Racism and inequality exist everywhere, man. It just does. I’ve seen it in France, Germany, England, Singapore and India. It definitely exists in Australia. If you think guns will fix the problem, or even alleviate it, you will have to show me the evidence, because the US is awash in firearms and things aren’t improving. Especially for POC.

What it boils down to, every damn time, is the idea of American exceptionalism. It won’t work in America because reasons. Even if systems are placed in other countries, and work fine, it won’t work in the states. It is one of the reasons why the US won’t adopt the metric system. Only the US and two third world countries haven’t made the switch. That’s fine, but American exceptionalism has now led you guys into a war that nobody wanted except Israel. Even two thirds of your own country don’t want it. This is not a question of gun control, it’s an issue of talking yourself into a position, and defending it to the literal death of your own people.

I’m not going to try and convince you anymore. It’s no skin off my nose how America runs it’s own country. But Americans aren’t all that special. People in other countries laugh, poop, sleep, cry, drive, walk and sing, etc. Any system can be adopted if the will of the people want it badly enough. And you guys apparently want to be the world leaders in gun deaths per capita, and that’s your decision. But don’t try to blame it on the belief that you are an extraordinary different people. You’ve not.

Ok, then what is the truth?

That response lacks internal logic.

1. The countries I mentioned, including Australia, have a multifaceted solution. Heavy restrictions on weapon ownership. A very strict permit system. A refusal to grant a permit until authorised training has been completed. A valid reason for gun ownership (such as membership in a gun club). Mandatory gunsafe compliance - the police can do spot checks on gun storage without a warrant. These are a suite of Solutions, not a single magic bean that you suggest are impossible, except they are possibly.

2. You refer to the likelihood of getting rid of guns because of Trump’s fascist state? Is that the latest excuse? What was the problem before 2016 then?

Look, American gun culture is what it is. It probably is impossible now to reverse things. But own it and don’t keep coming up with all these nonsensical excuses because they work fine in peer countries.

I did a bit of research myself. A few Nordic countries, and New Zealand, have high gun ownership and low gun death rates.

It seems that the difference is that these countries have very high gun regulations, strict purchase and permit laws and restrictions on storage. I’m not an American, but in truth, is this the case in the US? For instance, none of these countries permit handgun open carry. In Australia owning a handgun at all is next to impossible (almost) and the requirements hardly make it worthwhile for target shooters.

It would help if you name these countries and their stats. Not giving you homework to do, but it is an empty statement to make after the OP posted actual data.

Happy to accept that the US isn’t a standalone if we see your information.

So, Australia doesn’t publicly fund mental health treatment and still hav3 way, way less gun deaths.

We also have way less guns.

You guys have stock standard excuses. None of them are true.

Explain which bit is cherry picked and why? Is it disputed that the US has very high gun ownership and very high gun deaths when compared to other first world countries?

Why all the side issues. Is it true, or not?

If it is true, and I believe that it is, it may explain why you are triggered?

On the web, I be Albanian.

So is there a plan to preselect a normal person next time?

I never mentioned rot, I don’t think so anyway. Any bread I’ve ever had doesn’t look the same after 5 days.

That doesn’t explain the untarnished bun.

Even if he were to be drafted do you think that he’d see an hour on the front line?

Meet Captain Bone Spurs, officer in charge of NFT development in New York. He knows how to computer.

Only if you want to do it correctly…

Air guitar for people without pets.

I don’t understand, how do they get the food and drinks trolley past all that?

Paul never even met Jesus. He had a vision that Jesus wanted him to be a disciple.

Try having a vision that you are a billionaire CEO of some big Wall Street company and see how far that will take you?

So glad that I’m not a US citizen.

That’s the old Apple standby.
