Gun laws

[Rose2020]

In America.
So, do those who insist on their rights to own guns still feel the same after this latest appalling incident?

As an Englishwoman in the UK, I have never understood this mentality of Americans. Why would the average citizen want a gun?

The people who feel that way still felt that way after all the other shootings, I don't see why this one would be any different.

I expect you are correct. Sadly.

The average American citizen doesn't own a gun. See the demographic info.

Sorry, i formed an assumption that just about anyone can buy a gun in America?
It's such a different system to that in Britain. Here we just cannot do that and I am so glad.

They can. If you have sufficient reason, such as erectile dysfunction for example

Whatever the case, America has the solution.

Indeed, most Americans over 18 are allowed to buy a gun. I'm just pointing out that 2/3rds of them choose not to. And so, in that way, the "average" American is not a gun owner.

Among those who are, hunting and protection appear to be the major reasons they choose to own guns.

[Rose2020]

I understand. Yet we do very well without in the UK.

I think not, Rose. We have the Triangle of problems: much heroin addiction, rife corruption and a lot of torture. The guns (and pepper spray) allows USA to do business, etc. See the success of NYSE/NASDAQ over the European stock exchanges. USA is the hope of the World and therefore the leader for the World to become a better place. It's all places outside USA which should copy USA, not the other way around.

Maybe communists are happy in Europe, but you should know the reasons why they are happy. They are not in favor of human rights and the rule of law. You should also know what they want to do with kids: break them mentally, make them mentally dead. It says so in Marx' work, close to where they declare religion the opium of people. Privacy is also a problem in communism, they don't know where to draw the line.

There is a reason why they say USA is God's own country because rule of (Christian) laws is respected there. I have some business experience and USA is at least 2 levels above all other places in ease of business and in efficiency in realizing ideas, helping to make ideas products or make them impact.
