We need to start the conversation off with facts and not hyperbole. Misleading conversations with exaggerated claims doesn't help anyone.
Gun ownership in Switzerland is nowhere near 50% more like 25. Now while I think the governments of this world need to be kept in check there is no fucking way in hell I would want to live in the american system.
I think the above figure takes into consideration all of the weapons in Switzerland, including the ones as per the mandatory military service laws in the country.
& I beg to differ as far as starting the conversation with figures that raise eyebrows, what better way than this to get reactions, in particular those that disagree with my general liberal point of views that neither side of this "story" like to read.
LOGICAL approaches are never appreciated by extremists.
You will never convince extremists.
That may be true, but there are people with opinions, who can argue them and use logic rather than emotions.
I am overly satisfied that everyone who commented was cool, calm and collective.
This in itself shows a lot of positivism.
