(12,194 posts)63. Lets get something strait here...
Americans inability to safely own guns has zero to do with conclusions I have drawn and everything to do with the 30k people that needlessly die every year just so you can have a deadly toy.
Lets get something strait here: The only entities that think this is a choice between us having guns and 30k people dead every year, are anti-gun idealogues like you.
So yes, it has EVERYTHING to do with the conclusions you have drawn, exactly like I said.
...the deaths of thousands of children a year...
Asserted with out substantiation. Dismissed likewise.
The rest of the world thinks Americans are mentally ill in relation to guns.
America thinks that countries that require ID for plastic utensils are even more mentally ill.
And if we're using mainstream opinion as benchmark, the US is the outsider freak on Earth.
That's still using the rest of the world as a standard. I don't live in the rest of the world, nor would I want to. I'm happy here.
But then, I'm also not trying to see your country live by the particulars of my opinion, like you seem to be doing with mine.
