We are actually in agreement
But choosing not to kill is a very easy thing to do.
You say its a fantasy to not shoot people. How so? The only other places where these mass shooting happens are in war zones and terrorists zones. That's the company America keeps. How is it a fantasy when a good chuck of the world live it as a reality. Do you just mean it is a fantasy to an American? Because if so, tell them to leave, move to another country and their fantasy can be a reality.
I'm sure someone thought of your idea already, centuries before the US was even discovered.
your right, we can probably find lots of countries were the citizens don't feel the need to kill each other.
When people speak of other nations that have very few homicides by firearms each year, it's generally toward countries that have stricter gun control laws, despite having similar "rights" in their bill of rights. It's harder to obtain a legal firearm and the citizens of those nations don't have a desire to carry a concealed weapon as if its a God given right.
I suggested making it harder by requiring military training. You refused that too.
It's a typical sense of entitlement simply due to a 230 year old document, written in a time when such atrocities. such as children on school shooting sprees, were not the forefront of society.
Sure they were, America has been constantly at war.
Thousands upon thousands of Americans die each year as a result of hanging on to this outdated BS and and yet Americans are scratching their heads as to why and how to reduce it?
Plenty want to change it. Problem is, they are not united. America still suffers north vs south, left vs right.
Maybe one day they will, but probably not, not until it is so bad that people start en mass moving away from America.
I'm not against guns ownership at all, I'm not against protecting one's property, loved ones or person, with enough force to stop the threat (in which case shooting any intruders often doesn't play a role at all).
Tasers are more fun anyways.
In Canada it is actually illegal to shoot someone that is invading your home. Americans use this as an example to why having guns is good. But the fact is, the home invasions rarely happen, and instances where people are killed are even rarer. Of course, I would still shoot the attacker dead if I had the opportunity.
I just don't like cowboys and gun toting clowns that are so ignorant and irresponsible that they can't recognize the problem beyond whining about the left wing in the process.
It seems like a good chunk of Americans fall into this category.
