Reply was perfectly predictable I love it.

FYI means for your information by the way so

Talks about trauma in a overly emotional tirade with a straw man that nobody argued :man_shrugging:t5:

Now, Straw Dogs. That’s a weird ass film. Has you feeling worse after watching it than you did before.

Lol never heard of it. Is it one of those weird Indy films

But you have American pop culture throughout the world and you don’t have the same deathrate. The issue is easy access to guns, for both the general populace and the police. If you implemented gun control and stop regular police officers carrying guns, you elimate much of the deathrate from guns.

I nearly had a fight with my brother in law a couple of weeks ago. If we both had guns and we pulled guns on each other once of us could of ended up dead. It’s the same with any conflict, guns are too effective killing machines. It’s literally what they’re designed for

Did you edit this 3 or 4 times?

You know I respect this answer.
‘It’s ingrained in culture’, ‘it’s difficult to let go’, ‘we like guns & would prefer to find a different solution than to forego the rights to own guns’ are much more honest answers.

We can then work around that and find a middle ground till the culture changes.

Everyone talks about what aboutism but just to do it yourselves. America is not the same as anywhere else in the world. The culture is not going to change over night and please don’t compare it to slavery it’s not the same

I think it was quite big at the time. Dustin Hoffman is in it. (Perhaps the greatest actor of his generation?)

I wasn’t around in 1972 so I’m not sure how it did at the box office

That is what is needed I agree with you there

I liked him as an actor. Since it’s a old film happy might know since he is the film junkie

Not disagreeing with your point about the function and prevalence of guns. True, American pop culture is broadcast around the world so that alone doesn’t explain the massive amount of gun violence incidents in the U.S. Definitely a factor I’d say.

I think what the debates really about is what can be done to change the culture? Or shall we just accept what it is and go on with our lives? Some would like to find a solution, others have maybe given up.

You have examples of toddles picking up a gun and playing with it and inadvertently shouting their own mum. Nothing to do with the media, right there

Boy are you slow? I said slavery is intertwined with American culture. Not–slavery and guns are the same thing.

You need to work on your reading comprehension.

It’s partly culture, but it’s mainly gun companies paying shedloads of cash to the in the form of bribes to politicians and media to make sure they can sell as many guns as posisble

Like Torin said we need to find away to slowly change the culture as it is at the moment wholesale ban would not work. If the problem was legal guns that is easy to deal with but it’s not. The culture around guns and the easy acquisition of ilegal ones. In the uk the same gun is sometimes used in multiple shootings by different people this is in a country with strict gun laws. Taking guns from American police now is basically a death sentence regardless where on the fence you stand

If you say it was the culture in the south then yes but if you say America as a whole no. Now gun culture has no divide

That was some horrifying shit that crap needs to end fast or it’s just going to escalate (in my opinion it has). State needs clamp down on rioting, looting and burning or more guys like this will take the law in to they own hands
