The 'Americans Getting Shot' Thread

[Bettyboo]

Actually it is the hate in the person that fires the projectile,the gun is only an instrument on it's own it can fire nothing.

Let's look at a simple parallel in London today:

Hate filled man injures 4 with a knife.


If we chose to offer some critical thought one might consider what such a headline might read in a NY subway station:

Hate filled man kills 20 with gun.

Might is the key word. Beyond that what I have said does not discriminate about the weapon used, a gun, a bomb, a knife, the violence came from the anger in the person using the weapon.

We might choose to analyse data, facts and lists of dead people. We could compare similar nations "with guns" and "without" - i.e. US and UK.

Of course, some folks would rather not take this approach because they already know, just like everybody else does, what the results are; they know, just like everyone else does, because the results are overwhelming and obvious - we see it daily, weekly, monthly, annually, throughout our lives.


I will reiterate the point again for you. If you cannot see the relevance then I'll leave it there and agree with Hazz's comment above.
