boobtank 9,090 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Switzerland sounds pretty safe to me. Although they have responsible gun owners. I'm just talking on behalf on myself, no one else. And in the US, an average 289 people are shot a DAY. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo 40,746 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I'm just talking on behalf on myself, no one else. And in the US, an average 289 people are shot a DAY. Although 1 person being shot is 1 too many, those statistics shouldn't frighten you. That literally means you have a less than .000001% chance of getting shot if you come to the US. You have a better change of dying in a car accident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't at you guys defending the use of these guns. Well I'm happy living in a country where I don't have to worry as much about firearms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 109,986 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 I can't at you guys defending the use of these guns. Well I'm happy living in a country where I don't have to worry as much about firearms. We aren't defending the use of guns. In fact, I strongly support stricter gun control and loathe the NRA. We are just trying to get rid of this foreign hysteria about how unsafe the US is because people own guns. I personally have never felt in danger living here.

Guest Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Can't wait for how the NRA (National Redneck, I mean National Rifle Association) responds to this, don't they get by now that Gun Control has to happen for the progression of the U.S.? I hope they're okay :ohno: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc 4,776 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I mean we have 330 million people. It's a fallacy when countries show off low firearm crime rates because they're significantly smaller Percentage wise, US has some of the highest militart spending, highest crime rates, most shootings, most police shootings, most gun danger, most gun possession, most killed by police, best police defense (why does police need tanks in a small city like Ferguson, though , etc. Percentage-wise, the US is way worse off than any other developed country. In Germany, 2011, 6 were killed by police and 85 times the police in the whole country over the whole year used their gun. They have a 80 million population, only 4 times smaller. In Britain, 2013, 0 was killed and 3 people in total were shot by police over the whole year with a 60 million population, 5 times smaller than the US. In the US, the amount of 'justified police shootings', according to the FBI (doesn't include unjustified cases, lower number than reality) in 2013 was 409. That's a lot. "Even after adjusting for the smaller size of Britain’s population, British citizens are around 100 times less likely to be shot by a police officer than Americans. Between 2010 and 2014 the police force of one small American city, Albuquerque in New Mexico, shot and killed 23 civilians; seven times more than the number of Brits killed by all of England and Wales’s 43 forces during the same period." http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2014/08/armed-police Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What 2nd Amendment defenders forget, is if citizens are armed against the state, the police need to be extra militarized and trigger-happy in response. It's a kind of arms race.

TRILL MONSTER 1,113 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 can we please not relate this to the injustice of white on black crime? particularly said innocents of black people innocently dying at the hands of cops? cops put their lives on the line for this very reason, if this ends up being a regular case about robberies and everyday crime lets not use this as an opposition to the race/police brutality debate, this seems to have no correlation. Lmao no ones comparing you racist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc 4,776 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Who would want to live in a country where you can't buy guns? Sounds terrible! Because we feel safe enough without them. You can still get guns, but you'll need a license for it, can't use it and it must be a legal one. You can get a license by being member of a shooting club and knowing how to handle it.
