Where would you feel safer? Wyoming which has a very high rate of gun deaths due to suicide, or Washington DC where you could get shot dead for your wallet on the way home from the pub?
True, but you have to recognise it in yourself too. You are a well educated man with a good paying ergo highly taxed job living in a relatively peaceful well off area. I would guess your neighbours and people in your social circles would be in a similar situation, meaning you would be more sympathetic to the GOP and lower taxes, small government, and the fiscal responsibility.
Sidney for example on the other hand relies on welfare for a way of life and probably will for the foreseeable future, therefore he wants to see liberal big government regimes where the state gives a helping and steadying hand.
Consciously or not, your arguments are in a way self serving.
Youâve destroyed some of the simplistic arguments above regarding gun control, however the one youâve neglected to go into is regarding mass shootings, beyond saying itâs the work of psychpoaths. I agree with you that the availability of automatic weapons heightens the risk, compared to someone entering a crowd with a knife or truck, but they seem uniquely an american phenomenon, why so?

Neither. America is a hellhole and I wouldnât live there for all the tea in China but I wish you safe passage, brah.
Youre an insurance salesman living in ringsendâŚ
Actually youâre closer to the truth than your fantasy friend. I do live right next to Oaktown with my bros but am merely an amateur in the kitchen. There are far better chefs on this site than I, and easy to spot if you know anything about cooking.

Excellent post mate.
So in short, I am surrounded by liberals who religiously vote Democrat, ergo I am a voice of reason in a sea of delusion. Cali is very liberal, Hillary won the state by more votes nationally because of her huge majority here.
There is no talking to modern liberals in the US mate, they have lost whatever plot they used to have. The danger her is the US will turn into a failed state like the UK, and that wonât be good for the westeen world or Ireland in particular. We are the last bastion of free market economics, careful what you ask for or you will be speaking Mandarin before long.
On the psychopath question, thatâs a good one. Supposedly 1% of the male population are and most are very successful so well hidden. Many CEOs are psychopaths for example.
I think more in America tip over some edge where they hate themselves and their failures and inconsequence. In a culture where everyone wants to be famous, just for one day, or a celebrity. Even though they have nothing to offer other than defective brains. A slow madness builds inside them and eventually killing as many as possible is more important than killing yourself.
Itâs hard to understand, no wonder psychologists or psychiatrists wonât treat them. But they need treatment more than anyone for societysâ sake.

Itâs really weird but thatâs Galway.
Bro you are half cork and half wexford. thereâs no curing that.
I see the discussion around the shooting has become less and less about the mass murderer white man and more and more about his supposed accomplice.
Unrelatedly, she is a minority.
Yep, theyâre blaming the Asian lady because sheâs not white. Nothing got to do with trying to ascertain his motive from the person who was closest to him, who just left the country before her partner murdered 50 odd people. Itâs a racist plot.
Have you ever seen Ali G? I think you may get a kick out of it.
You loon.

Great debate over the last few days.
One point about suicide rates and using Japan in the argument as a stat. Iâd be careful as itâs in the Japanese culture or at least itâs more accepted as an out option if you think you have brought shame onto yourself or your family to kill yourself to maintain honour to your name. Just thought Iâd point that out.

Super read over the last two hours to distract the nerves⌠Much like the drugs argument in sports, the only thing that can be done in America is to give everyone a gun.Even the playing field if you want.
