A 3-year-old accidentally shot and killed their 1-year-old sibling Monday in Fallbrook after getting ahold of an unsecured handgun, San Diego County Sheriff’s Deputies said.
I live in Australia where feral animals are absolutely rampant, and one of the biggest problems facing our ecosystem. We have lots of guns but almost no gun violence especially compared to the US. I could have used better wording but i agree with owning a gun if it’s absolutely necessary, and defending yourself against robbers isn’t one. But I agree the issue is systemic and that a lot of things in the US need to change both legally and culturally in order for guns to be banned which will probably never happen. But the fact is that the culture surrounding guns and the sheer amount of them you have in your country and more specifically the cities, not to mention the violence, is repulsive to almost every other country in the world. All our guns are more or less restrained to the outback and farms or rural areas where hunters actually live, and most people don’t own more than a few, and especially don’t make a hobby out of it. Because we see them as a tool a lot more than Americans do, on average. I can’t speak for everyone obviously but that’s the way I see it and statistics back it up.
Your name is different than the person I replied to and I don’t know why you’re here. I’ve never made the point that I think the US doesn’t have a gun problem. We have a problem with regulations that is difficult to resolve because the national government can’t set standards, state governments have different standards, but the doesn’t fucking matter when states legally must acknowledge each other’s licenses, so many people drive to the shittty states and come back.bor they just live in shitty states. Or many issues around the nature of the federal system.
I don’t even know why you’re here talking to me being all high and mighty when you’re totally okay with guns in your own nation for non-critcal reasons as well. You only have a hardline stance about guns existing in the US apparently. You’re shitting on us not for not having good enough regulation of guns which is totally valid, but also for apparently not being better than your own country, which again will allow you to have guns even if it’s not absolutely critical. You don’t have to make the case that you absolutely need a gun in Australia. You can just be like “I just shooting at ranges lol” and they will absolutely give you a license if you under go all the training.
This is the BS I hate. Yes the US has a problem, mostly owing to the nature of thr US being 50 countries in a trench coat in many cases. But people acting like guns are absolutely abhorrent and their country wouldn’t allow them for frivolous reasons like collecting 200 of them (this is totally legal in Australia too BTW) makes me so mad. Be at mad are your own fucking country before getting indignant about a country you don’t even live for not accomplishing things your own nation hasn’t.
I’m allowed to reply to whatever comment I want, and you started by replying to one of my comments in the first place. And don’t act like it’s exactly the same, because the difference is we don’t have more mass shootings per week than there are days, and guns are significantly more difficult to obtain here than over there. And don’t act like it’s a state issue when it’s a collective mindset of the country and that’s the reason they haven’t been properly regulated at a federal level yet. The US is completely backward in this regard and the amount of feral pigs you have there is no excuse for the amount of guns.
