It's several decades too late to meaningfully restrict gun access. What Americans need to do is move the gun discourse away from an all or nothing approach. Recognize that gun ownership plays a pivotal role in nationwide culture, national defense and public safety while pinpointing harms that can be reduced or eliminated without unreasonably limiting freedoms for the layperson. But while conservatives think banning things like extended magazines is literally Hitler and liberals can't tell an AK47 from a M16 meaningful conversations are doomed to fail, and bodies that would otherwise be standing will keep piling up from mass shootings, gang warfare, domestic violence and accidents. There are other countries with open gun cultures that don't result in people being afraid of being shot in the face by an angry **** or a thug on a daily basis.

And obviously that only addresses one of the tools used for violence, other underlying factors like mental illness, wealth inequality and whatnot that gets people into crime or makes them snap is a whole other topic for discussion.

This is the real reason behind this. Capitalism breeds extreme individualization and alienation which ultimately ends up in tragedy

Almost all other societies are more collectivist than the US, from China to India to Nigeria to Argentina to Sweden. It's pretty stupid to just say "individualism" and prescribe less of it as a solution because it's literally what the rest of the world does, evidently with mixed results. If anything, tribal tendencies can be argued to make the situation in the US worse (e.g. hyperpartisianship, segregation, religious fundamentalism).

You do know that before the agricultural revolution (10,000 years ago) Humans were living in pretty much communist tribes for 100,000 years?

No it hasn't and it wasn't communism; it was tribalism. Early civilization enslaved other tribes.

The population of the earth was less than a medium sized city today with infinite resources. Also they had no time to discover medicine or engineering. If you live that world you can live it in Peru. But lose the phone, vaccinations, genetically modified food and clean water. Good luck.

No. Shifts in power happened ONLY after agriculture was mastered.

Agriculture created the concept of surplus, which in turn created an imbalance in power. The one who controlled this surplus had the power which then escalated into warfare and enslavement.

You're thinking about societies after the neolithic period I'm talking about humanity way before that. Hunter gatherer societies were peak humanity

Vegan, communist. Pretty much as mentally unstable as they come. I'm glad he doesn't believe in guns or working. Because if he had an ounce of motivation and a weapon he could start that revolution he masterbates thinking about.

Which helped as population control, more ammo to my argument. Besides the whole "men never lived past 30" is a myth. Ancient arts, text and religions all talk about elders and old age. There are lots of recent studies that prove that men in hunter gatherer societies lived well past 60

https://condensedscience.wordpress.c...-other-groups/

Humanity has been going downhill since the neolithic and industrialization has only increased this decay exponentially. There are still some humans that live in these type of societies (think about african bushmen or amazonian tribes) to them the concept of one of their own randomly and violently murdering their own kin would seem impossible and incomprehensible

The guy was also a Marine and Liberals always say that only cops and military should own guns and he was a former Marine.

Cali is the litmus test for the rest of the US for these sort of laws yet they still have this problem. The guy had run ins with the law and mental health issues and no one did anything about it but hey guns are the problem guys!

Hates consumerism.

Wears Levi jeans, hanes shirt, baseball cap. Takes picture with latest iPhone, sent over corporate satellites , from Peru Which he flew to on a Boeing jet using tons of fossil fuels.

Enslaves and oppresses us?..

Bro - my pops and grandad came over from a third world country after WWII, grandad orphaned living on the streets and he fukkin made it here and brought his family over. To have an education, to be able to walk to a fukkin supermarket, to be able to buy w/e the fuk they want. All of these great inventions and way of life has been made possible by capitalism. Not enslaved laborers.

We have grown and are living very comfortably and you act like this is bad.. Or you sayin we should go back to livin in our shack next to the sea because America and Capitalism is evil?

You think a government will just destroy itself with nukes? Guerrilla warfare would be the outcome if there was a civil war here again against the government just like during the Revolution War. Just look at how the US did against Vietnam and the goat herders living on mountains even tho the US has nukes.

Would a government destroy their own country to beat those resisting against them? Who would they govern after that?

First step to dictatorship and tyranny is the removal of the civilian's right to protect themselves with the promise that the government will protect them, just look at Venezuela and see how that worked out for them.

how does that gun ban in chicago going?

you can't ban guns when it's easier to get a gun illegally then legally.

the problem is more single mother/cuck father boys in america full of estrogen, anger and lashing out. Decline of the family unit is creating these ****ed up boys. Something feminists and sjw's don't want to talk about.

How many shooters grew up with strong father figures?
