Okay, some of what you're saying is a little over my head but let me see if I understand what you're saying. The original constitution that was made to protect the people of America no longer does what it was set out to do? You see yourself identifying more as an individual rather than a citizen and you also identify more within your state than the actual whole of America?
I do see your point with invalid legislation being made by people who do not represent their people properly. I have always had a problem with many laws that have been enacted by the few as they really don't help out the "people" the government would have you believe.
But back to the gun issue, you see it more as a necessity against the state? how do we prevent these mass shootings where many innocent people lose their lives?
We cannot prevent things like the rain, we can however prevent mass shootings. I refuse to believe otherwise. If we couldnt prevent them then mass shootings would be a worldwide epidemic and not just a mostly american problem.
If the the most lethal weapon on the market is a hunting rifle or a pistol, that is a large step towards preventing a mass shooting
Maybe it is just the American culture that has become this way
Does this happen in developed nations?
How do you explain the case of Australia after it's mass shooting in 1996 and subsequent ban on long guns? There has not been a single mass shooting since. That sounds to me like the Australian government took preventative measures.
Because supposedly America is a developed nation. You are talking about anarchy and things out of fictional tales.
Right, Australia still has problems, but what they don't have is a gun problem and that is the issue at hand in this discussion.
Do you really think that arming everyone to the teeth would create a peaceful and working society? DO you think you'd feel safe walking around at night knowing everyone is packing weapons in their pants. Do you think that countries where citizens don't own weapons are living in a police state?
