And you think that's the guns' fault? Heh!

Only if the fix was that easy.
Yes it is the gun fault, because all the mass shootings have involved guns, not lollipops.
And all the mass-murders have involved humans. Even before we had guns to do mass-shootings with.

You should consider moving to Switzerland. They have way more guns and way less crime/murder/violence than the UK.

I can answer. I don't want to.

That's how rights work.
So anyone has the right to kill anyone and rape anyone (so long as someone that has a gun doesn't impede them)?
So you don't understand how rights work.
You don't have the right to own an AR15 here, just as much as I don't have the right to rape your wife there.

Do i understand?

Good thing I care much more about being safe than feeling safe.

And which law (if broken) would be a victimless crime?

So you are equating ownership of an AR15 with rape?

OK, misanthrope.
Just equating rights.

Why do you think EVERYONE owning guns is not sensible?
Answer the fucking question.
No. Fuck you.

Make me answer it.
You can't answer it because you know it is irrational, not at all sensible to allow EVERYONE to own guns.

Then why doesn't the US take on Switzerlands example of reducing or elimininating crime/murder/violence?

I didn't.

Fuck this, your wife could probably do with a decent rape shag anyway..let her know I have the means if she can't be bothered to find a place to hide.

I'll be back with the same question tomorrow. :twisted:

Sure.

What did Switzerland do to reduce/eliminate those things?

It doesn't seem to me they even had that problem to start with.

When men and women became self taught Shaolin monks.

Ok, so why is there a problem in the US ..it's in the news daily, mass shooting almost happening on a daily basis now. Why?

Fuck knows. Why isn't a useful question.

"What can we do to stop it?" is a more useful question.

Good thing I care much more about being safe than feeling safe.
But you have absolutely no control over being safe anywhere or at anytime where-ever you are, or whatever you are doing. Just being alive is a huge risk, a risk we are all taking. Even as we reproduce, we are gambling with another persons safety and well being. We are our only predator, and yet we have no problem with that, because the proof is so self-evident everytime we reproduce, we willingly invite someone else to run the risky guantlet that is our predatory nature.

I guess we'll only stop when we have all had enough of the hurting we cause each other. So far, we seem to be fine with it, nothing seems to change much.
