Come live in Brazil @DwyaneWade here owning a weapon is illegal basically. Unless youre a criminal. Then you can have one. By the way we had 60,000 homicides last years. Gun control is not the answer.

By the way military intervention has just been announced for Rio de Janeiro. The "Estatuto do Desarmamento" bill has prohibited owning and carrying a weapon by regular citizens. Even with that, criminals (drug dealers) walk around with machine guns

How about we talk to your rapper friends about glorifying weapons? That might help too, yah know? Maybe talk to your movie star friends about not fetishizing guns in their movies? That might help too, right?
-
Yeah, school shooters don't listen to his "rapper friends".
-
Riiiiight just the shooters of 249 people in Chicago this year alone.

That's not the issue he's talking about, and that's a deep rooted problem relating to poverty.

Plenty of poor ppl out there not killing anyone. The issue is the heart. We live in an increasingly godless society. The answer is so obvious. Policies will not change the hearts and minds of our youth. Only The Creator can do that. And we have killed the idea of HIM.

And the only thing you can come up with is god.

And you come right in and prove my point. I would encourage you to read Romans 1:18-32. It provides the hard Truths are society refuses to recognize about ourselves.

I have no issue with faith nor did I suggest I wasn't of faith, but pushing faith will not solve issue pertaining to gun violence in America.

Exactly. Enough. Guns don't kill people. People kill people!
-
Except in countries where it’s harder to get guns.

Like here in Brazil? 60,000 homicides last year. Military intervention in Rio De Janeiro today. Criminals will have guns no matter what... They will have illegal weapons with gun control.
-
Or what about countries that have more comparable economies and wealth, like England or Australia?
-
About England, please read this that demonstrates that crime rates are a lot higher in the UK than in the US http://johnrlott.blogspot.com.br/2013/01/uks-crime-rate-much-higher-than-uss.html …

25% of gun related deaths happen in just 4 cities. Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, Washington DC all which have some of the most strict gun laws in the country.
-
Tired argument about a city municipality.. Guns need to be banned in entire country period.
-
Nope. I'm not living in a defenseless society.
