BTW are you following the story about the 12 year old who ran into a
store with a loaded rifle (New Zealand). He threatened to kill
everyone. Everything was there but the willingness to actually shoot
someone. Do you really think culture has nothing to do with this?
Sure, they're not exposed to our gun culture.
Now explain that to Harry who says they watch all of the same movies
and play the same video games.
Our "gun culture" is built on a lot more than movies and video games,
which are pretty much the same in all modern western countries.
Explain that. What part of our gun culture here makes a 12 year old
more likely to actually shoot someone?
Since this kid had the rifle, availability had nothing to do with it.
The easy availability of firearms, the failure to detect most of those
with a tendency towards violence, the tremendous number of shootings in
this country and the acceptance of it by people like you...
The NZ kid had availability.
Gosh, Bilious, didn't you see the part about "...the failure to detect
most of those with a tendency towards violence, the tremendous number of
shootings in this country and the acceptance of it by people like
you..." as differences between 'Merica and other modern western nations
where firearms are available?
Guess not.
Did you miss the part where we do not accept the killings. We wonder why
so many. How many mass killings a year? How many killed a year in
Chicago? How many shootouts in Detroit, Chicago, DC kill or injure more
than most of the mass shootings? Is a culture, not availability of
firearms.
