Mass killing makes the news but it doesn't even bump the needle on the murder rate unless you count gang shootings where they kill several people at once. Gotta love how hard you fellas work to minimize the mass murder rate here. The mass murder rate compared to the murder rate is pretty much insignificant. If you compare your chances of dying in a mass murder to what it is for a 14-30 year old black man in Baltimore, you are getting down to the "killed by a terrorist" kind of numbers. BTW, the suicide rate for males in Japan is 26.9 per 100,000, compared to 19.4 per 100,000 here. Suicide is a holdover of Japanese society during its feudal times and in World War II. I suppose mass murder is a holdover of American society. But they seem very good at it without using guns. 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? |

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. |

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... |

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. |
