All you are doing is parroting what the far far right often says. America has gun issues. All you have to do is look at the rest of the world. Of course you can compare us to other 1st world countries.

[–]onomatochiapet -1ポイント0ポイント  (2子コメント)

For sure. Not to mention all the awesome mass shootings and all those times toddlers have blown their own fucking heads off.

America. What a great fuckin country.

Who deluded you into believing that happens often? More kids have drowned in your country this year than toddlers have ever killed themselves with a gun in America. You're going to ban water, right?

America: the reason you don't speak German, Japanese or Russian.
America: the country everyone turns to for help.

Don't cut yourself on all that edge.

He says after saying:

Are you some kind of living experiment in irony? Or just a moron?

[–]onomatochiapet -2ポイント-1ポイント  (1子コメント)

USA #1 (in the number of toddlers who have fucking shot themselves you god damn moron).
