So, Americans by far own the most guns in the world, per citizen. Source: trust me bro, and verified by just about everyone that has a brain. Why do you think that Americans feel the need to carry so much? Could the many acts of American gun violence not even taken place if the guns were not there in the first place? Are Americans really so stupid? What about the politicians? Should they allow such violence to continue?

"Buh...buhh..buhh...the 2nd Amendment..." The 2nd Amendment was written before all of the stupidity that has taken place. All of the school shootings. All of the mass murders. All of the killing sprees. All of the cops killed. All of the innocent lives taken. When the people are given instruments of death, they will use those instruments of death.

I think that this should be the way that Americans control their firearms problem. And yes, this is my opinion, but, I truly believe it do be one of the best opinions in regards to America's gun violence problem. Are you ready for this? Here we go...

Give them more guns. MORE GUNS. Every American citizen should have at least 5 guns. And why not? Let's give all of the wonderful immigrants both legal and illegal guns, too! IF America wants guns, AMERICA GETS MORE GUNS!!!! Now we turn the idiots against the idiots. Now we see the American dream as they truly want it. NOW WE SEE...THE MEATS!!!!

School shootings? They're not the only mass murder event. Guns aren't the only tool used in mass murders. So why are you trying to bubble-wrap the world as if to avoid looking for the common thread in these things? Most of the people involved are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crazy and on serious medications. And that's pretty common despite targets chosen, or tools used. Whining about guns is just a deflection.

There are 100 million or more gun owners in the US. If people "given an instrument of death will use that instrument of death" you'd have a ♥♥♥♥ ton more death than you actually have. Which is about 9,000 a year in a population of what? 350 million now? That's 0.002% of the people "with instruments of death" using them to harm innocents.

Advice... turn off the TV. Go worry about an issue that actually matters.

Because the only people who thinks there's some kind of tyranny in the US because Trump is in office are glued to the TV 24/7.

Yes you should give everyone a gun, as a deterrence.
Government give you the right to defend yourself, why not use it?

Funfact: You are 3x more likely to die from heat in Europe than a gun homicide in the USA.

Yet,despite that, the backwards Europeans refuse to join the first world and get air conditioners. How many people have to die, Europeans?

Dutchgamer1982 27 Jul @ 12:38pm

why stop at guns.. let them buy any military hardware.. attack planes, helicopters, missles, warships, heck why not nukes..

nevermind they are so prohabiltly expensive that only billionairs are large terrorist groups might own them.. with all the coup and fallour danger it causes;)

Well geeze, looks like you're right[worldpopulationreview.com]. I'm actually somewhat surprised that the U.S.A. has the most guns per-capita and I'll tell you why: The homicide rate, although relatively high for a country of such high status, is still far from the highest in the world[ourworldindata.org], or even just the Americas Just south of the border Mexico has 24.9 homicides per hundred thousand people despite a significantly lower ownership rate, whereas the U.S.A. only has 5.8. homicides per hundred thousand people. Russia has 7.8 homicides per hundred thousand people. 5.8 per hundred thousand is actually impressively low for the country with the highest rate of gun ownership. It's likely the country with the lowest number of homicides per gun! >_>

Granted, critically speaking, gun ownership rates in the U.S.A. are determined by the number of registered firearms, and that isn't necessarily going to be just one per person. Some people have private gun collections[www.thetimes.com].

Moreover, a majority of the gun related deaths are suicides.[publichealth.jhu.edu] Not mass shootings, nor armed robberies, nor gang related violence. Just people who are fed up with life and all of the trouble it causes them. In the U.S.A. if you're going to buy a gun to shoot somebody, it's probably yourself and while that is not a good thing, it is hard for me to say that it is some unmitigated evil in need of rectification. Not when The Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, France and Japan all have physician assisted suicide.[www.theguardian.com]

power = expensive, cause poweruse = slabbed with high co2 prevention tax

also we will use anything to cool outself EXEPT an AC
we pride outselves in not being like those ridiculous americans and their idiotic big cars and their stupid AC weaklings.. we don't need that.

you will find the sentiment against AC in europe is not unlike how americans think of going metric.
so america.. when will you go metric?

also while technically you are correct.. in that 750.000 people die from heat per year in europe..it is not the same.. may I look at the life expenstancy in netherlands vs usa.. the chance I get hit by traffic.. criminal violence.. or the chance I spend years in jail.
...

those who die from the heat.. are mostly very old weak people that if not dying from heat would have died anyway.. so you should actually look at "years of life lost"
so the number of people dying of a cause.. and the average life expentency they had left upon the moment of dying. to calculate the years of life lost number

thats far more intereting that a flat "x people die"

1 infant dying matters a lot more than 1000 old farts dying..

The 2nd Amendment was created during a time when all those killing sprees took place that you claim only happen now.

Consider the 2nd Amendment was created to include the use of cannons because pirates were very much a thing...and no this isn't the Disney-version of Pirates that break out into song and dance these were the pirates who would grape and pillage their way through life.

In modern times we just have a screwed up sense of reality.

Take school shootings we know how to protect these kids, because we protect rich kids and the Presidents or power politicians kids the same way...with good guys with guns.

Its pretty much any excuse to go against trump despite that people may not like him or his methods he is the only one using 'Ice' to actually detain illegals and criminals. They already tried removing firearms from civilians in parts of America and it only helped the cartels.

The Second Amendment was created to ensure the right of individuals to bear arms and to maintain a well-regulated militia, reflecting the Founding Fathers' concerns about government tyranny and the need for self-defense.

And cannons could actually be own by civies too but historically they where mainly owned by merchant shipping company's to protect their ships from pirates at that time. Some land civies did own cannons for celebrations but were largely gotten ride of due to cost and decay plus mismanagement.

Also the good guy with a gun? Too bad there were none of those in Texas of all places right? Uvalde texas and not a single good guy brave enough to do the deed. One of the reasons why I'm disappointed in Texas today.

Force a trade-in program with a deadline. 1 gun=1 sword. Cool, now blacksmithing is a trade again creating more jobs and there's kickass sword fights at waffle houses and baseball parking lots. Then reform government and legal structure to medieval period. Law enforcement now consists of kickass knights who follow chivalric code, court cases can be settled through combat replacing lawyers with instructors and polygamy is back. Then ban cars and replace all roads with dirt, temporarily reducing global foot print and pollution and give 1 horse per person once they're 12, creating more jobs to shovel ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Build moat around US to prevent illegal immigrants and foreign invaders.
