All the hate rhetoric going on, joke gun laws, 350 million population, there’s always going to be a number of crazies.
TSP, I'm a firm believer in what people say more often than not, is what they are thinking and the type of people they are. (Trump)
Further to this, a person's upbringing, especially during pubescent age, they are moulded by what their role models do and say, what their peers are doing and saying.
If you live in a world where every second word is f this and f that, the chances are your going to say and act like that. NOT always, but the averages are high if you talk to experts and social workers. The same thing applies with how women and different ethnic groups are treated.
The USA is caught up in their Hollywood ways, that the average American believes that under Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, the right to keep and bear arms is not only a right but a way of life. That they should have a gun in the house, glove box even.
They are dilusional. It is so easy to get a house full of guns and in the hands of nutters who abuse their rights.
As a lad, growing up in a country home, we had guns, we used them to keep rabbits and roos under control but that was it.
Even when we were allowed to have guns, the death rate was very low but the Port Arthur massacre was an example that there's nutters here too who can abuse the system.
We stopped having guns overnight...we went cold turkey and did a great job eradicating a potential problem.
After the guns were gone, knife assaults sky-rocketed.
Multiply the use of weapons by population who have the right to bare arms obviously means their are going to be more deaths, eg USA v Aust..
In 2022, 132 people died in the US from a firearm-related incidents each day. My God imagine that! What if that happened here? It would be like WW3 in Oz.
Americans won't change. Kids in schools or Maccas will be continually slaughtered in numbers by semi-automatic military style weapons.
There is too much money involved provided by people and organisations pulling the strings of US politician puppets not to change the laws and US citizens against guns are out numbered I think.
Lastly, money is votes. Out of all the thousands of US politicians the best they can come up with is Trump, the man who talks down to people and boasts his wealth and an old bloke whose eyes are barely kept open from botox and can't speak without making huge blunders.....both who talk crap. Go USA, the world leaders, so THEY say.
