    America’s gun problem, explained

    https://www.vox.com/2015/10/3/94…

    • but there isn't a problem. media and politics try to frame a problem out of context of other issues. drunk driving, other sins we do since we are individuals.deathboy
    • we could get rid of all guns or just ban cars and save more. cars pollute... however. neither ban seems smart. both come with quite the ill consequences.deathboy
    • harder to understand the gun one because we havent had a period without it. quite a defining staple. however seeing other countries that have imposed bans anddeathboy
    • stature in the world it would seem unwise. where as guns may seem impractical they are similar to a nuke in deterrent. just having them changes thingsdeathboy
    • or be like nancy reagan and go all out on good feelie cause. see how well it works out.deathboy
    • "there isn't a problem"
      .......

    • lolinteliboy
    • lolpango
    • nope not a problem. or similar to a problem if giants don't win the fuckin series. frame the "problem" in context to other things for a little bit of clarity.deathboy
    • ie deaths. we see far many other freedoms killing. preventable deaths, we measure cost of liberties taken, however some lose no liberty but fear alleviated likedeathboy
    • 02 on a plane. the fact is by measurement of what people do not like there is not really a problem in comparison to acceptance of other culture that does moredeathboy
    • harm or a higher number of the value being focused on. its not rational. this is that black scientist guy capt wow shit he was sayingdeathboy
    • its emotional. its cherry picking what you want. at least own up to it. I dont want you to have guns because they frighten me. Fear is all that is in playdeathboy
    • Literally EVERYTHING you've mentioned that kills is regulated heavily and is addressed regularly in attempts to limit losses of lives.monospaced
    • there is no point arguing as soon as he thinks there is no problem.pango
    • Mono are guns and weapons not regulated more so than autos? Which is not the point. We are talking basic freedoms. And freedoms historically that are represseddeathboy
    • for central control. Should autos be banned for potential deaths to bystanders? basically the argument gun control people make.deathboy
    • I think anyone who cant grasp the basic logic of the arguement is pretty simple since it is a very simple subjectdeathboy
    • im not a gun kook. i dont even own one. I just think in context of other freedoms media is hyping for political gain outside context and reasondeathboy
    • I think its in politicians best interests to disarm populaces for goals they hope to attain.deathboy
    • has so little to with weapon and more power and control.deathboy
    • if you disagree look at money spent or role of anti gun control and value spent vs spending funds in other areasdeathboy
    • money spent on anti gun could fund how many lunches. or promoting safe gun training.deathboy
    • evidence points to small fry political campaign pay.deathboy
    • cool cool. there isn't a problem right?pango
    • nope unless u can define onedeathboy
    • people killed by guns, mountains every other first world countries combined? no i guess that's not a problem.pango
