Should we in America accept that our society is uncurably feral & uncivilized?
America is a nation contaminated with a significantly higher percentage of psychopathic screwballs than any other so called advanced country on the planet.
This self-evident truth is why we all need guns to protest ourselves especially when the Liberal controlled city councils maliciously and callously defund the police.
The citizens of these leftist hellhole towns and cities are pretty much on their own when it comes to being protected against violent crime, especially in the likes of Seattle where the police have declared that due to drastic defunding, crimes of a sexual nature such as rape will be caterorized as ''lowest prioroty''.
Yes, we need to come out of denial and recognize that we all need to carry authorized personal protection weapons due to the relatively high volume of deranged lunatics and religious fanatics within our society.
America is the only democratic country among the nations of the free world where citizens need to possess lethal weapons to protect themselves from crazed/drugged-up assassins and/or religious zealots wandering freely around the streets of our towns and cities.
Good post, except you've cast your net too widely.
You should have been more definitive and attested that, unlike most other developed nations we do not live in a Utopian society ( as no such a society exists, no one does) and this is why its citizens need lethal weapons to protect ourselves.
To quote just a few of the nations whose citizens don't need to carry deadly firearns to protect themselves must indicate the depth of violence which exits here in the U.S.A.
Germany,
France,
Sweden,
England,
Scotland,
Ireland,
Hungry,
Poland,
Finland,
Japan,
India,
China,
Brazil,
Argentina,
Spain,
Portugal,
Italy,
Austria,
Australia,
New Zeal and,
Vietnam,
Peru,
Russia,
Denmark.
SO, IN AMERICA WE NEED PERSONAL PROTECTION WEAPONS BUT THE CITIZENS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED NATIONS, AND MANY-MANY MORE, DO NOT.
It does. It tells me that liberal areas, where most gun deaths happen, force us to need guns. If we lived in countries where they didn't teach wokeness, celebrate crime, and let the borders go unchecked for violent criminals, we might not need so many guns. But, as long as leftist policies are dangerous, and they are, we need our guns. You also left out that in America, millions live in rural areas that are police-less. You also left out that in some of those countries, it's the government known for killing its people with guns, which isn't reported as gun homicides. China and others' governments would probably behave better if their populations were armed to the teeth.
Yeah, some valid points there, but the ommissions to which you referred are commonplace in most, of not all of the countries I cited.
In France for instance there are many regions where there are no police stations whatsoever, while in rual areas of the U.K., and Ireland a single ''Bobby'' may have to police three or four villages on his bicycle.
The fact remains that of all the western democracies America is the only free nation where deadly violence is so widespread and severe that its citizens HAVE TO CARRY FIREARMS.
Like I said, we'll have to come out of our state of denial and recognize that we live in a country of deep-rooted violence the reasons for which are manifold and complex, so we sure ain't going to find a solution by next weekend.
Don't forget to clean your gun(s) while you're trying to seal the cracks in America's crumbling society.
so widespread and severe that its citizens HAVE TO CARRY FIREARMS.
Only in America do we have millions of unknown people illegally crossing our borders with the intent of joining gangs and selling illegal firearms. Your entire point is an example of left wing policies failing in a country with a massive border to protect.
It doesn't matter how you try to rationalize our awful position or apportion blame for the mess we're in, we in AMERICA are where we are because of AMERICANS.
It doesn't matter how you try to rationalize our awful position or apportion blame for the mess we're in, we in AMERICA are where we are because of AMERICANS.
The countries you listed tend to strongly endorse Christianity or have no border for guns to sneak across by the millions. The American left strongly endorses violence, looting and criminal behavior. If not for the American left, a right wing America would be more generally safe like it was when it 2as more conservative. With the American left, no one is safe, so we stay armed.
Well, the enormous harm with which the lefties and Liberal/wokes have crippled America is the point I'm trying to make and one which you have picked up on.
Problem;- The Leftist Democrats either don't know the damage they're doing or feel it is worth it to achieve the goals of their Marxist/Lenonist ideologies.
Human beings can only handle so much reality and Americans are no different to the rest of humanity.
We're the most violent, and volitile Western nation, and we have a national debt of around $28 trillion.
unlike most other developed nations we do not live in a Utopian society ( as no such a society exists, no one does) and this is why its citizens need lethal weapons to protect ourselves.
Hello N:
I'm a bit confused.. You say we NEED guns because we DON'T live in a utopian society, and then you list a bunch of society's that AREN'T utopian either, but they DON'T NEED guns..
If you were educated you would know that there is no such a place as Utopia.
Utopia is a mythical place or state in which everything is perfect and, just like the imagined Utopia there is no such a condition as perfection.
BEING CONFUSED IS YOUR FORTE, SO DON'T BREAK THE MONOTONY OF A LIFETIME AND STAY IGNORANT.
The point most intelligent people would have comprehended was that the previously mentioned nations have been able to create environments sufficiently law abiding for their respective populations to be able to go about their everyday business without the necessity of carrying firearms like the old Wild West.
Not here in The United States of Assassins.
Please continue making an idiot of yourself and keep poting, it's great fun reading your drivel.
create environments sufficiently law abiding for their respective populations to be able to go about their everyday business without the necessity of carrying firearms like the old Wild West.
Some of these governments kill their own people en masse with guns. Disarming them didn't help them there genius.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.. I'd be THRILLED if the Russian citizens revolted.. I'd be THRILLED if the Chinese citizens revolted.. I'd be THRILLED if the Taiwanese citizens revolted.. I'd be THRILLED if ANY populace living under a dictator, REVOLTED..
