WTF Is Going On In This Country?

3. Lots of guns don?t necessarily mean lots of shootings, as you can see in Israel and Switzerland.*

As David Lamp writes at Cato, ?In Israel and Switzerland, for example, a license to possess guns is available on demand to every law-abiding adult, and guns are easily obtainable in both nations. Both countries also allow widespread carrying of concealed firearms, and yet, admits Dr. Arthur Kellerman, one of the foremost medical advocates of gun control, Switzerland and Israel ?have rates of homicide that are low despite rates of home firearm ownership that are at least as high as those in the United States.??

*Correction: The info is out-of-date, if not completely wrong. Israel and Switzerland have tightened their gun laws substantially, and now pursue an entirely different approach than the United States. More details here. I apologize for the error.

9. States with stricter gun control laws have fewer deaths from gun-related violence.

Last year, economist Richard Florida dove deep into the correlations between gun deaths and other kinds of social indicators. Some of what he found was, perhaps, unexpected: Higher populations, more stress, more immigrants, and more mental illness were not correlated with more deaths from gun violence. But one thing he found was, perhaps, perfectly predictable: States with tighter gun control laws appear to have fewer gun-related deaths. The disclaimer here is that correlation is not causation. But correlations can be suggestive....

Really. You can do a lot worse than educate yourself with some facts.

Yeah it has nothing to do with stricter gun laws everywhere else but here.

Look I have no problem with someone having a gun in their house but seriously how can you not question a system that allows an obvious mentally ill 20 year old legally purchase all these weapons.

Um, he killed his mom and used her guns, they were registered to his mom, you are not too smart :facepalm: Or illiterate

once again, are the fucking specifics really needed when you talk about the fact she owned an assault rifle?

why does she need an assault rifle? got an answer? nobody else here does!

Seriously?

Does it not concern you what happened today?

Hey not sure if you noticed or not but I did not know that he stole the guns from his mom. The last I had heard was that the weapons were his. I misspoke and because of this mistake I now realize that there is not a gun problem in this country.

Shew.

Problem solved.

And again I will ask why are you fucking trolling and trying to get this thread moved?

What does the video have to do with the 20 dead children?

You have kids, did this story not get to you in anyway?

I don't have any kids but I gotta think if I was a parent I would have had a hard time with today.

wondering myself why and all our answers will come soon enough. I think I'll look if pictures appear of inside this building. My final thought tonight is my thoughts are with those who are suffering to move on after today......:facepalm:
