@GSpellchecker@Joe35357 Many began as ruralist, patriarchal Christian cultures with violent histories. Canada/UK/Japan eg.s apply equally. -
@emlynaddison You cannot seriously be comparing them to the legal, political, historical & cultural American gun relationship?
@Joe35357 -
@GSpellchecker@Joe35357 Of course you can compare them. Human institutions/attitudes are never so dissimilar. Question is political power. -
@emlynaddison Then you're failing to acknowledge the context & specificity of the topic in regards to America. Which is the issue
@Joe35357 -
@GSpellchecker@Joe35357 What I find problematic is the contention that the American model is "too different" for anything else to apply. -
@emlynaddison No, just for the suggestions you've highlighted.
@Joe35357 -
@GSpellchecker@Joe35357 ...? I'd hate to think that my 140-char tweets are the sum total of the issue. The problem is complex. - 4 more replies
