The states that let people buy guns from stores like you'd be buying bread require a permit and courses to be taken, like when you get a driver's license?
Of course, we should all get guns and shoot everybody that comes our way.
Your teeth are not straight, I don't like it - BAM - you're dead.
You sound like you watch a lot of old westerns and action movies. A lot of simple minded people judge countries based only on their portrayal in entertainment media.
People control is better. A guy with temper and other connected emotions might use it for personal gains.
It's odd to see people wearing guns aside from cops.
Because cops aren't people right? They have their tempers extracted at the police academy? I suppose that is why they had Michael Winslow there to make the temper extracting sound while they do it. Also police never use the threat of violence or actual violence for personal gains now do they?
http://www.cato.org/events/policing-profit-abuse-civil-asset-forfeitureSomewhere i read regarding number of people having guns in America and I found the amount of guns in america shocking, i think it needs to be reigned it because i have read about several high school massacres involving guns in america and we are yet to have one. its just my opinion but the rest of the world manage to 'protect their property' without such dangerous weapons.
So in short the entertainment media talks a lot about guns and a handful of rare mass shooting incidents in a nation of 300 million plus people ad nauseum, and it appears to be a critical problem to you from your seat in some far off land. Who asked you your opinion about our domestic laws in the first place? The rest of the nations of the world don't have 300 million people of differing cultures, religions, races, and ethnicities with the amount of freedom we do. You are comparing Mayberry To New York and pretending like they are they same place. I do respect you at least stated this is your OPINION though. That means there is hope for you yet. FYI. Mayberry:
