Some Perspective
What happened in Florida was completely disgusting and evil, my thought go to those families who has lost their loved ones.
The thing is, this is now the general theme when this happens, politicians are first on the news parroting their political party line. Which is that the government should impose stricter gun control laws, essentially asking that the evil acts of less than 0.1% affect everyone else. There are two points I would like to bring you attention to, which I find complexing.
The first point is that of the outcry from media and some political parties regarding the police, they are evil and racist and they should not have this power. Then at the same time they wants guns pretty much banned, thereby taking away the ability for citizens to protect themselves. So which is it? Either people have guns to protect themselves from everyone including the cops, which is the government, or only the government gets to have guns and protects everyone? You unfortunately can't have both.
"This battle for 'common-sense' gun control laws pits emotion and passion against logic and reason. All too often in such a contest, logic loses. So, expect more meaningless, if not harmful, 'gun control' legislation. Good news - if you're a crook." - Larry Elder
Then point two is, let's compare America to say South Africa as a example.
In the States about 88% of people own guns, in SA only 2% of the population owns guns. Guns are really hard to get a hold of here and the laws make it next to impossible to do. Now let's compare gun death statistics, the USA has 7500 people killed by guns each year excluding suicides. Here in the rainbow nation 9800 people are killed guns each year, oh and I should probably mention that America has about 280 million more people than South Africa. Apart from being the rape capital of the world, South Africa has about 54 murders a day, and in 60% of those a gun was used, 95% of the time it was an illegal gun.
But some how it is going to work, maybe the problem is not the guns, but the people.

I think that a lot of the violence that we see here in America is because of economics. Back in the 80's we had lots of gangs, shootings, etc., and things got better as economic conditions got better. If you look at where a lot of the murders are in the US they are in the hard hit economic areas. Unfortunately I think the violence here is going to worsen if the markets start to turn lower. But, I am glad the we have the ability and the right to defend ourselves here and our loved ones if need be.
I think every person should have the right to defend themselves, its the basis of human rights. I have that right here, but unfortunately lack to tools to do so.
I was just thinking about what I would do in south africa. The thing is, you can't stop guns if people want one. You could simply get a 3-d printer and download the cad file for whatever works for you and print it out or just make one from components at the local plumbing supply. The problem when they ban these guns is that they only ban them for law abiding citizens. I've watched a few police ride along shows from south africa and it is certainly better to be with than without over there, especially with economic conditions worsening.
You have permission to defend yourself in certain circumstances. If you try and defend yourself from police robbery you will probably either die or go to jail for a long time.
You can blame economics or even blame black people but regardless we need some major reforms in America. I don't think paying irresponsible people to have babies and do drugs is a recipe for success.
Congratulations!
Awesome!! what did I win?
Please let it be a kitten!
Funny 😂
For me it is kinda scary how easy it is to get a gun in America. See below is a video from a scene from the documentary Bowling for Columbine that shows how Michael Moore opens a bank account and gets a complimentary gun when he opens the bank account at the given bank.
thats really funny.. the meme is right
