Sad story. A young woman was stabbed to death on a train in the middle of the afternoon in an apparent domestic dispute. Passengers took videos and posted them online but no one intervened. Some said there were efforts to intervene but they backed off when they saw the man had a knife.

It's a good thing Chicago has such strong gun laws. Who knows what might have happened if some NRA nutcase had a concealed weapon.
 
In other news, an American mom in Texas decided to shoot her two kids today. Who knows what would have happened if they didn't own guns. Too bad Texas is so well armed. I suppose they could have hired a security guard from the NRA to live at their house ?

Point is, your logic about guns is brutally stupid. The US has far more gun related crime then any other peaceful, first world countries. For every situation where some random gun carrying citizen might have stopped a crime there are many situations where the existence of guns exasperated the damage of the event ( and more deaths result ).

Read a good article today on the Second Amendment. The reason it originally existed is no longer relevant in modern day USA.
 
Swiss and Canadians and many other countries have tons of guns.
What they don't have - Americans.

Something bless em but - Americans are fucked in the head.

Far more crime is stopped with guns, then perpetrated. Major media won't report that fact. So viewership is left with the impression crime is only caused by guns. Not prevented. One of the favorite games media love to play on the trusting public...

Until the 2nd Amendment is repealed by law (not sure any of the first ten Amendments in the Constitution may be 'repealed'....but that's a topic for another debate), Americans have the right to keep and bear arms.

Stats don't lie, your idea that tons of crimes are stopped with guns ( a fairly subjective theory ) is not supported by the actual number of crimes that aren't stopped by guns or any other means in the US.

Gun advocates seem bent on proving that Americans are absurdly violent people. I don't believe that. I think the easy access to weapons causes more violent crime and suicides. And that easy access to more powerful assault weapons can lead to more carnage in the worst situations.

But I will agree that it's America's problem to solve, and you have to live with the consequences of your laws and take full responsibility for it ( good or bad ). What I can't abide by is the posters on here blaming people of colour for increased crime or thinking it's isolated to inner cities only. And I won't accept shitty statistical nonsense that does things like remove the worst areas for violence, education levels, etc and compare that to other countries without removing their worst areas in the same studies. That's shady bs and not at all useful to solving your very real problems.

Frankly, I find it strange that some Americans seem to enjoy the idea of carrying a gun in much the same way a Canadian carries a wallet or phone. But I don't need to understand this, it's up to Americans who aren't comfortable with that reality to do something about it as a group. Not at all unlike smoking or wearing seat belts, eventually science and consensus wins out.

No, AAA would probably point to NRA-commissioned studies that recommend the children should have been armed. Being a strict Constitutionalist, AAA would note that nowhere in the Second Amendment does it specifically prohibit children from owning firearms. Read the text. Open carry, baby!
