I’m not here to argue either side, just point out that the concept is alien to me. I have fired a rifle once but that’s it.
America’s a violent country, more so than the average citizen realises as most of the violence takes place elsewhere.
On balance I’d prefer humans to be less violent but with 5% having psychopathic tendencies that’s probably a pipe dream.
I worry about the USA and how a lot of the culture there gets copied here. Seeing it more and more. Knife crime. Eight year old children getting shot in London. A 61 year old worker on London Underground the other night ended up dying in hospital after being beaten.
America is more violent because there is an epidemic of drugs and mental illness in big cities. Add illegal immigration and you have violence. The areas with more violence are those more populated with gun restrictions. Europe will be way more violent quite soon and people will have no ways to protect their families.
We’re quite good at rioting… actually maybe not that good tbh.
If I recall correctly, the gun restrictions tend to tighten in response to rises in gun violence, so obviously those places will have more gun violence.
It usually doesn't start with increased gun restrictions; it starts with decreased marriage rates. Marriage rates are the main cultural artefact determining all other positive traits of a neighborhood or region, in the mid-to-long term.
