Quote:It's Gun Culture.

 

America's solution to gun violence is basically: More guns.   This has lead to the militarization of police.  Because when civilians have guns, police feel they need more guns too.  


Now I'm not advocating an outright gun ban.  I think in the hands of good people, guns are a good thing.  It's just that in the hands of bad people, they're a very bad thing.  I'm sure that people much smarter than me could come up with a solution that helps keep the guns out of the hands of bad people, without taking them from the good people who are responsible.  It's unfortunate we'll probably never see such a solution implemented however.

 

Yep. Were in way too deep to do anything now imo.

 

Morons like to claim just because some dudes in the 18th century claimed we should have guns to protect ourselves from an oppresive government, means that ordinary people should have military grade weapons now adays. Look at pretty much every other developed country in the world and none of them have a policy anything like this. Which obviously leads to less deaths and less crime. It really is a joke but like I said its way too late to realistically do anything about it.
