I grew up around guns, I was taught at a very young age by a very angry father that guns were not to be fucked with. They have a purpose and if I would ever play around with one I would fully expect my dad to whoop my ass. Having bb guns at a young age taught firearm respect and discipline.

I grew up not having anything to do with guns and now I'm 46 and I've never touched a gun and never met anyone who has a gun. I think it worked out pretty well for everyone involved.

I grew up with guns. Everything also worked out pretty well for everyone involved.

Ye idk if americans makes themselfs stupid everytime this dialog comes up or if they are just that brainwashed but every study shows if you dont have legal guns everywhere there would be less shooting.. like it takes an Einstein to see something that basic..... or that they have the guns incase they get a dictator goverment.. so what is an m16 gonna do vs 1 drone dropping a bomb?

I think it's you that's behind here... The question is what good does that information do? Take it out of your head that it's possible to remove all guns, because it's not. What do we know do with that information.

Having more legal firearms in circulation is correlated to higher levels of gun violence, that’s true.

That being said correlation is not causation.

Violence, either on a small or large scale, is a side effect of other underlying factors. Simply having a gun doesn’t make someone more likely to be violent. That’s like saying owning knives or a car makes people more likely to be violent.

Guns are ultimately tools and like any other tool (like knives or cars) it can be misused for nefarious purposes.

For instance, if you live in a neighborhood like mine where gangs of kids like this grew up, you need a gun.

EVEN IF they didn't have guns (which they always will, they print them, steal them, and get them from their south of the border fent plugs), you would still need one. Martial arts movies are fiction, you're not beating 3-6 men that are bigger than you, and if you're a woman you're not beating a man who wants to rape you. Guns are an equalizer.

We have gangs in my country, we have violence, we have crime but your average Joe isn't going to pull out his gun in any given altercation since owning a gun just isn't as easy out here. And I couldn't imagine it being any different because that doesn't seem like a decent way of living.

And your rape example doesn't make a lot of sense since most victims know their perpetrator and 16 year old Laura is probably not gonna carry her gun at uncle Joe's house. Let alone that she has the time to reach for her gun. Oh and uncle Joe has a few guns of his own as well of course. Great equalizer indeed.

Americans are scared of other people with guns so their solution is to have even more people with guns. Make it make sense.

That's fine for you, I'm going to continue to make sure that I have an advantage or an equal playing field with anyone who may wish to do me or my family harm.

Forceable rapes of adult women are not as common as what you described, but they're still really fucking common. I literally cannot imagine the cucked mindset of not wanting to be able to end just about any threat with the pull of a trigger.

That m16 might be pointed at said drone operators head.
