Mass Bow & Arrow Killing - Where are the Bow Control pundits?

[UsualName]

The reality is people are trained by culture to regard certain weapons as not just preferable, but necessary. If they don't have the weapon of choice handy they give up on the idea. And the reality is that some weapons are better killing tools.

Something you put in your car is easily adapted as a proper WMD, not just a building but a city block leveled and many nearby dead from high pressure vacuum exposure but we don't talk about this because we know its foolish to put ideas in heads of unstable people.

Not one pilot was particularly surprised on 9/11 beyond it had taken so long for a terrorist to employ this.

The weapons people are trained to think they need being easily available matters. It also matters with suicides given the superiority of a gun for the task.

No doubt having a gun increases suicide rates. Look no further than law enforcement and military suicide rates.

Wait a second here, are you saying that america has more mentally ill and confused people than the rest of the western world? Or, are you saying the rest of the western world treats their mentally ill and confused people better than America?

Im confused here because we are comparing 40,000 gun deaths and tens of thousands more of gun injuries every year in America to 5 deaths in Norway as equal and it is obviously not.

You can never stop violence considering its been occurring since early humans lived in caves in the Paleolithic period.

We can shield ourselves from it even if/when it happens in our community...whatever we do...it will not be enough.

It's a sad reality but it's been the reality for over 2 million years.

Not enough bandwidth or time in the day to hash out the root causes, I don’t have it anyways. Ask your self why did this individual respond in such a way?

Yes there’s been violence since Cain killed Able

One person has a beef with someone, Hatfields have a beef with the McCoys, this I understand but why does someone have enough hate to start killing people en-mass, people they have no association, little or no known history, no basis other than their perceived prejudice?

To Usualname, yes America has a mental health problem, it’s there in other cultures but on full display here. For many reasons, problems in our society, when in combination, lowers our moral filter to the point where these kinds of outbursts are becoming common place. It’s not getting better.

Guns have always been in our society, the problems we see today haven’t, only until recently.

What we can do is lessen the danger by taking civilized precautions- like common sense gun laws to keep guns off of the street.

What would be better is if a great number of responsible Americans were carrying in public.

Au contraire, for a long time “no guns within city limits” was very much our society. Wyatt Earp would have thrown you out of his town on your ass faster than you could whistle camptown races for having a gun. Don’t kid yourself about this gun stuff. We became kooky with guns in the 1970s.

1. your data is outdated. Check here:
https://www.cwla.org/suicide-rates-are-the-highest-in-the-u-s-compared-to-wealthy-countries/

2. Look at the suicide by gun in your own data.

3. Remove eastern nations because they have a cultural problem with hiri kari.

Suicide rates have nothing to do with whether or not guns are legal.

Why responsible, is there mention of responsible in the constitution? Compulsory gun safety courses are obviously an unconstitutional infringement on the 2nd amendment.

Anyone should be able to buy a gun as easily as a pack of gum at a checkout.

Correct. You miss the point though as usual. We already have irresponsible criminals carrying guns and so if a great number of responsible Americans were carrying guns, then the criminals would be marginalized.

Interesting. Do you have a link on this?
