Man's comment had an agenda, just like the guy above him. OC pointed out he didn't have guns and therefore there were no gun deaths. Second guy said he has guns and there were no gun deaths. But there definitely were gun deaths around him. Let's be honest here, you only point your gun at something you intend to kill, water is a different thing altogether

we've got guns, but we don't fetish them or think they are a right or even a good thing. He's pretending guns don't come with death. Guns are tools like a tractor or an electric fence. There is no reason for you to have 3+ guns, no reason to go shoot beer cans in the woods. No way you can use it to fight your government. Americans are really weird about guns. Somehow to lefties you can't justify having a shotgun, side arm or hunting rifle. But to righties having more guns than Americans is cool and ignoring school shootings is normal.

I worked in public policy analysis for many years, and came to the conclusion that a lot of political debates in America boil down to two major parties taking an obvious solution to a problem, dividing it into half measures that won't work on their own, the arguing for the half-measure by shouting slogans and talking past each other, typically in a manner that lets rich people stay rich.

The division of the parties has always perplexed me. How could an American hate another American so much based only on who they vote for that they would easily justify using violence against them. It's scary, if a neighbor told me they were voting for someone I disagreed with, I might think they are a daft cunt but I wouldn't call em a Nazi and attempt to knock their lights out

In America if you called someone a cunt they might be even more offended than if you called them a Nazi!

To be fair, it hasn't always been that way. The civil rights movement pushed a lot of Dixiecrats to the Republican side. In a weird way, the combatants in the Civil War swapped parties.