I'm not sure how ANY of this relates to anything..
I'm not against revolution, but it's gonna take a LOT more than AR-15's.
If you, the right wing, can bring enough fire power to WIN on the battlefield, then that's how countries are made. If you win, we could call the new country Rednekia.
Excon, civilian revolt in China would be a bloodbath. You want more bloodshed?
Excon, to be clear, yiu want the USA to ban guns, however you want the USA to send guns abroad to places like Ukraine. And as far as your "Rednekia" comment, the worst problem with gun violence in the USA is black on black gun warfare in our cities.
previously mentioned nations have been able to create environments
And now most murders there are done with other weapons. England banned guns, and now they have a homicide by knife problem, and the number of violent crimes has increased.
Nothing you have posted addresses that illegal guns are everywhere in the US due to lax border control, that America is the most gang ridden country on Earth, and that much of America lives nowhere near a police force. Leave it to the left to create a gun problem then demand its citizens disarm by stating there are more guns, thus more gun murders. There are more gangs and guns due to leftist policies. That's not an argument to disarm the innocent but to arm them for their own safety. If you live in a safer country, the odds are it doesn't have gangs, guns and illegals pouring across its borders like we do.
The left allowing 33,000 gangs and millions of illegal guns pouring across the border as the left rejoices doesn't make your point you moron. It's literally why the individual needs a gun in the first place. To protect against the millions of illegal guns the left manifests into America at the Southern border that always go to criminals. Most violent criminals aren't sporting a legal gun. They are sporting an illegal gun that the left allowed them to get in merican left.the first place. We aren't going to disarm just because the left is too stupid to keep illegal guns out of America. If any country on your list had millions of unregistered guns flooding across it's borders, they'd have the same problem. They apparently aren't as stupid as the American left.
Clearly you can't read and also have difficulty in writing.
Did you contract one of the more severe brain damaging venereal diseases from your whore mother at birth or did one of her clients infect you with syphilis while bum fucking you?
The whole point of my thread you brainless fuck was that AMERICA IS A LAWLESS SOCIETY AND THIS CONDITION IS BEING EXACERBATED BY THE LEFT WING SCUMBAGS ENCOURAGING THE DREGS OF THE FAILED NATIONS OF THE WORLD TO PILE OVER OUR BORDER IN THEIR MILLIONS, AS WELL AS DEFUNDING OUR POLICE..
Your juvenile ranting isn't going to change the status-quo.
Use whatever is left of your diseased brain and read my thread as well as my ensuing posts in their entirity and unless you're mind has been eroded past the point of no return you will note that I am blaming the worsening of our intrinsic violent crime rate on the leftists.
It doesn't matter how you look at it shithead, AMERICA is in the state its in due to AMERICANS.
It's we AMERICANS who opened the flood gates for the disease ridden criminal filth to stream across our borders in their millions.
It was 81 million AMERICANS who voted the imbecile Joe Biden and his left wing puppet-masters into power and gave them the reins with which to destroy the structure upon which our nation was founded, and hitherto had flourished.
IT WAS 81 MILLION AMERICANS WITH ''MAD-DOG'S SHIT'' FOR BRAINS WHO HAVE WRECKED AMERICA.
America was a violent nation pretty well from its conception but with the Liberal's madcap policy of swamping the country with the dregs of the failed states of the world this epidemic has turned into a pandemic which the Democrats are exacerbating with their COME-ALL-YE ideology.
THE FACT THAT DUE TO NECESSITY FIREARMS ARE HERE TO STAY IS AN INDICTMENT ON AMERICA AND SOMETHING WE SHOULD ALL BE THOROUGHLY ASHAMED.
But even though the leftists did dramatically exacerbate this shameful feature of our society there is no escaping the fact that 81 million American citizens voted for the Democratic wrecking ball and its ONE MAN DOOMSDAY MACHINE.
All the democratic free nations I mentioned in my previous post have brought violent crime down to an acceptable level of control meaning that their citizens DO NOT HAVE TO CARRY PERSONAL PROTECTION WEAPONS.
EVEN IN NORTHERN IRELAND AT THE HEIGHT OF THE SO CALLED ''TROUBLES'' WITH THE BACK-SHOOTING I.R.A., COMMITTING ATROCITIES EVERY DAY DID THEIR CITIZENS HAVE TO CARRY FIREARMS AS A MATTER OF COURSE.
Compared to every other western country in the world, the USA is a very violent country. The reason is, that for over 150 years the US entertainment industry has glorified violent characters and violent, revenge seeking behaviour. Today that same media still glorifies loners bent on violent personnel revenge, as well as criminal behaviour generally It presents drug taking behaviour, violence against women, hired murderers, , car thieves, graffitti "artists", and school shooters, as action movie heroes, to low status young males with low IQ's.
Next, is has a preponderance of ethnicities who are noted in every western country for having a far greater propensity to a low mean IQ than other races, as well as a genetic proneness to violent behaviour. Although, western countries everywhere are trying to close the gap between the USA and themselves in this respect with their own immigration laws.
Toss in firearm laws, which are so lenient that even people diagnosed with serious mental conditions and on medication for it, can easily obtain firearms, and the fact that even the most violent criminals can easily obtain bucketfuls of the most lethal weapons imaginable, and of course the USA will be a violent country.
And it will remain so. The reason being, that the need to reform all of these three factors is opposed by special interest groups who always try to point the finger at the other factors, but will never consider sublimating their own self interest on behalf of the common good.
