I have... and i MUST say... RICHEST US state, poorest town. As much as 40% of youngsters live in poverty...
Perhaps someone from insurance makes 1M $ a year... not far away from him, people are food insecure.
Kids have a "great" game... It's called "dance and dodge bullets"
This isn't "a good system".
If there was a check if someone was a lunatic, before giving him a bazooka as "basic right", there would be less problems.
Nope I live in Norwalk.
How can you possibly blame anyone else for people being poor here? Cant these kids parents get jobs? If they cant why not? People that cant speak the language do & they support themselves.
If their kids are dodging bullets thats because their parents tolerate that in their neighborhood.
I dont know what your refering to about a bazooka but to buy any gun you need to pass a backround check. For a bazooka I imagine it might be harder.
The crime problem is a social one. As long as people like yourself dont point your finger straight at the perpetrator then people will keep blaming the things that dont matter. Isn't it better if our young people dont want to kill each other?
And I just call you ignorant (which actively makes you impotent).
In the case of soft drugs we rather focus on harm prevention (a method that works) instead of a total ban on drugs which does not work (and in the case of drugs never will work). In Holland discussing soft drugs is rather a dull issue (not a forbidden fruit anymore), unlike in the States. In the case of firearms, we rather ban all guns (except for the police and military) instead of allowing everyone to use 1.
So you feel you have a right to get high but not protect yourself. I can see an oppresive nation allowing that. Keep the people burnt & they wont care that they dont matter.
But, if a ban on drugs cant, in your admission, work than how can banning guns?
Are there NO homicides or crimes with a gun in Holland? Because if theres even one that a person could have stopped by being armed then he was sacrificed so you could feel good. Personally I couldn't abide that in myself. To deny someone effective defense so I could feel fuzzy.

Yes, it WOULD truly be better if young people didn't want to kill each other at all... but how to make it happen in US?
I agree with you on the social one... it is a problem.
Concerning background check, WHY didn't that EVER stop anyone from
randomly killing people?
Every nut can get a gun here... do they pass a psycho-test? Are they evaluated, maybe they are possibly dangerous?
If one nutjob's "freedom" to own a gun endangers everyone else, then his freedom is a problem.
The same thing with smoking... If one smokes, and his "freedom" is a poison to me, then this is a problem.
1. As far as i am concerned, yes. Maybe it doesn't HAVE to be banned, but
conditions to obtain one should be strict. Like psycho test etc.
2. Absolutely. Partial ban already exists... depending on where you are
Typical social engineering... Whats next? 1 baby limit per family, You have to live a block from your job. No political radio commentary, Book burning? When it will it stop?

Hey, he's European. It's in his nature to be as self-righteous and authoritarian as possible while looking down on the US.
+1 Tin Knocker! I believe with all my heart that certain Europeans are so ingrained with jealousy and hatred of the US because we as "upstarts" in the world are head and shoulders above Europe in so many ways. THEY should be looking to emulate US, not the other way around! We've done and continue to do so much to help out the rest of the world and get no thanks at all and even have to put up with all the America bashing. Enough!
Now lets try to stay on topic about guns! This is a favorite tactic when someone knows nothing about a subject and has been proven ignorant of it. They try to change the subject.
Hey, doesn't this "lovely" government LOCK UP children for smoking pot?
No.........................
