"You Americans" as if I ever said I was an American, which I am btw but, you just assumed that shit lol I am just one American, I don't speak for us as a whole.

I noticed certain people on DXP talk about Americans as if they're inferior which is fine if that's how some people feel because everyone is entitled to their own opinions and because most Americans probably have the same idea about them. Just don't come to me with that bullshit if you actually want to have a conversation. I don't judge you based on where you come from, don't do it to me and that's a general statement to everyone.

It's a general mindset most Americans have though. Of course there are other ways to kill people but if you look at Europe there are hardly any shootings.

But whatever. You lot keep justifying killing. I hope none of you will live to see the consequences of gun possession.



No, hardly any shootings-- oddly, they've found other, equally effective ways to kill people.

And no one justified killing-- you just made that up, though it isn't clear why.

The whole criminals will still have guns thing is an excuse in my book. As criminals get arrested, their guns are taken off the street. For the most part, guns would eventually filter out of the system.



True. But then they just use knives.

Then we all have to turn in our knives.

Then they use baseball bats.

Then we all have to turn in our bats.



It will just keep going. You'll say it's a stretch...but remember, the TSA banned nail clippers on planes.



More people can be killed at a faster rate than with a baseball bat or a knife. You're comparing apples and oranges.



I can also drive a truck into a crowd of people and kill more people faster than a gun.

Should we ban trucks?

I can set movie theatre on fire and block the exits and kill everyone inside with a bottle of gasoline and a match.

Do we ban gasoline and matches?



A gun is classified as a weapon. It's entire purpose is violence. The same can't be said about a vehicle or a match.

That isn't true-- they're pretty effective when it comes to *preventing* violence, as well.

They didn't name them "peacemakers" for nothing.

Just saying. 😄

That's just your bias talking. I never said anything about justifying killing. I'm just being realistic and seeing the bigger picture. I agree with you and I understand your point of view but, I can't narrow it down to just guns and blame one weapon when it's really just the people behind it. If we're going to solve an issue we should get to the core of it and to get to the core we need to understand what drives people to kill other people because they're the reason it happens.

People are the ones going to these stores to buy these guns to kill these people, that's the problem and unfortunately that is something that will continue happening in this world whether or not we have guns. It's a cycle that will never end as long as people let their emotions of anger, envy and hate drive their actions. It's sad but, it's reality.

~sigh~ it really is such a shame... it goes so much deeper, violence has existed since the dawn of time, it's a vicious cycle = ( dreams for world peace will always be just that, dreams... I hate to have to accept it, but there are things in this world one person just can't change and trying to get everyone on the same page just wont happen. I see the bigger picture... it's just not pretty. Inner city violence happens everyday, but it rarely shows up on the radar and when it does come to the attention people rather not see it or don't care (we've become almost immune to it). Violence happens everyway and I'm not saying it's acceptable, it's just uncontrollable... As much as I would like to get rid of all mass destruction, like many others have said people will find other ways... when hate and anger consumes you you can do anything driven by it and fear.

"Guns don't kill people, people kill people"

It's like you Americans don't give a fuck about all the lives lost to gun violence -_-

If guns were to be banned there would hardly be such a thing as a shooting.

You cannot eliminate violence with violence.



Ignorant foreigner. Don't you realize that it's not the gun...? Have you realized people will make shanks? Your so blind sided and don't understand it. Shut up really don't know what your talking about if your experience it. These are our countrymen that are dieing and you think just banning will do the job— totally clueless.

Chicago is almost the murder capital of the world and guess what they have the strictest gun laws. Criminals don't follow laws. Gun sales have been going up for years and more areas having ccw permits. Yet from fbi's own website, rape is down. Are less criminals wanting to rape women? No it has something to do with the fact its a guessing game, whether or not they'll be allowed to victimize someone.

Po...ems or
poetry dear Sir
shall I commit
or begin
the dual
of life itslef

Hpw fnny is life whe can not begin to understnad the concept of it enter-it-y, I do not want to enter into it at all and will fight until i am dead or done and dusted as they say in the old skool of rock,

Me, no scared just wary of what may be or what could be! I do not feel it is my duty to enter into it at least not yet this is why I am not going to do this no matter what the course of future events you try to beheld in front of me. Facade extraordinaire and I winder why this is si? When more important thins are so much much far reaching, maybe its my small minded and bnarrow view of what it is too exist and this in itself creates the perception of my own self de-illusion that you hold so dear to your heart.

No wonder you wanted to believe, no wonder you wanted me- to be lieve in, what your own self illusion of perseption or is that perception which turned to in de-illusion of what all pwople believe.

Now if thats not stary (story) teelin' ike it 'was, I don know what os or is ah who gives a fuck anyway, an noone considering the whole 'plot' line.

Somertimes wonder why i havent lost it (the plot) like I sometimes wish I could, would give me a good excuse to do some serious shit though. Argh...

People thems plot lost it not theme that runs the viene of true humanity or vanityt or vanuatu, yeh, thats right no illogicallity here says the logiaciallya. Plz excuse my gross misspelling of such lettering I sha;; ll never know, this isthe decent into madness I go (shall) when yo can not keep up to the so-called society's pattern of interest. Then they deem you inconrenhenciple, also who makes up that word anyways. " So called experts " who are these whol make the rules of societal behaviour.

Go suck my dick you motherfuckers you have been the bane of my existance for too long and still you can not not get rid of me. Why i plead to you? What is it that gets you oof from watching me do my thing? I know you do not derive any sexual pleasure from it then does tha mean that other levels?

No it is some ting beyond that.

Like a crossword puzzle, i hate cross word puzzles, never been good at them in the way you want me too so you seek out other crossword enthusiasts to share themselves (u)nto you. Relative y(o)u say.

I say bullshit and I mean bullshiot.
