And yet, the rest of the civilized world seems content to just ease up on murdering people when their guns are restricted.Originally Posted by ober
I know what you mean, but I think you could've picked much better words. You're suggesting there are good reasons for people to go around killing each other.Maybe we have better reasons to kill someone over here? Ever think of that?
What I think is the case is that the U.S. has less of a sense of community than most of the world. Furthermore, our status as a "melting pot" makes social cohesion oftentimes difficult.
Also, I don't think our drug laws are really helping to curb violence. Instead, they create an enormous illegal market that creates more violence.
But few people want to tackle those issues ...
