@emlynaddison @MMFlint Gone from a culture of guns to a culture of violence.NRA thinly veiling it still as a culture of guns.

@MMFlint Alot of countries entered WWII out of necessity, like Canada, none more so then the U.K..Never got the MMM u describe -

@MMFlint Americans always have had the better than others tough guy image of themselves.Just plain violent by nature. -

@MMFlint I think greed + anger at not being taken care of properly when they did return.If country wouldn't protect them + -
@SOOTHE_ This is waaay beyond just returning vets--that all happens AFTER the gun culture & violence is already in full swing. Chicken & egg - 6 more replies

@MMFlint No, it's the guns. Period. -
@imajoebob I wish it was that simple. But, like most things, it just isn't. -
@emlynaddison Then why do countries with similar cultures have near zero problem? And inherently more violent have near zero problems?
-
@imajoebob "more violent have near zero problems"?? -
@emlynaddison ex: S Korea has a true culture of fascination/adoration of violence. 50 violent gun crimes in 5 years, pop 50M people.
-
@imajoebob I only see 1 rampage for S. Korea: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rampage_killers#Asia … and is way down in this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate … (USA > S. Africa!!) -
@emlynaddison I believe that's my point: A more violence-fascinated society with almost ZERO gun violence.
-
@imajoebob OK I misread that. But S. Korea is "violence-fascinated"? Compared to what? Measured how??

@MMFlint Agreed. It is about what our government has become and the protection we need from it. -
.
@ShangKwon@MMFlint If you don't want to become the government's "slave", don't buy guns for "protection", instead run for office.#solved -
@emlynaddison
@MMFlint Your argument makes no sense. Have a happy new year. -
.
@ShangKwon@MMFlint A government by, for, and OF the people. What part of that doesn't make sense. Don't like it? Change it in office. -
@emlynaddison
@MMFlint I don"t need to change anything. My rights are protected by the Constitution and the 2nd amendment. -
.
@ShangKwon@MMFlint The second amendment permitted you to keep a musket, not a semi-automatic .223 AR-15 with an extended mag & laser sight -
@emlynaddison
@MMFlint It says nothing of the sort. It allows me to bear arms. I don't see muskets, AR15's, or extended mags mentioned -

@ShangKwon@MMFlint If you can't bring yourself to recognize that the laws were drafted in context of their time, then we are at odds. - 3 more replies
