Can any white trash please explain to me what's so fantastic about owning guns? Why is our culture so obsessed and saturated with them?

Does it make you feel strong? Safe? I own a gun but it wouldn't stop someone from walking up and capping me in the head, even if I carried it with me.

Feel like I'm missing something.

No it's because government is going to march down our street, rip us from our homes, and take over. duh.

When someone beats down my door I'm not reaching for a cell phone.

Yesterday wasn't unprecedented, and guns are harmless as is. People tend to do things with them.

Irony of this 1 is that Norway has strict gun control.

Nothing is gonna change either way. The gun debate is fucking stupid. It will just become a gridlocked mess just like everything else in the government, abortion, religion, gay marriage etc etc. Congress could give a shit less about some kids getting shot up. They all see this as a ploy to get vote. I personally loved Barack Obama's big crocodile tears yesterday on TV.

You know, I am not a supporter of Obama at all but I call bullshit on people thinking those tears were crocodile tears. I may share a completely different ideology then Obama but, one thing we have in common is we are both fathers. Those tears were sincere, he has kids of his own.

7/10 you forgot to call him Barack Hussein Obama or Barry

[Gunga]

His kids go to a private school and have bodyguards on them 24/7. The chances of his kids getting killed is pretty fucking remote. I dont see his ass crying while hes killing millions of other children around the world with his smart bombs. It was a total political ploy

Then do tell me, what is my position?

No, sorry, I tried once by quoting you, and you saw fit to leave it out.
Not playing any more, you're trying to hard to win as opposed to actual honesty and truth.

It absolutely galls me to say this, and probably him as much as me, but Alawen speaks for me 100% in this thread.

If you paid attention to what he said, he never said these kids dying wasn't tragic like a lot of you fucks made it out like he said, he just said that this tragedy is no less tragic than what we do on a very regular basis in other countries.

The only real difference is the color of their skin and the way Americans internalize.

What I find hilarious is that you all prove him 100% right by getting mad at him for saying it, projecting that he LACKS empathy for american children simply because he ALSO shows empathy for non-american kids. It's super ironic that those who are on his ass about not having empathy are actually the ones without empathy.

Also, to you fucktards who are now using this thread as a platform to debate gun control, fuck you, you callous wastes of oxygen.

Immediately?? It took 10 years for the rate to jump to record levels. Seems to me more like around the time the war on drugs started taking place is when the death rate jumped. Also no where on that graph does it say homicides and manslaughters from guns.

It's total homicides, for the relatively obvious reason that guns prevent homicides when potential victims have them. You can nitpick the graph all you want, but the absolute most pro-gun-control argument you can get out of it is that gun control is worthless.
