Who has had MORE mass gun murders in the last couple of years? America or the rest of the world?

America is the ONLY country where gun ownership is a "protected Constitutional Right" and America is just about the ONLY place we have massive murders at the hands of gun toting maniacs. America is also the only place where the NRA has been working to increase the availability of guns, whether the buyer is sane or not. Of course, there is the OCCASIONAL mass gun murder in non-Second Amendment nations, but almost ALL of them are right here in America. Why?

    The rest of the world.

    For some reason, when using this argument, liberals fail to realize that Europe is not "the rest of the world". You have to include central and south America, as well as Africa, Asia, and Australia.

    And for the record, the constitution of France also enshrines the right to bear arms.

    Why do you feel gun control is the answer?? Perhaps, if the schools were allowed to teach about GOD or JEHOVAH, the kids would learn that there are other answers to their problem. Now we have kids spending hour after hour playing electronic games that glorify killing, and destroying property. This is a society where kids are being taught by computer games that teach destruction. No longer do we have parents playing "old fashioned board games" with their children. Bonding with them and teaching them right from wrong.. It seems the parents have taken a back seat to the schools and government that feel that the "old fashion way" of corporal punishment (spanking a butt) is child abuse. How has the lack of a good old fashioned helped us, I ask??

    As an after-thought, look up who controlled the White House in the last 20 yrs. and how many mass murders there have been. (Waco, Oklahoma City, Columbine, Denver, etc) Yes Virginia Tech was during "W" term but the majority have been during the term of those who want to control guns..... wonder why that is??? hmmmm//

One evening i grew to become into using for the time of u . s . a . and desperate to %. up a hitch hiker who appeared chilly and hurting. I slipped the 40 5 decrease than my left leg. the guy grew to become into ok for the 1st 200 miles. As we approached a junction at which he wanted to flow left and me suitable, he pulled out a change blade and suggested "i'm going to need your vehicle" I slipped the 40 5 out from decrease than my leg.. He positioned the knife away and that i finished and enable him out. there grew to become into no violence. The gun prevented the violence. yet another historic fact. throughout WWII Japan desperate to no longer attack the U. S. mainland because of the fact they knew the electorate are armed.

    Really? I thought Mexico also had some gun toting maniacs running around killing people. Look up the gun laws for Mexico real quick.

    And for God's sake please wait at least one day before you start using a tragedy for your political views. I'm happy to debate politics any day of the week, but it's way too soon to already turn this tragedy into a debate.

    Most probably the rest of the world as lots of nations are slack and don't record gun murders. Somalia, and third world countries would be some that don't keep government statistics on gun murders.

    Lots of high population nations don't record births so they aren't going to record deaths...

    bunk. Mexico has plenty of gun murders and it's illegal for ordinary citizens to own guns there.

    every country in the Middle East has gun murders as well -- or bombs. The reason they don't have more is that every family has guns and all potential perps know they will shoot back.

    Taliban have the right to bear their bombs just like American has the right to bear arms, that's wht all the middle-eastern countries have high suicide bombing rates like American has high gun massacre rates.

  • The Syrian government was doing a pretty good job of slaughtering its people until we started funneling weapons to the citizens to defend themselves with.

    The rest of the world, obviously. Think next time before you come off as ignorant.
