General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: In the last 5 months there have been at least 71 kids killed by guns. Average just under 6 years old [View all]Gun crime in the U.S. is 7 times that of Canada, yet Canada has NOT (repeat: has not) banned guns. Are Canadians somehow more responsible than Americans? Do they not play the same video games and watch the same movies? Do they not have gangs and drugs? (Despite what people might think, drugs are just as illegal in Canada as they are in the United States). Do they not have people who are mentally ill?
Or could it be that they have SANE GUN LAWS and no bullshit second amendment to block those laws from existing?
You can't even admit that there's a problem. 71 dead kids, and you can't even admit that there's a problem. You talk about cars and swimming pools and everything else. You talk about how 71 dead kids is "such a small percentage" like it's nothing. You talk about gangs and inner cities and the drug war and pretend like there's nothing racist hiding behind those statements. You talk about "people like me", and tell me to "enjoy my stay" like this is NOT a liberal website and like you're NOT the minority here and like your ways, where it's perfectly OK and normal to give a 5 year old a gun as a birthday present have NOT been a driving force behind the gun culture that has resulted in thousands upon thousands of people who die and are injured behind the barrel of a gun year in and year out.
We're right, you're wrong. The facts prove it. Can't accept that? Tough. It's PEOPLE LIKE YOU who enable this shit to continue. We're not the ones who need to change our minds, you are.
