...........this mentality in the US where it seems that you are living in the wild west and you need to defend yourself. Defend your property, defend your family, defend your life. From what, for fucks sake? I think what you need to defend yourself and your society from is that obsession with guns and violence. There is some special olympics shit going on with the so-called "libertarians"... Just check that stupid gif in the post above. They compare the US with Israel, which is occupied territory and a warzone (*facepalm*), and where there are still school shooting episodes, even if rarer than it he US. Why don't those guys compare the US with Italy, Belgium, Spain, Greece.... Where no one is armed in schools, and no school shooting has ever happened? That should be the model, doesn't it?
Some of us in the USA live pretty close to war zones. The US / Mexican border.
I mentioned El Paso earlier. Juarez is the Mexican city across the border, basically the two are one society with a border in the middle.
So you REALLY WANT to talk about violence?
I don't think so.
Google Juarez+women+murder, please
Then report back.
