Respect my views and I respect yours. However, you clearly know nothing about America so. Oh, I didn't mean it as if YOu were saying it I get what you're saying about fighting for a chance to make a run for it. I meant the people who genuinely think they can take on the Army head-on if that time ever came. Oh no :laughga: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 109,692 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 In Germany we have currently around 82.000.000 inhabitants and in 2012 the police shot only 8 (in words: eight) people dead. Moreover the police did fire only 36 shoots within the entire year from their guns. I really would like to see in comparsion the numbers from the USA! Actually, we will never understand here the love and admiration of the US-Americans for their bloody weapons... Germany has like the strictest gun control so this is not shocking. Most people don't even own guns. It's just that they respect the right to own a weapon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, we will never understand here the love and admiration of the US-Americans for their bloody weapons... The 2012 murder rate in the US  4.7 murders per 100,000 people  was significantly higher than in most other wealthy nations. The comparable rate is 0.4 in Japan, 0.8 in Germany, 1.0 in Australia 1.1 in France and 1.2 in Britain, according to figures compiled by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. Among nations assessed by the Paris-based club of market economies, only Brazil, Estonia, Mexico and Russia had higher murder rates. However, when looking only at the rate of people assaulted or mugged, the United States had a lower rate than any country except Canada and Japan, according to the same OECD index. The United States is one of the world’s most heavily-armed nations, with between one-third and one-half of Americans owning guns and strong political resistance to regulations on ownership.

No Angel 128 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Anonymous have identified the killer. Please add this to OP and spread around as much as possible. I'll continuously check it out. I'm not sure it's correct just yet so I can't add it to the OP. When it's "officially officially" confirmed, I'll add it! :) Edited August 14, 2014 by No Angel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauser 1,262 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 WHY is this topic being turned into gun control? I don't want to go all the way back on pages to see where it started but all I know is that Im glad Antonio French is free and I will be able to get his tweets again. Im glad Obama spoke on the issue and he did it very appropriately and those who criticize his response must understand that he is a politician and the President of a nation and cannot react to this based on emotions. Don't expect him to post a #IfTheyGunnedMeDown pic. I hope there is more progress made (the police chief OFFICIALLY identifies the killer of Mike Brown).

American cities where gun laws are strictly enforced maintain their high rates of homicide (Chicago is a prime example). Criminals will get guns no matter what. You know why? Because they're criminals. They're not going to follow the law. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow 6,697 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Here's a good article by Sen. Rand Paul about the demilitarization of the police, because too much loss of unarmed citizens, with four unarmed black citizens killed within the last month. http://time.com/3111474/rand-paul-ferguson-police/ This needs to change. I respect cops, with some very good friends who protect and serve. I just think there has to be a better way to instill order without brutal force. Stand in the light, cast your shadow.
