    Because so many Americans think guns, make you tough, strong, and safe. The reality is, these people are afraid of their own shadow, are stupid as a rotting log, racist as fuck, and usually shoot themselves in the foot. Children who watch too many fake Hollywood action movies.

      While this is true, this is a symptom of the underlying problem, which is intentional nation dividing “us against them” narrative by media (owned by the ruling class), lack of education.

        Education can only do so much. Indoctrination is sadly, more effective.

          Yes, but that is partially my point. You can hardly blame the victims of indoctrination. Well, you can but they are not the main culprit

            Yeah but it’s easier to blame them. And if we blame them then we don’t have to do anything, because it’s somebody else’s fault.

              Blame the billionaire class who benefit from divided, indoctrinated and uneducated working class.

    This post starts with propaganda framed as a question, and reinforced with comments containing assumptions and anecdotes. I checked several sources and none of them place America even in the top 50 murder rate, out of 195 countries.

    If instead you’re referring to “America” as both the northern and southern continents, then that is incredibly misleading and disingenuous.
