Unarmed people killed under Josef Stalin, twice, also in Ukraine, Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong or Red Khmer, etc.

How much blood should the "monster pacifists" have before they realize the best democracy is the one where many are relied upon for justice, honesty, anti-corruption and human rights? Whether they are "monster pacifists" by idiocy or other is beyond me.

Note on the glaring connection of cowards against guns to the populations and Atheism and socialism and communism, in the most unholy union known to human kind!

Every man should be Chuck Connors.

I think we should establish a much stronger democracy with much weaker gun control, and under favourable circumstances everyone will commit suicide by gun, thus ending the gun violence once and for all, proving the red Bolshevik Marxist-Leninist communist punk pinko pussies wrong.

I didn't know Pussy Riot had an opinion on this subject.

Pussy riot: is that the "me too" movement?

Also, why don't altar boys and hockey- and football camps where the junior athletes are trained, have a "me too" movement?

I'm sure some hockey coaches are doing time.

They should! Maybe they needed the females to lead the way?

WHY ARE SO MANY children and women sexually abused by men? What is wrong with such men that they can't control themselves from such hideous behavior? Even when they are men of God... parading around proudly in their "holy" robes! How is it that so many can accept themselves being abusers -- and then many of those preach of morality? Many of their male peers seem to excuse it too. Do any males on this forum have insight to respectfully respond from an intelligent male perspective?

Lack of empathy, and they think they can get away with it. Or, they perversely think that children can consent. We know they can't.

Thanks for your thoughtful response! If you were female, what would you do about it and/or what do you think women SHOULD do about it? I can hardly wait for your answer.

Thing is, the US's gun laws are acting effectively as an experiment.

The rest of the world is watching this experiment.

What the rest of the world notices is an unhappy and divided nation, whose warring tribes hate each other more than they despise their nation's enemies, with a gun murder rate far beyond any other developed nation, with far higher rate of incarcertion than other comparable cultures. They see a callous nation that does not care for its poor and vulnerable, that goes on violent military expeditions.

None of this is appealing. Calling people "idiots" because they see serious flaws in the US model is about as sophisticated an approach as the US's Evangelist Christians can usually manage. If the Repubs lose Congress in November, there could be some good old fashioned Christian violence on the streets as per their führer's recent dog whistle to them.

I've been predated upon by men as well, Lacewing. And I'm aware of the constant sexualizing by men of women. I feel quite bad for women's plight in this. But I don't have an answer to it. Either one empathizes with women, or one doesn't, or cant care. I'm single because I don't want to make women uncomfortable, knowing what they go through on a daily basis. I would prefer to be alone than to be part of the problem women have to deal with. I'd rather be able to live with myself, and sleep peacefully at night, than to hurt women or children.

Empathy is key to solving things though. But many don't have it, or it's underdeveloped.

Thanks (again) for your thoughtful answer. Yes, it is hard to know what to do. If women speak up or fight against it, it seems they are beaten down more -- accused of terrible things. It's vicious. There are lots of good, aware, honorable men, though -- which is what puts the other men to shame, and highlights the higher capability of men. It just seems like people need to learn to master themselves! I don't know how that occurs, other than through evolution. Dangerous world in the meantime.

If you cannot trust your behavior, then it is very honorable to protect others from that. But if you are in control of yourself, and a respectful and good person, then it would seem a shame not to be able to share that with someone and expand the potential for joy in life... so don't give up on that. We humans seem to be evolving at lightening speed right now. Or maybe that's just my wishful thinking. Whatever the case... there's always more we can learn to be and experience during the course of our life.

I wonder how people gain empathy? If it's something a person must be born with, or if there's a way to instill it in them?

Stupidest post for a long time. All of those people were totalitarian dictators. ONE person. Gun ownership by the population wouldn't have made a smidgen of a difference. They were worshipped as God. Who wants to take up arms against God?
