Love the USA, but I grew tired of the "Right to have a gun." It's one if the worst things in the Constitution. I now live overseas.
Most countries don't have gun problems the way we do. For our neighbors to the north, gun violence is far less because owning a gun isn't a right. You act up criminally or mentally and your ability to legally own a gun is taken away.
A 2019 study of violence with guns shows the rate of gun violence per 100,000 people. The USA was 3.96 per 100k while Canada was 0.47 per 100k. As a percentage, you are 840% more likely to experience gun violence in the USA than Canada.
Are we so different as a people from our neighbors to the north? Yes.
Canada has a different culture when it comes to guns. They view gun ownership as something for hunting animals not people.
Like football, guns in the USA are part of the culture. Like continuous bad behavior on the football field, you're either coaching it or accepting it and we do both.
You use "our neighbors to the north? The "neighbors to the north" whose government locked and emptied the bank accounts of its citizens who protested the mandatory clot shots?
If you exclude the kills from five US cities - the gun violence in the US drops to the bottom of that list - meaning - with the exception of five cities, US citizens are in the ten lowest gun violence ranking in the world. Seems our problems are located in five cities - and if they were exterminated - we'd be a nice, friendly, peaceful, law abiding nation.
Just have to reinstitute public executions, and do a full-court press on the matter. Soon, the problems are in the dirt. Laws aren't worth a tinkers dam if you pull executions off the table. You just lost your deterrent - your opportunity to impress on younger generations the penalties that are applied. It is my hope we get back to that soon. And we can start with top, corrupt, officials and work our way down the stack.
Yes, we are different from our neighbors up north - we "southern neighbors" overthrew our government - as we too at one time were Brits - but the Canadians were still "subjects." With a subject's basic minset, with a subject's customary limitations on freedoms, subject to whims of a subject's government!
The German Chancellor just told the German people they must prepare for war. It's going to be an internal - you see - the German people are unarmed - but they let in buttloads of trouble also called immigrants. It's happening all over Europe - they realize they screwed up. Now they have to get rid of them.
Our Founding Fathers just beat off the forces of the most powerful nation at the time - in the world. And did it with firearms - personal firearms - many times with superior arms as we had a good number of rifles - and not muskets. Better accuracy - more dropped British Officers - more efficient killing. That's what it takes. Violence. You meet force with more force - you meet ruthlessness with greater ruthlessness.
So our recognized right - is in case we need to rid ourselves of an oppressive government - an invasion - even one like we're experiencing today across our Southern Border - and of course - hunting if you so desire.
Like it or not - there's a good number of folks that just need killing. No use letting that kind be the only ones armed.
