good job on attempting to minimize and excuse the KKK. i'm sure they appreciate that.
poor job at turning them into some Ostrogoth invasion, pouring over the borders of the Empire.

on average, you have a better chance of meeting a cougar, than a Klansman. 375 million people/8500 people = you are really scared.

Quit diverting and prove you original assertion.

You said this > "We are becoming peaceful as a result of evolution."

So prove it.
1000 years ago any political issue quickly descended into war.

A couple hundred years ago we still fought a lot, but diplomacy was developed.

Now, there are sparse wars. Most of the recent wars were accidental. Vietnam wasn't planned, it just happened. Iraq wasn't intended to be much of anything.

Evolution is preventing massive wars.

Any man or beast that attempts to do them harm.

What makes you so afraid of carrying a firearm?

Why don't you have the same irrational fear of automobiles? They are far more detrimental to our society than firearms.
Sounds like a pussy to me. Over here we protect each other just fine and we don't need any guns to do it. It's called being a man.

Sound like a bunch of morons to me. Over here we use our brains to invent TOOLS to make common tasks, like defense, more efficient and effective. It's called being intelligent.

That seems like a stupid statement. You are somehow trying to equate not owning weapons to not having the knowledge to make them. Ok :lol: Why not go for a grenade then? Chuck one or two down the stairs at the intruder and that's as efficient a defense method as there is gonna be. We don't need guns because we have plenty of methods that are as efficient as it needs to be. Americans always go on about how they have to have guns because otherwise they will get shot instead. It's a circle. You need guns because you've let the bad guys obtain them without breaking a sweat. Here, the bad guys rarely ever have guns, and history has rather taught us that if the bad guy does not have a gun, then there is no need for the home owner to have a gun. We are intelligent enough to know that we don't need guns.

And for not realizing how much more easy it is logistically if the wounded are being created on site and do not require transport!!
I dunno, was it a VA hospital? They have to wait for an ambulance, even if the patient is already in the hospital.

Stupid? No.

Now THAT was a stupid fucking statement.


We don't need guns because we have plenty of methods that are as efficient as it needs to be.
What methods do you have for the elderly to more efficiently and effectively defend themselves than personal firearms? What about the disabled? Does a 100 pound woman have to fight it out with her fists "like a man" to defend herself?



Americans always go on about how they have to have guns because otherwise they will get shot instead.
And ignorant non-Americans don't understand the fact that the overwhelming majority of firearms owned here in the states are used for lawful NON-DEFENSIVE purposes, and are used safely EVERY single day.


Here, the bad guys rarely ever have guns, and history has rather taught us that if the bad guy does not have a gun, then there is no need for the home owner to have a gun. We are intelligent enough to know that we don't need guns.
Good. STAY there.

Here, we're intelligent enough to recognize the fact that there are bad people in this world, and the most efficient and effective way to keep those people at bay is with a firearm.

Nope, people kill. Anything is a weapon in the hands of a human. A spoon, a cup of water, does not matter the weapon m8, it takes a human to make it happen.

Peace

Unless they used their bare hands, it was the weapon. Spoons kill people. Restrict the ownership of spoons. Water should be a controlled substance. What a can of worms you just opened.

Didn't stop two World Wars. Diplomacy is much older than a thousand years. It predates written history.
