I don't live in fear, either, not even fear of being considered an a hole
I know guys who wear their pants down like that
I don't really like it, but the ones I know seem decent enough
The folks I know who carry seem decent enough too

After this post, we are talking violent crime, not just gun violence, which is a more honest way to look at the issue

which is one reason why comparing countries to other countries as a shining example of gun control working is comparing apples to corn flakes
And I dunno about the FBI, but my state calls assault assault, you can use physical force, within reason, for any and all of the offenses you say England reports but the FBI doesn't, so I'd guess they are reported as crimes, too
But I didn't start that line of duiscussion

Might not be a case of 'gun-ownership' as more a case of 'gun-mentality' that is more significant, maybe. Who know's?

Our culture is young and sprung up well after knights and swords.
What is called entertainment in America has been violent.
I don't know what it's like other places,but our society makes a big deal over people who kill a buncha people or dominate on the football field.
We glorify war and Our law allows for the imagery of death and killing on all kindsa stuff. Games,TV,movies, the worse it is,the more it gets on the news. The value of life is ,IMO,diminished in the eyes of the people.
Expressing that lack of respect and caring about life is easy
With a gun.

Of course, I have no experience or understanding of other societies that have guns yet less violence.
Don't forget about the socio-economic pressures, the government created drug wars, lotsa variables.

Appears that blew up the internet..

That was the point

I don't CARE. I Simply do not CARE. The Reason for that second amendment is clear, its not about hunting, The point is not debatable. Shall we just step up and argue about how often I can post?
